2004年阳江MS4.9地震震源参数分析

利用广东数字地震台网的资料计算了2004年9月17日广东阳江Ms4.9地震的震源机制为:节面走向57°,倾角47°,滑动角69°,主压应力方向342°,倾角0°,主张应力方向252°,倾角75°,属逆断层性质;地震矩为1.69×1015N·m,应力降为1.7 MPa,震源半径为876 m.根据阳江地区震前22个ML＞2.5的中小地震震源参数,得到一些经验关系.S波拐角频率随时间的变化显示出Ms4.9地震前有下降趋势;阳江序列P轴方位角的变化显示出震前4个月应力开始趋于一致.     

温州珊溪水库地震重新定位与速度结构联合反演

通过震源位置和速度结构联合反演方法,利用浙江和福建区域地震台网和珊溪水库台网给出的P波走时资料,得到了珊溪水库地区的三维速度结构,重新确定了珊溪水库地震的震源参数。结果表明:①震中总体呈现NW向分布,NW走向的双溪-焦溪垟断裂可能为珊溪水库地震序列的发震断层。②珊溪水库地震震源深度最大为9.5km,平均为5.4km,小于华南地震区10km的平均震源深度。③水库北、南两岸的地震较浅,震源深度均小于5km,水库淹没区地震较深。水库诱发地震之初的几年中震源深度有一个逐渐变大的过程,这可能是由于库水逐渐往深部下渗,从而进一步诱发了更深处的地震所致。④研究区存在一个低P波速度异常区,低速区位于水库淹没区内的多组断裂交汇部位,地震大多发生在低速异常区内。这可能与水库蓄水后库水下渗有关。

2014年2月12日于田7.3级地震序列震源机制特征分析

基于新疆及西藏区域数字地震台网的宽频带资料,采用CAP方法反演了2014年2月12日于田7.3级地震的前震、主震及早期MS≥3.5余震序列的震源机制解。结果显示,此次7.3级强震为带有正断分量的走滑型地震,结合震源区的构造和余震分布,节面I走向241°/倾角90°/滑动角-22°,判定该节面代表了主震的发震断层面。主震主压力轴方位为194o,与该区历史中强震主压应力P轴方位近NS向较为接近。其5.4级前震和主震震源机制解具有较高的一致性。18次余震中有10次为走滑型地震,其中6次为正断型,2次为逆断型,且70%的地震具有近SN向的P轴方位。此次7.3级地震序列震源深度范围5~28km,而大部分地震为15~20km,略大于本文计算得到的主震震源深度10km。     

近震全波形反演2017年九寨沟M7.0地震序列震源机制解

搜集了四川地震台网的波形资料,采用全波形反演2017年8月8日九寨沟M7.0地震序列震源机制解.反演结果显示,九寨沟主震矩震级为M_W6.36,震源深度为22 km,节面I走向为150°,倾角为80°,滑动角为-20°;节面Ⅱ走向为244°,倾角为70°,滑动角为-169°.余震主要分布在14~22 km深度范围内,震源机制以走滑型为主,其中正断型地震2个,逆冲型地震2个,走滑型地震24个,混合型地震8个.断层面优势方向为SSE向,与塔藏断裂和虎牙断裂走向基本一致,但与塔藏断裂最南段存在明显差异.倾角变化集中在60°~80°,滑动角主要分布在0°附近,表明九寨沟地震序列主要受SSE走向、近似直立的左旋走滑断层控制.P轴优势方位为SEE向,仰角主要分布在30°以内,与区域应力场基本一致.震源区的机制类型和应力状态均存在空间分段差异.本文推测此次九寨沟M7.0地震序列可能发生在虎牙断裂向北延伸的隐伏断裂上,但不排除地震引起了塔藏断裂南段和虎牙断裂以北隐伏断裂同时破裂的可能.     

