GSWA Webinar Series | Seismic monitoring in the Wheatbelt

GSWA Webinar Series | September 2020 Presenter: Dr Ruth Murdie, Senior 3D Geophysicist Title: Seismic monitoring in the Wheatbelt Abstract: Southwest Australia has the highest level of seismicity in the whole of the continent, yet this is not an area where, geologically, we would expect earthquakes. GSWA is installing three new seismic monitoring stations in and around the Wheatbelt in order to better locate the numerous small earthquakes that happen on a regular basis. Permanent seismic stations operated by Geoscience Australia automatically locate some of the larger of these events, but the sparsity of the national monitoring network means that the locations obtained are very poor. These new stations double the number in the region and should result in better locations, better identification of potential fault lines and seismic hazard.
