Over the past 30 days, New Mexico has recorded 22 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 1 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. The remaining 21 fell in the M2.5–M3.9 band. By depth: 22 shallow (<70 km). 7 of the epicenters were offshore. 13 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 71 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Cluster detection flagged 1 aftershock sequence; the largest contained 7 smaller events within 20 km and 72 hours of its mainshock. Focal depths ranged from 4.2 km to 15.4 km. All 22 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
