Animation showing Australian Earthquakes since 1964
-
Geoscience Australia provides rapid, event-specific, earthquake information from its 24x7 earthquake information centre. Information in this service includes basic earthquake parameters (time, location and magnitude) and information about local effects including ground shaking (modelled).
-
Scanned enquires and insurance claims requesting information about South Australian Earthquake or Seismic data for teleseismic events. 1959-1987
-
This short video by the Geoscience Australia Education Team is targeted at primary students but is suitable for a wider audience. This video introduces the concepts of earthquake monitoring using seismometers and seismographs. It also features the National Earthquake Alert Centre. Viewers are asked to try making earthquakes at home using the accelerometers in their smartphones. For more education resources visit ga.gov.au/education.

Seismic Station ADE Teleseismic times charts. 2002-2008
-
Segmented time series data for earthquake events. Data are in raw digital counts and have associated instrument metadata for calibration to physical ground-motion measures. These data are used to inform a range of applications in seismic hazard assessment and for assessing the utility of current observatory practice for magnitude assessment. <b>Value: </b>Used in the selection and development of ground-motion models used for seismic hazard purposes. These data also enable the assessment and development of new earthquake magnitude formulae. <b>Scope: </b>Data has been collected on an ad hoc basis, some early digital data dates back to 1989 (i.e. Newcastle earthquake), and the dataset continues to grow as earthquakes of interest occur, or various temporary deployments are rolled out. Instrument metadata is not always known.
