The Suusamyr earthquake was the largest event to strike the Northern Tien Shan for several recent decades. Its epicenter (φ = 42.1° N; λ = 73.6° E) occurred in the Suusamyr basin...

This event produced land fractures and rockfalls due to seismic shaking, but no clear surface‐faulting deformation, indicating a blind fault rupture. Different agencies and research groups provide epicenter locations near...
