Gladstone Region Tsunami Inundation Modelling Report 2024-2025

A Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) report for the Gladstone region in Queensland, developed by Geoscience Australia in partnership with the Queensland Fire Department. The report details modelling validated against three historic tsunami events and provides probabilistic sampling of earthquake scenarios. Results include conservative inundation zone estimates corresponding to current tsunami warning categories.

Use Cases

• Develop targeted evacuation plans based on modelled inundation zones.
• Assess probabilistic tsunami hazard from Pacific Ocean subduction zones.
• Validate tsunami models against the three historic events mentioned in the description.
• Inform emergency management strategies using conservative inundation estimates.

Strengths

• Modelling approach is validated against three historic tsunami events.
• Results are tied to current Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre warning categories.
• Report is a product of a partnership between Geoscience Australia and the 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.
• The primary data format is PDF, which may limit direct machine-readability for analysis.