濮阳小震集中区震源机制解与应力场跟踪分析与研究

华北地区地震震源机制分区特征

利用华北地区(北纬36°—42°;东经111°—125°范围)2010年1月至2014年6月≥ML2.5的918个地震事件波形资料,采用FOCMEC方法计算震源机制,根据参与计算的清晰初动数量及振幅个数,以及在分别采用5°、10°、15°不同步长搜索震源机制解结果必须为同一组接近解的原则,我们共得到572个可靠的震源机制解.对于震级相对较大且波形低频部分信噪比较好的地震,同时采用TDMT全波形反演方法反演了矩张量,最终得到14个地震的矩张量,并与利用FOCMEC方法得到的震源机制解进行了比较.同时我们还搜集了1937年以来华北地区中强地震的震源机制解结果.根据震源机制类型特征及构造特点,我们从空间上对震源机制结果进行了分区分析.结果表明:研究区内中小地震的震源机制类型相对复杂,但仍能看出中小地震震源机制有显著的分区特征,震源机制主要类型是正断型和走滑型,并且大部分正断型震源机制分布在山西断陷带、唐山老震区、海城老震区内.该现象表明研究区内主要变形以平移和拉张为主;同时通过大于4级以上地震震源机制类型主要为走滑型可得出,走滑型应力在华北地区应力场上占绝对优势,但是局部地区的正断型应力也比较显著,比如山西断陷带、海城老震区、唐山老震区、渤海内(烟台—蓬莱段局部地区).     

Anisotropy and temporal variations in the fast azimuth of the fast shear wave beneath southern Kamchatka during 1993–2002

Parameters of split shear waves from local earthquakes in the area of the PET IRIS station (town of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatski) were measured over the period 1993–2002 for the study of anisotropic properties of rocks in the subduction zone and variations in the fast azimuth of the fast shear wave (?). The dominating fast shear wave polarization directions were oriented in 1993–2002 along N90°E ± 20° in agreement with the direction of the Pacific plate motion. The normalized shear wave delay times δt _SS increase to a depth of 150 km. The values of δt _SS are largest (up to 20 ms/km) for earthquakes at depths of 50–60 and 90–150 km and smallest (up to 6 ms/km) for earthquakes at depths greater than 200 km. The fast azimuths for events with H < 80 km are described in terms of a horizontal transversely isotropic (HTI) model of the medium, with the axis oriented northward. Temporal variations in the fast azimuths with an amplitude of up to 90° and a predominant period of about 400–600 days are observed for events at depths of 80–120 km. The anisotropy of rocks is described by effective models of the orthorhombic and HTI symmetries. The predominant fast shear wave fast azimuths from events at depths of 120–310 km vary with time: the polarization axis was oriented to the north in 1993–1995, to the north and east in 1996–1998, to the east in 1999–2000, and to the northeast and southeast in 2001–2002. The anisotropy of rocks can be described in terms of the HTI model with the symmetry axis subparallel to the focal zone dip.     

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.

The seismicity and tectonic stress field characteristics of the Longmenshan fault zone before the Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake

The seismicity of Longmenshan fault zone and its vicinities before the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan M_S8.0 earthquake is studied. Based on the digital seismic waveform data observed from regional seismic networks and mobile stations, the focal mechanism solutions are determined. Our analysis results show that the seismicities of Longmenshan fault zone before the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake were in stable state. No obvious phenomena of seismic activity intensifying appeared. According to focal mechanism solutions of some small earthquakes before the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the direction of principal compressive stress P-axis is WNW-ESE. The two hypocenter fault planes are NE-striking and NW-striking. The plane of NE direction is among N50°?70°E, the dip angles of fault planes are 60°?70° and it is very steep. The faultings of most earthquakes are dominantly characterized by dip-slip reverse and small part of faultings present strike-slip. The azimuths of principal compressive stress, the strikes of source fault planes and the dislocation types calculated from some small earthquakes before the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake are in accordance with that of the main shock. The average stress field of micro-rupture along the Longmenshan fault zone before the great earthquake is also consistent with that calculated from main shock. Zipingpu dam is located in the east side 20 km from the initial rupture area of the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. The activity increment of small earthquakes in the Zipingpu dam is in the period of water discharging. The source parameter results of the small earthquakes which occurred near the initial rupture area of the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake indicate that the focal depths are 5 to 14 km and the source parameters are identical with that of earthquake.     

中国6.0级以上地震临震电离层扰动时空分布特征研究

基于GPS TEC数据,对1998年11月1日-2010年12月31日中国大陆M_S≥6.0地震临震电离层扰动进行了研究.分析发现,震中上空及周围的东、南、西、北4个方向震前15天到地震当天时序变化趋势较相似,5个方向都观测到了震前3-5天负异常稍高于正异常的现象.按震中±10°、±20°、±30°不同空间尺度分析震前0-15天TEC变化,研究表明临震电离层异常最明显的区域并不位于震中的正上空,而是向磁赤道方向偏移,空间影响尺度大约为±15°左右;正异常在震前14天、10天震中西南方向出现不同程度的高值区,负异常在震前5天震中东南方向较明显.最后,应用静电场假设对这些现象进行了解释.     

