芦山7.0级地震序列的震源位置与震源机制解特征

基于中国国家和四川区域数字地震台网记录,采用HypoDD方法精确定位了四川芦山M_L2.0级以上地震序列的震源位置,采用CAP方法反演了36次M_L4.0级以上地震的最佳双力偶震源机制解,并利用小震分布和区域应力场拟合了可能存在的发震断层面参数,从而综合分析了芦山地震序列的震源深度、震源机制和震源破裂面特征,探讨可能的发震构造.结果显示,7.0级主震的震源位置为30.30°N、102.97°E,初始破裂深度为15 km左右,震源矩心深度为14 km左右,最佳双力偶震源机制解的两组节面分别为走向209°/倾角46°/滑动角94°和走向23°/倾角44°/滑动角86°,可视为纯逆冲型地震破裂,绝大多数M_L4.0级以上余震的震源机制也表现出与主震类似的逆冲破裂特征.M_L2.0级以上余震序列发生在主震两侧,集中分布的长轴为30 km左右,震源深度主要集中在5～27 km,M_L3.5级以上较大余震则集中分布在9～25 km的深度上,并揭示出发震断层倾向北西的特征.利用小震分布和区域应力场拟合得到发震断层参数为走向207°/倾角50°/滑动角92°,绝大多数余震发生在断层面附近10 km左右的区域.综合地震序列分布特征、主震震源深度和已有破裂过程研究结果,可以推测主震破裂过程自初始点沿断层的两侧扩展破裂,南侧破裂比北侧稍长,滑动量主要集中在初始破裂点附近,可能没有破裂到地表.综合本文研究成果、地震烈度分布和现有的科学考察结果,初步推测发震构造为龙门山山前断裂,也不排除主震震中东侧还存在一条未知的基底断裂发震的可能性.     

阜阳M_S4.3地震震源深度的确定及地震成因分析

2015年3月14日在安徽阜阳地区发生了M_S4.3地震,随后发生3月23日M_s3.6余震.主震造成2人死亡13人受伤.房屋倒塌155间,受损1万多间.主震震级不大,而造成的灾害巨大.本文使用CAP方法反演了两次地震的震源机制解和震源深度,结果显示两次地震的震源机制解和深度一致.主震的机制解节面Ⅰ走向110°,倾角75°,滑动角—10°;节面Ⅱ走向202°,倾角80°,滑动角—164°;矩震级M_w4.3,余震矩震级M_w3.7,反演最佳深度均为3 km.最佳深度时波形拟合相关系数较高,表明反演结果是可靠的.使用sPn和sPL深度震相进一步分析了两次地震的震源深度.结果显示,选取的7个台站的sPn震相与Pn震相的平均到时差为1 s,对应的震源深度为3 km.震中距为36 km的利辛台的sPL震相与Pg震相到时差约为1.1 s,对应震源深度约3~4 km之间.两种深度震相分析的震源深度与CAP方法的结果一致,表明本文给出的阜阳地震震源深度为3 km左右基本是可靠的.本次地震造成较大灾害的原因很可能与地震震源较浅有关.阜阳地区地壳结构相对稳定,地质构造演化形成3 km厚的沉积层,本次地震可能是区域应力作用下发生在沉积层里的一次地震.     

