Lightning Talk at SSA
For the last few years at the Seismological Society of America’s annual meeting, an evening session has been held for a group of presentations known as Lightning Talks. These are less formal but informative rapid-fire 5-minute presentations where speakers have to keep up with automatic slide progressions in an effort to…
Gecko accelerographs monitoring PNG aftershocks
Following the magnitude 7.5 earthquake in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, Australian seismologists from the SRC, University of Melbourne, and the Australian Earthquake Engineering Society began planning a mission to install an aftershock monitoring network.
Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessments – PSHA
In 1976 the SRC produced our first seismic hazard report for an LNG tank in Dandenong, Victoria. Since then we have produced several hundred seismic hazard assessments for a wide range of structures including dams, weirs and barrages; nuclear facilities
Free Earthquake Analysis Software
The SRC is proud to introduce Waves, a free software application for viewing earthquake waveforms. Waves is the result of over 15 years of development and refinement of our seismogram viewer, which we believe is by far the easiest to use earthquake waveform analysis software package available today. With Waves you can…
