2026-07-27 06:06:51 UTC (1 hour ago) · approx. 8:06 PM UTC-10 local
On July 27, 2026 at 06:06 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 shallow crustal earthquake struck 23 km ESE of Susitna North, Alaska, at a depth of 35.0 km and coordinates 62.0770°, -149.4300°.
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.