2015年7月3日皮山6.5级地震发震构造初步研究

基于新疆区域数字地震台网记录,采用CAP（Cut and Paste）方法反演了2015年7月3日皮山6.5级主震和部分M_S3.6以上余震的震源机制解和震源深度;采用HypoDD方法重新定位了序列中M_L2.5以上地震序列的震源位置,并利用小震分布和区域应力场拟合了可能存在的发震断层面参数.基于上述研究,综合分析了皮山6.5级地震序列的震源深度、震源机制和震源破裂面特征,探讨可能的发震构造.结果显示,利用CAP方法得到的最佳双力偶机制解节面I：走向280°/倾角60°/滑动角90°;节面Ⅱ：走向100°/倾角30°/滑动角90°,矩心深度19 km,表明该地震为一次逆冲型地震事件.大部分M_S3.6以上余震震源机制与主震具有一定的相似性.双差定位结果显示,M_L2.5以上的余震序列主要分布在主震的西南方向,深度主要分布在0～15 km范围内,余震分布显示出与发震构造泽普隐伏断裂一致的倾向南西的特征.利用小震分布和区域应力场拟合得到发震断层参数为走向104°/倾角34°/滑动角94°,该结果与主震震源机制解中节面Ⅱ的滑动角较为接近,绝大多数余震发生在断层面附近10 km左右的区域.根据本研究得到的震源机制、精定位结果以及利用小震分布和区域应力场拟合得到的断层面的参数,结合震源区地质构造情况,初步给出了此次皮山6.5级地震的发震模式.     

2017年8月9日精河MS6.6地震余震序列精定位及发震构造分析

为确定2017年8月9日精河M_S6.6地震的发震构造,本文使用双差定位方法对发震时刻至2017年10月震源区所发生的余震进行了精定位,同时利用CAP波形反演方法,得到了主震的震源机制解,同时使用GPAT方法反演得到了部分余震的震源机制解,并基于两者对本次地震的发震构造予以分析。结果显示:精定位后主震位于（44.27°N,82.85°E）,震源深度为17 km;主震最佳双力偶解对应的节面Ⅰ的走向为260°、倾角为51°、滑动角为84°,节面Ⅱ的走向为89.5°、倾角为39.4°、滑动角为97.4°;余震序列位于主震东侧,并向东展布约30 km,在3—18 km深度范围内均有分布,其优势方向为近EW向,次优势方向为SW向。结果表明,本次地震是一次逆冲型地震,通过反演得到的大量小震震源机制解的结果与主震震源机制解结果相一致。结合余震震中分布、主震及余震的震源机制解以及震源区的地质构造,本文推断近EW走向具有逆冲性质的库松木楔克山前断裂为精河主震的发震构造。      

九江-瑞昌地震的精确定位及其发震构造初探

联合采用双差法和主事件法,对2005年11月26日发生在江西省九江县与瑞昌市交界的5.7级地震序列进行了重新定位,并在此基础上讨论了5.7级主震的震源机制解和可能的发震构造。结果显示:精定位后震源位置的估算误差在EW方向上平均为0.31km,NS方向上平均为0.40km,竖直方向上平均为0.48km,故而得到了更加精细的空间分布图像。此次地震序列在NNW-NW向呈现优势分布,震源深度主要集中在8～14km,又以10～12km最具优势。主震的震源位置大致为北纬29.69°,东经115.74°,震源深度约10.8km。结合地震序列优势分布、主震震源机制解和震区NE向、NW向断裂发育的构造背景,初步推测本次地震序列的主震可能是由瑞昌盆地内的一条NW向隐伏断层活动引发的,发震断层的性质有待于进一步研究。     

岷县M_S6.6地震震源机制及构造应力研究

利用甘肃省测震台网观测到的主震波形记录的初动符号求解了2013年7月22 日岷县Ms6.6地震主震的震源机制,并与哈佛及usgs发布的震源机制进行了对比,对这一地区过去发生过的若干次Mb4.5以上的地震也利用初动符号求解了震源机制,发现与Ms6.6地震的震源机制形态较为相似.进而利用2010年至2011年甘东南宽频带流动台阵的大量近震资料,对在震中距50 km范围内,并且接近岷县Ms6.6地震发震断裂临潭-宕昌断裂的中小地震进行了检索,对检索到的地震进行初动识别后得到初动数目大于10个、并且对震源包络良好的中小地震31个,利用小震的震源机制解求解了该区域的区域应力场.结果表明这一区域的主压力方向为NEE方向.     

