本文根据大地测量数据得到过去50年左右阿尔泰山富蕴区域形变场，破裂带中段的相对位移最大，平均速率达6mm/a，总体上表现为沿断裂的走滑运动特征．该形变场可以用1931年富蕴8级地震的震后黏弹性松弛模型进行模拟，反演得到下地壳黏滞系数为1.6×10¹⁹～7.9×10¹⁹Pa·s，上地幔黏滞系数为16×1018～63×1019Pa·s，与华北、Nevada等地区利用震后变形资料推算的黏度基本一致．根据该地区最佳黏弹性分层模型，最近五十年由于岩石圈下部应力松弛引起的地震破裂带两侧最大水平速率约为4mm/a． 我们的研究表明：大陆7～8级大震在几十年后仍可能有可观的地表变形，GPS监测得到的现今变形场可能包含震后变形成分．     

联合GPS和GRACE观测研究日本MW9.0地震震后变形机制

利用GPS和GRACE观测数据研究了日本M_W9.0地震的震后变形特征.GPS观测显示,区域震后位移呈现随指数函数变化特征,变化速率符合大森公式的衰减特性;近五年的震后水平位移累积已达到东向60~165 cm,南向20~65 cm的量值,距震中较远站点已超过同震变化量,且震后变形仍然持续.GRACE观测到显著的震后重力变化,地震破裂两侧的重力变化总体均呈上升趋势,但海洋侧的变化速率较快.联合震后余滑和黏弹性位错理论对震后变形进行了模拟,探索了GPS和GRACE观测的综合应用方法.研究发现,综合考虑震后余滑和黏滞性松弛效应可以对日本地震的震后变形做出较合理的解释,震后初期余滑起主要作用,1至2年以后逐渐减弱,黏滞性松弛作用逐渐增强.在震后变形模拟和区域黏滞性结构反演中形成GPS和GRACE观测结合应用的方法,先基于震后GPS形变估算区域黏滞性结构,而后利用GRACE观测修正深部的黏滞系数,并综合利用这两种观测微调浅层黏滞系数,最终确定区域黏滞性结构.基于该方法反演了日本震源区的地幔黏滞性结构,地震断层破裂两侧的流变参数存在差异,大陆侧的地幔顶层黏滞系数在1.0×10¹⁹ Pa·s量级,而海洋侧的则略小于大陆的,在6.0×10¹⁸ Pa·s量级.     

岩石圈结构对大地震震后形变的影响——以1976年唐山大地震和2001年昆仑山大地震为例

大地震发生之后通常会诱发一系列的余震序列,对比1976年M_S7.8唐山大地震和2001年M_S8.1昆仑山大地震周边区域的地震事件可以看出,唐山大地震余震活动时间要明显长于昆仑山大地震余震活动时间.余震序列往往与震后形变密切相关,而影响震后形变的因素不仅与地震发震断层和震级有关,同时与岩石圈的结构有关.考虑到唐山大地震的发震区华北地块和昆仑山大地震的发震区青藏高原有着较大的岩石圈结构差异,本文采用PSGRN/PSCMP软件计算了岩石圈分层模型的大地震同震和震后形变,分析了地壳弹性模量、弹性厚度以及黏滞性系数对同震和震后形变的影响,进而讨论了影响唐山地震和昆仑山地震余震序列差异的原因.计算结果显示,震后形变会在黏弹性效应的作用下逐渐调整,震后形变的持续时间与地壳弹性模量、地壳弹性厚度和下地壳黏滞性系数有关.上地壳和下地壳弹性模量越大,震后形变达到稳定值的时间越短,弹性模量对震后形变稳定值影响很小.地壳弹性厚度越大,震后形变达到稳定值的时间越短,当断层面底端深度小于地壳弹性厚度时,地壳弹性厚度的增加会引起震后形变稳定值的减小;下地壳厚度对震后形变达到稳定值的时间和稳定值基本无影响.下地壳黏滞性系数越大,震后形变达到稳定值的时间越长,反之亦然.结合唐山地震区的华北地块和昆仑山地震的青藏高原深部结构发现,两者之间的上地壳弹性模型差别不大,唐山地震区地壳弹性厚度略大于昆仑山地震区,但昆仑山地震区下地壳黏滞性系数明显低于唐山地震区.这些因素均决定了昆仑山地震的震后形变持续时间短（余震时间序列短）而唐山地震的震后形变持续时间长（余震时间序列长）.由此可见,岩石圈结构差异可能是导致唐山地震和昆仑山地震余震序列差异的主要因素之一.

