Brief description

Parametric dataset of earthquakes in the Australian region, with magnitudes greater than 2.5. Includes records of instrumentally recorded earthquakes and explosions, and earthquake parameters inferred from historic documents. Threshold magnitude of completeness varies spatially and temporally. Value: This data has historic value, and is used in assessment of earthquake hazard, risk and potential impacts from future events. Scope: A catalogue of known historical earthquakes in Australia and adjacent regions.

Lineage
