Thailand’s Earthquake Observation Division (TMD) reported a magnitude 4.5 quake in Thailand near Chiang Mai, Mueang Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai Province, 31 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early afternoon on Monday, June 2nd, 2025, at 2:07 pm local time at a very shallow depth of 1. km. Magnitude and other quake parameters can still change in the coming hours as the agency continues to process seismic data.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.5 earthquake as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Ban Mae Waen (pop. 5,500) located 15 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Chiang Mai (pop. 127,200) located 48 km from the epicenter, San Kamphaeng (pop. 33,000) 48 km away, Ban Mae Thalop (pop. 7,900) 61 km away, and Hang Dong (pop. 17,900) 61 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include San Pa Tong (pop. 17,800) located 68 km from the epicenter, Pa Sang

Synopsis

NSF-supported science and engineering research increasingly relies on cutting-edge infrastructure. With its Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program and Major Multi-user Facilities (“Major Facilities”) projects, NSF supports infrastructure projects at the lower and higher range of infrastructure project costs, Foundation-wide, across science and engineering research disciplines. The Foundation-wide Mid-scale Research Infrastructure opportunity is intended to provide NSF with an agile, Foundation-wide process to fund experimental research capabilities in the mid-scale range between MRI and Major Multi-user Facilities.

NSF defines Research Infrastructure (RI) as any combination of facilities, equipment, instrumentation, or computational hardware or software, and the necessary human capital in support of the same. Major facilities and mid-scale projects are subsets of research infrastructure. The NSF Mid-scale Research Infrastructure-1 Program (Mid-scale RI-1) supports either design activities or implementation of unique and compelling RI projects. Mid-scale implementation projects may include any combination of equipment, instrumentation,
