(the use of AI for some of the images is blech, and the dialogue is OK-ish - but fascinating and engaging for everyone, engineering geology and construction!)

[takes me back to my engineering geology days in the Southern Hemisphere, including my thesis – with a healthy dose of spatial analysis and modeling – and all with a specific use; what is not to like?]

[This is ‘unusual’ seismic activity and shaking patterns for this part of the USA, on an ‘unmapped’ fault, and seemingly challenging existing models of earthquake risk in the region; while a 4.8 is not big, it must have been quite a surprise for the people in this heavily populated U.S. Northeast not used to such things (per the paper, the USGS estimated it was felt by some 42 million people.]
