A relocated catalog of 324 aftershocks from 12 earthquakes (1938–2021) along the Aleutian-Alaska megathrust is presented.
The catalog establishes revised aftershock regions, with smaller events (Mw = 7.7–8.2) postdating five larger, earlier events (1938, 1946, 1957, 1964, and 1965).
The aftershock regions provide better resolution of the trench-normal extent of aftershocks, enabling a nuanced view of coseismic slip.
