    [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.]

  2. Evangelidis et al. image the western edge of the Aegean Shear Zone using the South Evia 2022-2023 Seismic Sequence.

    They identify the activation of a NW-SE fault structure, emphasizing the urgency for better seismic network coverage in the region.