从震后形变探讨青藏高原下地壳黏滞系数

青藏高原下地壳黏滞系数究竟是多少,已成为深入定量研究中的突出问题,它的数值量级将极大地影响定量模拟的结果．为了获得青藏高原下地壳的黏滞系数,从3条途径对该参数进行了计算：一是基于对青藏高原深部温度状态改进了的估计,用流变定律和GPS求得的应变速率对高原北部下地壳黏滞系数重新进行了估算,获得的昆仑山地区中地壳等效黏滞系数为10^20～10^22Pa．S量级,下地壳等效黏滞系数在10^19～10^21 Pa．s之间．二是用3种流变模型对2001年昆仑山Ms8．1级地震震后跨断层GPS站点记录到的震后变形进行了模拟,得到的下地壳黏滞系数为10^17 Pa．s量级．三是用黏弹性模型对炉霍地震后的跨断层形变曲线进行了拟合,得到的下地壳黏滞系数为10伸Pa．s量级．前人研究等效黏滞系数时忽视了等效黏滞系数与应变速率存在的非线性关系,本研究结果协调地解释了实验室实验、大地震后较短时期的变形和大地震后较长时间变形下,其等效黏滞系数存在差异的问题．     

基于2001年MW7.8可可西里地震震后形变模拟研究藏北地区岩石圈流变学结构

青藏高原岩石圈的流变学结构和形变机制是地学界长期争论的重大科学问题.2001年发生在东昆仑断裂带的M_W7.8可可西里地震造成青藏高原北部地区岩石圈构造应力场的很大改变,引起下地壳与上地幔的快速弛豫形变,从而为研究这一问题提供了难得的机会.本研究采用该区域的GPS震后观测,反演这一地区岩石圈的流变学参数并探讨其形变机制.反演所采用的数据来自45个GPS观测点,其中包括一个中国地壳运动观测网络的基准站,数据最长时间跨度达6.4年.大地震震后形变场主要来源于地壳、上地幔的黏弹性松弛与断层面上的震后余滑,因此本研究同时反演介质的黏滞系数和断层的震后余滑.考虑到东昆仑断层南侧的巴颜喀拉-羌塘地区与北侧的柴达木盆地地区具有明显不同的地壳结构,断层南北两侧采用不同的Burgers体流变学结构,其下地壳-上地幔的短期和长期黏滞系数采用网格搜索法获得;断层震后余滑反演则同时施加近似正比于库仑应力的约束.最终结果显示：东昆仑断层北侧柴达木盆地地区下地壳-上地幔短期和长期黏滞系数分别为5×10¹⁸ Pa·s和1.5×10²⁰ Pa·s;东昆仑断层南侧巴颜喀拉-羌塘地区下地壳-上地幔短期和长期黏滞系数分别为1.5×10¹⁸ Pa·s和1.5×10¹⁹ Pa·s.这一结果表明：巴颜喀拉-羌塘地区下地壳-上地幔黏滞系数显著低于柴达木盆地,意味着巴颜喀拉-羌塘地区下地壳可能存在部分熔融,其地壳形变模式更趋近于连续形变,而柴达木盆地形变模式更趋近于块体运动.研究区下地壳长期黏滞系数比下地壳流模型所主张的黏滞系数高2~3个数量级,表明下地壳流在本地区可能不存在.     

