🌟OPEN ACCESS🌟 Rupture Model of the 5 April 2024 Tewksbury, New Jersey, Earthquake Based on Regional Lg-Wave Data #TSRbuff.ly/3Ngtrfpwww.seismosoc.org/news/closer-...

Left Panel: Topographic map showing mainshock (yellow star) and seismicity (open circles) across geological units from west‐northwest to east‐southeast New England. Catskills, Highland, Newark basin, and Atlantic Coastal plain are labeled. The Ramapo fault trends northeast and runs through the epicentral area toward Peekskill, New York (red lines). Border faults between the geologic units–Highland and Newark basin continue southwest from the epicenter through Pennsylvania. Three large known historical earthquakes, 30 November 1783 M 5.3 New Jersey, 1 September 1895 M 4.1 New Jersey, and 10 August 1884 M 5.5 New York, are plotted by red squares. The 2024 Tewksbury earthquake is about 20 km west of the 1895 earthquake. 

Right panel shows contour map of mainshock peak ground velocity measured on transverse‐component records filtered at 0.3–10 Hz. Stations are plotted as open and gray triangles, respectively. Credit: Han et al., 2024
