Mw 7.9 Gulf of Alaska

updated 27 January 2023

report

On 23 January 2018 a major earthquake occurred in the Gulf of Alaska at a depth of 30 km. The seismic event occurred at 09:31:44 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.9.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a convergence of critical planetary and lunar geometry from 17 to 20 January 2018.

Venus played a dominant role in the planetary geometry from 16 to 23 January 2018, as marked by the purple lines on the SSGI-graph below. The most siginficant geometry is the conjunction Mercury-Venus-Neptune early on 20 January, which was followed by a lunar conjunction with Neptune several hours later. But critical lunar geometry already started on 18-19 January with Mars and Neptune, possibly followed by Saturn and Mercury on 22-23 January.
