Gladstone Region Tsunami Inundation Modeling Report 2024-2025

Geoscience Australia and Queensland Fire Department developed a Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment for the Gladstone region from Agnes Waters to Yeppoon. The report details modeling validated against three historic tsunami events and provides conservative inundation zone estimates corresponding to Australian tsunami warning categories. These results were published in a PDF report on April 16, 2026.

Use Cases

• Develop evacuation zone maps based on probabilistic inundation hazard results.
• Validate tsunami hazard models based on comparison with three historic tsunami events.
• Plan emergency management strategies based on conservative inundation estimates for warning categories.

Strengths

• Modeling validated against three historic tsunami events.
• Inundation zones correspond to current Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre warning categories.
• Report developed by Geoscience Australia in partnership with Queensland Fire Department.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au.
