Just 12 minutes ago, a 3.3-magnitude earthquake struck near Maitland, Maitland Municipality, New South Wales, Australia. The tremor was recorded early morning on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, at 5:18 am local time, at a very shallow depth of 2.4 miles below the surface.
The event was filed by Geoscience Australia (GeoAu), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 3.4.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Mount Thorley (pop. 71) located 4 miles from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Singleton (pop. 5,100) located 9 miles from the epicenter, Singleton Heights (pop. 4,600) 10 miles away, Wattle Ponds (pop. 1,100) 12 miles away, Cessnock (pop. 15,100) 19 miles away, and Heddon Greta (pop. 2,000) 26 miles away. In Maitland (pop. 67,100, 27 miles away), and Muswellbrook (pop. 12,100, 31 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.

Postdoctoral Research Associate Post Doctorate Research Opportunity Multifunctional Materials Modeling and Experimental Characterization

Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP) Florida A&M—Florida State University (FAMU-FSU) College of Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Tallahassee, FL 32310

A post doctorate research opportunity is currently available in the Mechanical Engineering Department and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero Propulsion (FCAAP) at the joint FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. The researcher will work within an interdisciplinary group at FAMU-FSU and the University of Florida through a Center of Excellence on Sense, Assess, Respond for high speed aircraft. https://fcaap.fsu.edu/aeromorph/

The research is focused on the application of information theory and applied mechanics to understand dynamical complexity in multifunctional materials and adaptive structures interacting with high speed fluid flow. It includes applying relationships between multifractal spatial and temporal structure with properties in physical reservoir computers that interact with fluid dynamics. It builds
