Seismic Monitoring at Geoscience Australia

Geoscience Australia (GA) builds, maintains and operates the Australian National Seismic Network and Urban Monitoring Network across the Australian continent, its territories and overseas.


To locate earthquakes and other seismic activity across the country and overseas, Geoscience Australia streams real time data from 206 stations across Australia. Additionally, 100's of stations are streamed into Geoscience Australia from international data centres and monitoring agencies and institutions.


From station design through to dissemination of data, the geophysical networks section at Geoscience Australia provides the seismic data that underpins critical seismic monitoring activities undertaken in Australia and internationally.


All the Australian data collected by Geoscience Australia is publicly available from GA servers and is delivered to the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS). This data is freely available as a near real time feed and archived for use by other earthquake and nuclear monitoring centres, tsunami warning centres and well as research groups and institutions.


Presented at the 2017 Australian Earthquake Engineering Society (AEES) Conference.
