M3.3 Earthquake 32 km S of Denali National Park, Alaska — June 10, 2022
2022-06-10 17:16:16 UTC (2022-06-10) · approx. 7:16 AM UTC-10 local
On June 10, 2022 at 17:16 UTC, a magnitude 3.3 shallow crustal earthquake struck 32 km S of Denali National Park, Alaska, at a depth of 14.4 km and coordinates 63.2507°, -151.7250°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 1.3 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 114 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
