On September 28, 2026 at 13:15 UTC, a magnitude 3.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 7 km ENE of Denali Park, Alaska, at a depth of 114.2 km and coordinates 63.7670°, -148.7750°.
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.
