About

The Australian Earthquake Engineering Society was established following the 1989 Newcastle earthquake to promote the practice of earthquake engineering and engineering seismology.
The society holds an annual conference, usually in late November. The venue changes each year, usually hosted near a major city.

Acknowledgements

AEES would like to thank the committee for volunteering their time to manage the Society throughout the year. Thanks also to the Seismology Research Centre for managing this website and the discussion forum, and to Geoscience Australia for ongoing support.
