How does Geoscience Australia monitor earthquakes?
Geoscience Australia at Narrabundah monitors seismic data from more than 150 locations in Australia and in excess of 500 stations worldwide in near real-time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Data is delivered within 30 seconds of being recorded at the seismometer to our central processing facility in Canberra through various digital satellite and broadband communication systems.
Seismic data is also provided by overseas Governments which have national seismic networks. They use data provided by the Governments of New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and China and has access to data from global seismic networks provided by the USA, Japan, Germany and France. The International Monitoring System also provides seismic data for tsunami warning purposes.
The seismic data is collected and analysed automatically and immediately reviewed by the Duty Seismologists.
Permission has been granted for the Geocache to be on the property even though its a public area. The cache is available 24/7.
Geoscience Australia will be involved in the 2024 Capital GeoBash event. Plenty of parking is near GZ. Stealth will be required mainly through the week. The cache is a micro so bring a pen.
