What's shaking down under?

该项目旨在确定澳大利亚中部最近地震活动的根本原因。在所有稳定的大陆中，澳大利亚的地震活动令人惊讶，板内地震相对频繁。然而，这些都是不可预测的，使生命和基础设施处于危险之中。该项目提供了一个机会，使用新的地震实验，以提高小事件的检测，可能会警告一个更危险的地震来，并提供隐藏的地壳边界和断层，最终负责地下成像。其好处将包括改进的灾害评估，以及一个新的预测模型，用于将区域地震活动、地壳断层和矿产系统联系起来的勘探。

This project aims to determine the underlying cause of recent earthquake activity in central Australia. Of all the stable continents, Australia is surprisingly seismically active, with intra-plate earthquakes occurring relatively frequently. However, these are unpredictable, placing lives and infrastructure at risk. This project offers the opportunity to use a new seismic experiment to improve detection of small events that may warn of a more dangerous earthquake to come, and provide sub-surface imaging of the hidden crustal boundaries and faults that are ultimately responsible. Benefits will include improved hazard assessment, and a new predictive model for exploration that relates regional seismicity, crustal faults, and mineral systems.
