2026-05-25 07:50:07 UTC (1 hour ago) · approx. 9:50 PM UTC-10 local
On May 25, 2026 at 07:50 UTC, a magnitude 2.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 25 km NW of Cooper Landing, Alaska, at a depth of 47.3 km and coordinates 60.6730°, -150.0950°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 2.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 84.8 kg of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 32 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