包头6.4级地震前后小震活动空间分布特征及其破裂方式研究

对1992 年至1996 年4 月发生在40°00′～41°10′N,108°20′110°30′E 范围内的51 次ML≥2 .0 地震空间位置与包头6 .4 级主震及其余震空间位置的相互关系研究表明,前期地震的活动展布方向与包头6 .4 级主震震源机制解主压应力方向一致,震源深度为9 ～34 km ,78% 的地震活动在20 km 以浅的地层内,前期小震活动使包头—呼和浩特地区形成了空区.包头地震发生在此空区内.包头6 .4 级主震震源较深,余震的震源都比主震的浅.在包头6 .4 级地震发生的前1 ～2 a 时间内,围绕主震空间位置发生了一系列小震,这些小震活动可能对包头地震的成因有着较大影响作用.笔者认为包头6 .4 级地震是脆性破裂,属左旋走滑兼具正断错动.

利用双差定位方法对西藏比如M_S6.1地震序列141次M_L≥2.0地震进行重新定位,采用CAP波形反演方法获得主震的震源机制解,并运用最小空间旋转角方法比较不同机构发布的震源机制解的差异。重新定位后主震震中位置为(31.924°N,92.824°E),靠近余震区中心,震源深度为12.8 km;余震分布沿NE向展布,长约18 km。沿NE向深度剖面结果显示,在主震右上方存在5 km×10 km的近椭圆形地震破裂空区。主震的震源机制解为正断兼走滑型,最佳矩心深度为9.3 km,矩震级为5.98。结合重新定位后余震分布、主震与历史地震震源机制解及地质构造背景等分析,认为具有左旋运动性质的安多南缘断裂可能是该次地震序列的主要发震构造。     

2019年6月17日四川长宁地震重定位及震源机制研究

采用双差重定位和W震相波形反演方法分析 “地震编目系统” 和中国地震台网中心提供的地震观测报告及区域地震波形数据,对2019年四川长宁地震序列进行了重定位,反演获取了M＞4.5地震的震源机制解。地震序列重定位结果显示,长宁地震序列沿NW优势方向呈条带状分布,集中分布于5—10 km深度范围,且发震断层面呈高倾角。震源机制反演结果表明,2019年6月17日四川长宁M_S6.0主震的两个可能发震断层面参数分别为:节面Ⅰ走向12°,倾角50°,滑动角139°;节面Ⅱ走向131°,倾角59°,滑动角48°,最优矩心深度为7.5 km,矩震级M_W5.74。此外几个M＞4.5余震的震源机制也基本与主震类似,均为以逆断为主外加少量走滑的地震破裂事件。综合分析长宁地震序列的重定位、震源机制反演结果以及震中和附近区域的地质构造背景信息推断,本次长宁主震的发震破裂面呈NW?SE走向,发震断层为长宁—双河背斜东北翼发育的逆冲断层。      

张北地区震前、震时和震后的震源机制

对于张北地震之前出现在小震条带上的地震，我们收集了区域地震台网的P波初动和垂直向记录的直达P、S的最大振幅，由理论地震图反演出15次地震的震源机制；同样的方法反演得到145次余震的震源机制；连同刘瑞丰给出的6．2级主震、哈佛大学提供的5．6级强余震的矩张量解一起分析。发现，震前小震震源机制优势取向的平均解、震后余震震源机制优势取向的平均解和主震以及强余震的矩张量解，基本一致。震前、震时和震后的震源机制的优势取向，没有发生可以觉察的显著变化。表明震区始终受到构造应力场的控制，呈现出一定的稳定性。     

Variations in the loadings and riverine transport of nitrate and nitrite in Latvia

The intra-annual and long-term variations in the nitrate and nitrite concentrations and transport are considered for the years 1948–1990. The nutrient loading on the Latvian rivers is subject to considerable intra-annual variations. Weak direct relationships with the fresh water inputs were observed for nitrite, while inverse ones were characteristic for nitrate. The nitrate and nitrite concentrations have been increasing since the late 1950s followed by an increase of the year-to-year variability. Non-point sources of anthropogenic impact (fertilizers leaching from agriculture and the reclamation) increase riverine concentrations of nitrogen compounds, and in particular of nitrate from 300–500 to 1300–1500%.     

