An enhancement of earthquake vulnerability models for Australian residential buildings using historical building damage

Geoscience Australia (GA) has developed the Earthquake Risk Model (EQRM) as an open source software for probabilistic earthquake hazard and risk assessment. In the EQRM earthquake vulnerability models for HAZUS building types are defined with finer subclasses to account for Australian residential building types. An example is W1TIMBERTILE which represents Timber frame with timber walls and tiled roof. The methodology implemented in the EQRM to compute the likelihood of physical damage state and the economic loss is similar to the HAZUS methodology, which is based on the capacity spectrum method applied to a generalized Single-Degree-Of-Freedom (SDOF) model of the building. The building capacity parameter values for the Australian residential timber and URM buildings were determined primarily from engineering judgment with reference to parameter values provided by HAZUS and some experimental data. This study aims to determine new capacity parameter values for the Australian residential timber and URM buildings using building damage data from two damaging earthquakes: M5.6 Newcastle (1989) and M5.0 Kalgoorlie (2010). The Newcastle damage data is compiled from insurance claim data, from which the economic loss ratio is estimated for four building types: timber structure built before and after 1945 and URM built before and after 1945. The Kalgoorlie damage data is compiled from a detailed population based survey undertaken by GA, from which economic loss ratio is estimated for URM buildings. In both instances the loss ratio data is matched to felt ground shaking intensity (MMI). The compiled building damage data are then used as a reference to determine capacity parameter values of the selected building types. The new vulnerability models for the selected building types are compared with the current models, and the effect of the modifications is highlighted and discussed in a scenario risk assessment for the building portfolio in Newcastle and Kalgoorlie, Australia.

The influence of geology and hydrogeology on landfill disposal of solid waste, and its application in Canberra, ACT

Submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the Australian Capital Territory concerning the inquiry into long-term collection and disposal techniques for Canberra city waste.
In Canberra, solid waste is disposed of in open dumps and sanitary landfill sites. A major environmental problem resulting from such practice is the pollution of groundwater by leachate, and the monitoring of groundwater pollution is an essential part of landfill management that must be continued long after a site is closed. The selection of landfill sites depends on the physical constraints of geology and hydrogeology, but planners do not  always sufficiently consider the physical constraints in the selection of landfill sites. The success of a landfill site depends mainly on site selection,and must be supported by good site management techniques and groundwater-pollution monitoring procedures. In many communities, public authorities maintain good land-fill practice by setting high standards for landfill operators, and by controlling the site through regulations and the supervision of monitoring procedures.

AGSO Formats for Marine Seismic and Navigation Digital Data

This format description is designed to assist users of AGSO digital seismic data. In general  the standard descriptions have been adhered to as specified by Barry et. al. (Recommended Standardsfor Digital Tape Formats, Geophysics, vol 40, No 2 (April 1975) pp 344-352).
Trace header mnemonics for many of the entries are as per used by CogniSeis in their DISCO
software package, others have been defined by AGSO.
Variations to the standard trace header descriptions (bytes 1-180) are as follows. TRACED has expanded codes which are applicable to unstacked data eg. reformatted field data. Static corrections and delays are defined to account for the field acquisition system.
In addition to the standard entries a number of optional entries are also used. Some of these arecreated by DISCO and others relate to AGSO data acquisition and processing. The most importantof these are SHOT or SPN.
Please note that for AGSO data released prior to 1993, a pseudo shot point number was used (SPN)
as opposed to processing shot number (SHOT). The SPN was an assigned number generated from
the stack data set and usually started at 100. This number has no direct relationship to the original field shot number (FFID) or processing shot number (SHOT) and may be considered to be a re-sequenced CDP. Therefore the first SPN on a line may not occur at fall fold but the first live stack
trace. To relate this vintage data to original field data either 141-11) if present, must be used or time values from the headers must be used. Its use was historical and primarily for the purposes of
producing shot point maps which could be related to a section. Its use has been discontinued from 01993 and replaced by SHOT which in most cases will be identical to FFID. Exceptions occur when
the line has been merged for acquisition or processing reasons and SHOT numbers have been re-sequenced to obtain a continuous numbering sequence.
The convention used for the SHOT annotation position is the mid-point of the source and the firstactive channel. Therefore the ship antenna position, which is Rig Seismic's firing navigation referencepoint, is corrected to relate to this point for all final navigation data.
Field data polarity is maintained throughout the processing sequence. The convention for AGSOdata is that a compression wave is plotted as negative.
Some data sets may include bathymetry and geophysical data such as magnetics and gravity. These are also corrected to the mid-point location.

Hydro-geochemical perspectives on hydrogeological processes in the arid to semi arid Barwon Darling (Baaka) River region, New South Wales, Australia

As part of Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future Program, the Upper Darling River Floodplain groundwater project has contributed to an improved understanding of hydrogeological systems of the Barwon–Darling-Baaka River system in northwest New South Wales, a region where a lack of water security impacts communities and the environment, and limits future economic opportunities. 
Key goals of the project were to assess the quality and extent of groundwater resources within the alluvium of the Barwon–Darling-Baaka River system to provide a greater knowledge base for supporting water management and enhanced drought resilience in the region. Groundwater and surface water hydrochemical and isotopic data were used to inform on aquifer characteristics, inter-aquifer and groundwater-surface water connectivity, and groundwater recharge and discharge in this complex arid to semi-arid alluvial system. 
Sixty-eight groundwater and twenty-one surface or rainwater samples were collected, and selected sample suites were analysed for field parameters, major and trace ions, stable water isotopes (δ18O, δ2H, δ13CDIC), strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr), radiocarbon (14C), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), tritium (3H), chlorine isotopes (36Cl/Cl), noble gases (He, 3He/4He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe), and radon (222Rn). 
Statistical clustering analysis of this new data in combination with historical datasets identified three distinct hydrochemical facies: surface water and recently recharged low salinity groundwater, saline alluvial groundwater, and groundwater associated with aquifers of the Mesozoic Great Artesian Basin. Isotope and residence time tracer signatures revealed spatial differences in recharge, groundwater-surface water connectivity, and inter-aquifer connectivity between low salinity groundwater in hydraulic connection with the DarlingBaaka River, and the saline groundwater systems that characterise most of the alluvium throughout the study area.
Integrating this hydrochemical data with other geoscientific data and information provides new insights into hydrogeological processes relevant to key water management issues including controls on the distribution of low salinity groundwater, and identification of areas at potential risk from impacts of saline groundwater.
