The Seismology group does research in observational and
theoretical seismology with a minor program in geomagnetism

Group Research Profile
The 2004 December 26 Sumatran Earthquake and Tsunami
Selected Research Projects
Field Projects:
Since 1992 the group has carried out a major program of deployment of
portable broad-band seismic stations across Australia in experiments
primarily designed to improve knowledge of the 3-D structure of the
region. The SKIPPY experiment (1993-1996) with a sequence of 6
progressive deployments across the continent with an interstation
spacing of around 400 km, provided the first coverage of the whole of
Australia and its surroundings. Subsequent experiments have been on a
range of scales, including detailed studies of the Kimberley region, SE
Australia and Tasmanian and broader scale coverage of Western Austrlia
and the surroundings of the Tasman line marking the edge of Precambrian
outcrop.
The sequence of experiments are indicated on the map

The program of portable deployments has also been extended to East Antarctica
where currently 7 instruments are deployed.
