Offshore geohazards and seabed mobility

This research stream is focussed on offshore hazards, with particular attention to the mobility of the seabed – whether through large scale geological events, or local scale sediment transport processes. This report is divided into two broad areas. We have extensive activity to report on the subject of seabed mobility, through studies around the O-Tube program (see also the separate report on the O-Tube), and we have continuing studies by Jim Hengesh and Beau Whitney into the geological hazards arising from seismicity onshore and offshore Western Australia.
