Abstract: Morphologic characterisation of five distinct, eastern Australian upper continental slope submarine landslides enabled modelling of their tsunami hazard. Flow depth, run-up and inundation distance has been calculated for each of the five landslides. Future submarine landslides with similar characteristics to these could generate tsunami with maximum flow depths ranging 5–10 m at the coastline, maximum run-up of 5 m and maximum inundation distances of 1 km.
