On July 13, 2025 at 23:13 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 113 km SE of Ugashik, Alaska, at a depth of 64.4 km and coordinates 56.7348°, -156.1842°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 674 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 83 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