1990年青海共和7.0级地震震后垂直形变研究

根据1990年青海共和地震震后地表垂直形变,通过模型拟合得到了支配共和地区震后形变场时空演化的形变源及其力学机制.分析穿过断层的震前1期和震后6期水准数据,结果表明震后垂直形变具有以下特征:①震后震区上盘继续发生继承性的大幅度上升,其中震后头一年上升速率最大;②震后上升区范围显著,范围随时间变化不大,但较同震形变上升区范围增大;③震后相邻测站高差观测值的时间序列明显具有对数衰减特征或指数衰减特征,衰减特征时间分别为0.165年和1.344年.本文还发展了一个利用水准数据与连续介质位错模型研究震后形变机制的新方法.该方法用相邻水准点之间的原始高差观测值而非它们相对参照点的积分值来约束连续介质位错模型,可以有效减少误差累积带来的偏差并充分利用观测数据.利用这一方法的初步分析结果表明,断层震后滑移和介质黏弹性松弛共同导致了共和地震震后形变.前者表现为发生在断层面及其延伸部分的滑移,特别是位于主破裂上方沉积层内的滑移;后者则表现为下地壳与上地幔内的黏弹性松弛,黏滞系数为1020Pa.s量级.     

盲逆断层震后变形耦合机制研究——以2017年伊朗MW7.3地震为例

2001年MW7.8昆仑山地震震后形变观测、机制与青藏高原中北部岩石圈流变:认识与挑战

2001年M_W7.8昆仑山地震是近半个世纪以来青藏高原发生的最大震级地震。同震破裂产生的巨大应力扰动驱动控制着显著震后形变。二十年尺度的大地测量数据记录了地震后长时间、大范围、时空依赖的震后形变演化过程及差异,揭示了昆仑山地震破裂段复杂的断层分段震后运动学特征、分段摩擦性质差异和青藏高原中北部岩石圈流变性质/结构横向各向异性。本文简要回顾昆仑山地震后基于二十年尺度时序InSAR和GPS的震后形变观测方法和时空特征,特别是时空密集的InSAR观测,是该构造区震后GPS观测的重要补充及其不可替代的观测手段;总结大范围震后形变模拟方法及其揭示的震后运动过程、多种动力学机制及其关系。最后总结提出昆仑山地震震后形变20年研究取得的科学认识及尚待深入研究的科学问题,一方面要持续性地对东昆仑断裂带大范围地表形变进行观测研究;另一方面,要不断更新震后形变模型,进一步深化对该断裂带地震周期形变、区域构造对周期形变控制作用、复杂断层运动时空演化机制的认识。      

Dynamic mechanisms of the post-seismic deformation following large events: Case study of the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan of China

The mechanism of postseismic deformation related to strong earthquakes is important in geodynamics, and presumably afterslip or viscoelastic relaxation is responsible for the postsesimic deformation. The 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan of China, earthquake occurred in the region where GPS observation station is most densely deployed in the world. The unprecedented GPS data provides a unique opportunity to study the physical processes of postseismic deformation. Here we assume that the interactions of viscoelastic relaxation, afterslip, fault zone collapse, poroelastic rebound, flow of underground fluids, and all these combined contribute to the surface displacements following the main shock. In order to know the essence of the postseismic deformation after the strong event, fault zone collapse, poroelastic rebound, flow of underground fluids, and so on, are represented equivalently by the variations of the focal medium properties. Therefore, the viscoelastic relaxation, afterslip, and the variations of the equivalent focal medium properties are inverted by applying the GPS temporal series measurement data with viscoelastic finite element method. Both the afterslip rate distribution along the fault and the afterslip evolution with time are obtained by means of inversion. Also, the preliminary result suggests that viscosities of the lower crust and the upper mantle in Taiwan region is 2.7×10¹⁸ and 4.2×10²⁰ Pa·s, respectively. Moreover, the inversion results indicate that the afterslip contributing to postseismic deformation of 44.6% in 450 days after the Chi-Chi earthquake, with 34.7% caused by the viscous relaxation and 20.7% by other factors such as fault zone collapse, poroelastic rebound, and the flow of liquids.     

