	Geoscience Australia to Use Kinemetric's Aspen System for Seismic Component of ATWS

 
Geoscience Australia will use Kinemetric's Aspen System Solution for the design of the terrestrial seismic component of the Australian Tsunami Warning System (ATWS). The newly established ATWS, administered by Geoscience Australia (GA) (http://www.ga.gov.au/em/) and other government agencies, will build a monitoring network to detect, locate, and determine the magnitude of potentially tsunamigenic earthquakes occurring in the region and its immediate margins in order to improve tsunami earthquake disaster prevention and reduction.
