Tsunami Inundation Models for the GOLD COAST region

The Attorney General's Department (AGD) has supported Geoscience Australia (GA) in developing a range of products to support the understanding of tsunami hazard through the Australian Probabilistic Tsunami Warning System Project. The work reported here is intended to further build the capacity of the Jurisdictions in developing inundation models for prioritised locations.

While the associated report provides background, model results and interpretations, the DVD contains all data, scripts and software necessary to reproduce and potentially augment the models underpinning the report. This will allow the Jurisdiction to rerun the models with minor modifications or new elevation data as needed and also potentially replicate the methodology to other locations within the model extent, if desired.

The data provided on this DVD is:

• The Professional Opinion Report 2009/07 entitled Capacity building for tsunami planning and preparation: inundation models for south east Tasmania
• Figures of maximum inundation depth and maximum flow speed
• Model outputs including:
  • ArcGIS grids of maximum inundation depth and maximum flow speed for the areas of interest
  • CSV files containing timeseries for specific locations in the models
  • ArcGIS grid of the resulting elevation generated by the model software ANUGA
• Combined elevation data used by the simulation
• The Python scripts used to run the models

The tsunami wave data on this disk are all derived from events available in the Australian Tsunami Hazard Map. As this dataset is very large, this DVD only contains the events described in the report.
