[5] The earthquake measured 5.9 on the moment magnitude scale. [1][2][6] The earthquake caused minor structural damage in parts of Melbourne ...
The majority of Australia's weather radars are operated by the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), an executive agency of the Australian Government. The radar network is continually being upgraded with new technology such as doppler and dual polarisation to provide better now-casting. Doppler weather radars are able to detect the movement of ...

Earthquake prediction is a branch of the science of seismology concerned with the specification of the time, location, and magnitude of future earthquakes within stated limits, [1][a] and particularly "the determination of parameters for the next strong earthquake to occur in a region". [2] Earthquake prediction is sometimes distinguished from ...
Earthquake forecasting is a branch of the science of seismology concerned with the probabilistic assessment of general earthquake seismic hazard, including the frequency and magnitude of damaging earthquakes in a given area over years or decades. [1] While forecasting is usually considered to be a type of prediction, earthquake forecasting is ...
