Understanding and mitigating earthquake risks in Australia has relied on incomplete and biased historical data, often excluding First Nations knowledge. While essential for long-term hazard assessment, historical records have been limited by inconsistent methodologies and restricted access. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for more accurate hazard assessments and effective risk mitigation strategies.
This project aims to significantly improve the characterisation of historical hazard events by enhancing the quantity and quality of data available for research.
An online webinar provided a more detailed briefing of the project and the opportunity for interested parties to pose specific questions. Watch the recording below.
