Introduction: Geoscience Australia is currently working on a revision of the current Map. An updated version is due to be released in early 2018. Geoscience Australia are interested in meeting with potential contributors (e.g. source models, data, techniques), potential users (engineers, insurance industry, seismic hazard consultants), and other interested parties.

Overview: Inform stakeholders of the update to the Geoscience Australia National Seismic Hazard Map, provide an overview of the scope of the project (i.e. timeline, science, modelling approach) & seek feedback on our plans.

Discussion: Discuss opportunities for contributing to the project, in particular the process for including inputs to the modelling (i.e. catalogues, seismic source models, fault source models, GMPEs, etc.).
