Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment for the Gladstone Region, 2024-2025

Geoscience Australia's 2024-2025 report details a Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment for Queensland's Gladstone region, from Agnes Waters to Yeppoon. The modelling characterises tsunami hazards from Pacific Ocean earthquakes, validated against three historic tsunami events. Results include conservative inundation zone estimates aligned with Australian tsunami warning categories.

Use Cases

• Validate tsunami inundation models based on the described probabilistic sampling of earthquake scenarios.
• Plan coastal evacuation zones based on the conservative inundation estimates corresponding to official warning categories.
• Assess marine hazard exposure for infrastructure based on the described modelling of earthquake sources from Pacific subduction zones.

Strengths

• Modelling approach is validated against three historic tsunami events.
• Results are aligned with current Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre warning categories.
• Developed by Geoscience Australia in partnership with the Queensland Fire Department.

Limitations

• Data is presented as a PDF report; underlying model data and column-level details are unavailable.
• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified; the report is dated for the 2024-2025 period.
