从山西地震带看大同－阳高地震

叙述井分析了山西地震带地质构造特点和近期的中强地震及震群活动基本特征，在此基础上，与大同一阳高地震进行了分析对比，认为大同－阳高地震是山西地震带近期地震活动的继续，而山西地震带今后强震活动阶段的开始，其标志应是ＮＶＥ向新生代断陷内的中强地震活动，因此在分析和预估山西地震带今后地震发展趋势时，应密切注视这一地带的地震活动。     

福建连城5级地震与构造的关系分析

１９９２年１１月２６日在福建连城发生了５．０级地震，宏观震中位于黄地－赖源－带（１１６°５７′Ｅ，２５°３２′Ｎ），震中烈度Ⅵ度强，震源深度７－８ｋｍ。极震区等震线呈椭圆形，长轴方向为ＮＥ，与震中区的黄地－梅村头断裂展布方向基本一致，余震沿该断裂分布，并自ＮＥ向ＳＷ方向迁移。黄地－梅村头断裂可能是这次地震的发震构造。

中国华北地区大地震复发周期及迁移特征

以古地震、历史地震和现代地震作为时间域,以华北地区、山西地震带、河北平原地震带和郯庐地震带为单元,分析和研究了华北地区大地震复发周期和迁移特征。在此基础上,讨论了华北地区地震活动的动力学问题、块体框动、地震迁移和地震活动趋势。     

张家口—渤海地震活动带中东段地壳剪切波分裂研究

张家口—渤海地震活动带是我国华北地区一条重要的地震带。该区域的主压应力场方向为近ＥＷ 向。本文利用２００５年９月—２０１０年９月首都圈地区地震台站记录到的数字波形资料,采用ＳＡＭ 方法（剪切波分裂系统分析法）,研究讨论张家口—渤海地震带中东段地壳介质各向异性的空间分布特征。结果显示：张渤活动带中部及以东区域总体的优势方向明显,为近ＥＷ 方向。横跨张渤活动带两侧的快剪切波优势偏振方向的空间分布显示,地震带北侧燕山隆起区内、地震带范围内和地震带南侧华北盆地内的快剪切波优势偏振方向均为近ＥＷ 方向,差异不大。     

华北地区的共轭地震构造带

本文采用小地震活动图象和４．０级（Ｍｓ）以上地震震源机制资料的构造分析方法，得到一幅华北地区震源构造在地面的投影分布图，它显示４条ＮＮＥ－ＮＥ向和１条ＮＷＷ－ＮＷ向地震构造带交切成的共轭剪切构造格架。每条地震构造带又由一系列共轭剪切构造组成。由发生在带内的５个大震序列共轭破裂特征发现，共轭地震构造的孕震与控震作用是地震构造带形成的机制。     

A Monte Carlo study of rainfall forecasting with a stochastic model

A procedure for short-term rainfall forecasting in real-time is developed and a study of the role of sampling on forecast ability is conducted. Ground level rainfall fields are forecasted using a stochastic space-time rainfall model in state-space form. Updating of the rainfall field in real-time is accomplished using a distributed parameter Kalman filter to optimally combine measurement information and forecast model estimates. The influence of sampling density on forecast accuracy is evaluated using a series of a simulated rainfall events generated with the same stochastic rainfall model. Sampling was conducted at five different network spatial densities. The results quantify the influence of sampling network density on real-time rainfall field forecasting. Statistical analyses of the rainfall field residuals illustrate improvement in one hour lead time forecasts at higher measurement densities.     

Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration Aims And Scope

正This journal is established by the Institute of Engineering Mechanics(IEM),China Earthquake Administration,to promote scientific exchange between Chinese and foreign scientists and engineers so as to improve the theory and practice of earthquake hazards mitigation,preparedness,and recovery.To accomplish this purpose,the journal aims to attract a balanced number of papers between Chinese and     

Foreword

Destructive earthquakes have caused great damage in China and the United States and collapsing buildings havecaused many deaths and injuries. The field of earthquake engineering studies earthquake hazards, the occurrence ofearthquakes of various magnitudes, the nature of the ground shaking during an earthquake, the vibration of structuresduring earthquakes, the strengthening of existing structures and the design of new structures to be earthquake resistant,and finally, how to cope with earthquake damage and restore a city to normal functioning. Such efforts are in progressin both countries, but unfortunately, the language barrier interferes with the free flow of information between China andthe Untied States. It would be mutually beneficial if some means could be developed to promote the exchangeof information across the Pacific Ocean. This new journal has been established for this purpose and its success willbe an important step in promoting earthquake engineering in China and the United States.

Enhancing remote sensing research on global change to improve our understanding on Earth system processes

正Global Change includes climate change and other environmental changes caused by the joint interaction among various layers of Earth. From the positive side, global change provides new opportunities to human and other living forms on Earth. In the meantime, it creates tremendous challenges and negative impact. At present, the negative impacts have reached all primary processes of the global ecosystem and every aspect of human society, especially causing degradation of the ecosystem. For instance, intensive deforestation causes decline of biodiversity; global warming causes sea level rise and increases