Concentration and localization of hydroxylamine in the reservoirs and lakes in the territory of European Russia

Hydroxylamine concentration and localization in the Volga reservoir cascade and in the lakes of Yaroslavl province and Vladimir province were studied. It was found that, in microaerophilic zones of the most productive lakes, the rate of hydroxylamine formation is higher and its localization does not depend on the type of the limnological object (a reservoir or a lake), but is determined by the oxygen regime of the water body in question.     

Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in the study of organochlorine contaminants in albatrosses and petrels

Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in albatrosses and petrels collected off southern Brazil were compared with concentrations of organochlorine contaminants (OCs). δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values, as well as OCs concentrations, exhibited a high degree of variability among individuals and overlap among species. δ¹³C values reflected latitudinal differences among species, with lower values found in Wandering and Tristan Albatrosses and higher values found in Black-browed and Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatrosses and White-chinned Petrels. Some relationships were found between OCs and stable isotopes, but in general a partial ‘uncoupling’ was observed between OCs concentrations and stable isotopes ratios (especially for δ¹⁵N). δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values in Procellariiformes tissues during the non-breeding season appear to be a better indicator of foraging habitats than of trophic relationships, which may partially explain the high degree of variability between concentrations of OCs and stable isotopes ratios in birds with a diversified diet and wide foraging range.     

The role of suspended sediments and phytoplankton in the partitioning and transport of silver in estuaries

Silver sorbs readily at low salinities to both phytoplankton and suspended sediments. As salinity increases, the degree of sorption decreases. Nearly 80% of silver sorbed to suspended sediments at low salinities will desorb at higher salinities, but desorption does not occur when silver is associated with phytoplankton. Thus, silver incorporation onto/into cellular material will increase the retention of silver within the estuary, reducing its rate of transport.     

太湖富营养化湖区秋季水体和沉积物中硝化微生物分布特征及控制因素

微生物参与下的氮循环是富营养化湖泊十分重要的生物地球化学循环过程.采用基于amoA功能基因和16S rRNA基因的荧光定量PCR、PCR-DGGE与高通量测序等分子生物学技术,调查秋季太湖不同水体和表层沉积物中氨氧化古菌(AOA)、氨氧化细菌(AOB)和亚硝酸盐氧化菌(NOB)群落丰度和组成,探讨影响硝化微生物分布的关键环境因子.结果表明,中度富营养化的梅梁湾湖区水体表层、中层和底层水样和表层底泥中AOA amoA基因的丰度分别低于轻度富营养化的湖心区,而不同层水样中AOB amoA基因的丰度分别高于湖心区.梅梁湾湖区和湖心区水样中AOA群落组成基本相似,2个湖区表层沉积物样品中AOA群落组成亦基本相似,水体中AOA群落组成与表层沉积物中AOA群落组成有差异,AOA群落丰度显著受硝态氮、pH和DO影响;表层沉积物中AOB群落丰度有明显差异且显著受总氮含量影响,表层沉积物中NOB群落丰度也有明显差异且显著受亚硝态氮含量影响.太湖梅梁湾湖区和湖心区水体与表层沉积物AOA群落包括Nitrosopumilium和Nitrosotalea两大属;表层沉积物AOB群落主要包括亚硝化单胞菌(Nitrosomonas)和亚硝化螺菌(Nitrosospira)两大属,NOB群落主要包括硝化刺菌(Nitrospina)和硝化螺菌(Nitrospira)两大属,其中硝化螺菌属是淡水湖泊中比较少见的亚硝酸盐氧化菌.影响太湖水体和沉积物中AOA和AOB丰度的最主要环境因子为总氮、总磷与铵态氮.研究表明典型富营养指标(总氮、总磷、铵态氮、硝态氮和硝态氮等)是影响太湖梅梁湾和湖心区水体和沉积物中AOA或AOB丰度以及硝化微生物群落丰度的重要因素.     

