Dover Delaware Earthquake of 11/30/17
On the 30th of November, the east coast of the United States suffered a rare earthquake of Richter magnitude 4.1 with an epicenter near Dover, Delaware. DTM seismologists, led by Lara Wagner, raced to get a portable seismic network up and running to record aftershocks in order to eventually learn the cause of the earthquake. Read about it here.