Evidence that earthquakes have been triggered by reservoir in the Song Tranh 2 region,Vietnam

In the Song Tranh 2 (ST2) hydropower reservoir located in the Quang Nam province, Central Vietnam, earthquakes started occurring soon after impoundment of the reservoir in late 2010. Earthquakes continue to occur in the region, and two earthquakes of M 4.6 and 4.7 on October 22, 2012 and November 15, 2012, respectively, have been reported (Trieu et al. 2014; Giang et al. 2015) in the vicinity of the reservoir. In the present study, b-value has been estimated, and focal mechanism solutions have been computed for the first time using moment tensor inversion approach. Also, the influence of impoundment of reservoir on the occurrence of earthquakes has been computed for the ST2 region based on Coulomb stress. A quality data set of 595 earthquakes recorded for the period of October 2012 to April 2014 at ten stations of the seismic network operated by the Institute of Geophysics (IGP) has been used to calculate b-values for the northern and southern seismicity clusters of the region. In general, the b-values associated with reservoir-triggered seismicity (RTS) are found to be higher than the regional b-values in the frequency-magnitude relation of earthquakes. For the ST2 region, it is found that the b-values for the northern and southern clusters are 0.94 ± 0.04 and 0.90 ± 0.04, respectively. Focal mechanism solutions obtained for the two earthquakes close to the reservoir have a right-lateral strike-slip mechanism, with the preferred planes trending NW-SE. These results are concurrent with the orientation of the nearby local surface faults, which we confirm as the active faults in this region. Influence of the stresses due to reservoir water load on the local seismicity is computed based on the obtained focal mechanism by using the concept of fault stability. It is found that most of the earthquakes occur in the positive Coulomb stress region, which shows the influence of reservoir impoundment on earthquake occurrence in the vicinity. Our results suggest that the local earthquakes are triggered by the impoundment of the ST2 reservoir.     

The 1992 Tafilalt seismic crisis (Anti-Atlas, Morocco)

The Tafilalt region, located at the eastern end of the Anti-Atlas chain in Morocco, was shaken on 23 and 30 October 1992 by two moderate earthquakes of magnitude mb ∼ 5 and intensity ∼ VI MSK64, which caused two deaths and great damage in the area between Erfoud and Rissani. The review of data available on the seismic crisis allowed us to improve the knowledge on the macroseismic, instrumental and source parameters of the earthquakes. The main results of the present study are: (1) location of the epicentres with the help of data from a close portable network allowed us to propose new epicentral coordinates at 31.361° N, 4.182° W (23 October) and 31.286° N, 4.347° W (30 October); both events have focal depths of 2 km; (2) the shock of 30 October was followed by a series of 305 aftershocks, most of which were located west of Rissani; the 61 best-constrained events had focal depths of 5 to 19 km and magnitudes 0.7 to 3; (3) the largest damage was located in an area between the two epicentres within the Tafilalt valley and was probably amplified by site effects due to the proximity of the water table within the Quaternary sediments; (4) focal mechanisms of the main events correspond to strike-slip faulting with fault planes oriented N–S (left lateral) and E–W (right lateral); the only mechanism available for the aftershocks also corresponds to strike-slip faulting; (5) spectral analysis shows that the scalar seismic moment (Mo) of the first event is slightly larger than the second; the corresponding values of Mw are 5.1 and 5.0, respectively; (6) the dimensions of the faults for a circular fault model are 7.7 ± 1.4 and 7.4 ± 1.2 km, respectively; the average displacement is 4 cm for the first event and 3.7 cm for the second; the stress drop is 0.4 and 0.3 MPa, respectively, in agreement with standard values; (7) the Coulomb Stress test performed for both earthquakes suggests a relationship between both events only when the used location is at the limit of the horizontal uncertainty; (8) finally, the occurrence of these shocks suggests that the Anti-Atlas is undergoing tectonic deformation in addition to thermal uplift as suggested by recent publications.
