Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment for Gladstone Region 2024-2025

A Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) report developed by Geoscience Australia in partnership with Queensland Fire Department for the Gladstone region. The report details modelling validated against three historic tsunami events and provides conservative inundation zone estimates corresponding to current tsunami warning categories. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05 14.

Use Cases

• Develop targeted evacuation plans based on conservative inundation zone estimates.
• Validate tsunami hazard models based on the validation against three historic events described.
• Assess probabilistic earthquake scenarios and their occurrence rates for the Pacific Ocean subduction zones.
• Inform emergency management strategies using the modelled marine hazard results.

Strengths

• Modelling is validated against three historic tsunami events.
• Report provides conservative inundation estimates aligned with official warning categories.
• Developed by Geoscience Australia in partnership with Queensland Fire Department.

Limitations

• Data is provided as a PDF report; underlying model data or tabular results are not directly accessible.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the report.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