Differences in oxygen-18 content of throughfall and rainfall in hardwood and coniferous forests

The differences between δ¹⁸O in throughfall and open rainfall were studied for 16 selected spring and summer storms in deciduous, pine and spruce forests in central Pennsylvania, USA. Throughfall δ¹⁸O averaged 0.17, 0.32 and 0.24%_o greater than δ¹⁸O of open rainfall for all storms at the deciduous, pine and spruce sites, respectively. Throughfall ¹⁸O enrichment was greater in low intensity spring rainfall events than higher intensity growing season storms and greater in the coniferous stands than the deciduous hardwood stand. Maximum throughfall ¹⁸O enrichment of l.61%_o occurred in the spruce forest during one spring event. The differences between rainfall and throughfall ¹⁸O observed in this study for individual storm events may have important implications for isotope flow separation studies.     

Distribution and composition of suspended matter in water and snow cover in Kaliningrad Bay

Field data, collected by the authors during winter expedition studies in Kaliningrad Bay, are analyzed. Notwithstanding the presence of ice cover, considerable advective processes are shown to be taking place in the bay. Seawater enters the bay, spreading in the bottom horizon all over the water area. Suspended sediment concentration in under-ice period is on the average three times less than that in the ice-free period. The space and time variations of its quantitative and qualitative composition under ice are mostly governed by two factors—the effect of the sea and river runoff. The values of vertical fluxed of eolian material to the bay surface in winter vary from 0.5 to 2.9 with the average of 1.7 mg m^–2 day^–1.     

Effect of Moon phases in riometer absorption and in the ionospheric and geomagnetic parameters

Variations in the frequency of occurrence of riometer absorption, minimum frequency of reflection of the ionospheric F layer, minimum height, and height of maximum electron density of the ionospheric F layer near the solar minimum have been studied. Application of the superposed epoch technique has detected the Moon phase effect on these ionospheric parameters. This effect was: three events per day in the occurrence of riometer absorption, 0.056 MHz in the minimum frequency of reflection of the F layer, and 2.6 and 6.7 km, in the change of the minimum height of reflection and height of reflection from the region with maximum electron density of the ionospheric F layer, respectively. The lunar tide action changes the ionospheric conductivity and, thus, influences the current systems of the magnetosphere. Through changes of magnetospheric currents, the Moon phase effect is exhibited in the Ap and Dst indices and is 4.3 and 4.25 nT, respectively.     

Simulation of eutrophication and associated occurrence of hypoxic and anoxic condition in a coastal bay in Japan

A probabilistic method of calculating the occurrence of oxygen-depleted water within a combined hydrothermal and water quality model was presented in this paper to investigate the environmental impact of eutrophication on the living resources. The method was applied to an eutrophicated shallow coastal bay in western Japan, where the occurrence of red tides at the water surface and the onset of bottom hypoxic waters are observed every summer. Both meteorology and freshwater inflow contribute to the development of stratification of the bay, thus limiting the dissolved oxygen supply to bottom waters. The resulting hydrodynamics enhances the development of oxygen-depleted bottom waters by transporting organic matter produced by algal blooms to the inner bay, where it decomposes and exerts high SOD. During August, about 60% of the inner bay is hypoxic for prolonged durations and as a result most of the benthic biota and fish die. The method used here is a very useful and informative way to evaluate the spatial and temporal damage and severity caused by hypoxia on living resources. Moreover, the model results agreed very well with the observed hydrodynamics, thermal structure and water quality data of the stratified bay. The model can be used for other lakes and bays where knowledge of temperature and density stratification is important for assessing water quality.