Modeling transient and long-term postseismic deformation: A case study of 1995 M W9.5 Chile earthquake

In this paper, we firstly use finite element method (FEM) with Burgers model to simulate the postseismic viscoe-lastic relaxation taking 1960 Chile earthquake as an example. The postseismic deformation modeled with Burgers model includes co-seismic deformation, transient postseismic deformation and long-term postseismic deformation. So if we apply Burgers model to calculate postseismic deformation of 1960 Chile earthquake, there is no discrep-ancy phenomenon due to different durations of postseismic deformations that happens in Maxwell model.     

Studying the viscosity of lower crust of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau according to post-seismic deformation

The viscosity of lower crust of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on earth should be determined. It has become a predominant problem in quantitative research on geodynamics. Its order of magnitude will have a great influence on the results of quantitative modeling. To obtain the viscosity of lower crust of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this parameter was calculated by three methods. The first is based on the estimation on the temperature state of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the deep part, and the viscosity of lower crust of northern Plateau was recomputed with strain rate derived from rheology law and GPS observation. Effective viscosity of middle crust in Kunlun region is between 10²⁰ and 10²² Pa·s, and that of lower crust is between 10¹⁹ and 10²¹ Pa·s; the second is based on three kinds of rheological models used to fit the post-seismic deformation recorded by cross-over fault GPS sites set after M _s8.1 Kunlun earthquake in 2001. The viscosity of lower crust obtained by this method is of 10¹⁷ Pa·s order of magnitude. However, higher viscosity is required to fit the data of south fault better, and the lower one is required to fit the data of north fault better. The viscosity of lower crust, which was obtained by fitting the cross-over fault post-seismic deformation after M _s7.6 Luhuo earthquake in 1973, is of 10¹⁹ Pa·s order of magnitude. Non-linear relationship between effective viscosity and strain rate is ignored in the former research of effective viscosity. This research shows the difference of effective viscosity obtained from laboratory experiment, and shorter and longer time post-seismic deformation after large earthquakes can be explained in phase.

Recent crustal deformation and the earthquake cycle along the Ecuador-Colombia subduction zone

Recent results from Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements show deformation along the coast of Ecuador and Colombia that can be linked to the rupture zone of the earthquake in 1979. A 3D elastic boundary element model is used to simulate crustal deformation observed by GPS campaigns in 1991, 1994, 1996, and 1998. Deformation in Ecuador can be explained best by 50% apparent locking on the subduction interface. Although there have not been any historic large earthquakes (M_w>7) south of the 1906 earthquake rupture zone, 50% apparent elastic locking is necessary to model the deformation observed there. In Colombia, only 30% apparent elastic locking is occurring along the subduction interface in the 1979 earthquake rupture zone (M_w 8.2), and no elastic locking is necessary to explain the crustal deformation observed at two GPS sites north of there. There is no evidence from seismicity or plate geometry that plate coupling on the subduction zone is reduced in Colombia. However, simple viscoelastic models suggest that the apparent reduction in elastic locking can be explained entirely by the response of a viscous upper mantle to the 1979 earthquake. These results suggest that elastic strain accumulation is occurring evenly throughout the study area, but postseismic relaxation masks the true total strain rate.     

Mechanisms of Transient Postseismic Deformation Following the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun (China) Earthquake

Using global positioning system (GPS) technology, significant postseismic surface displacements were observed within the first 4 months after the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kunlun earthquake which occurred in China. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms that may have possibly contributed to the postseismic deformations that have been observed. Based on the modeling results, we find that an afterslip model can interpret postseismic displacements in the near field even when the fault plane is extended to the bottom of the crust (~70 km). Models based on the viscoelastic relaxation theory showed a large discrepancy in the spatial pattern of the deformation compared with what has been observed. Thus, we infer that both mechanisms cannot interpret the observed postseismic deformation independently. A combination of afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation can further improve the data fit, especially at sites far from the fault. With maximum afterslip of ~0.4 m occurring at a depth of 10 km in the central section, the combined model shows that the estimated afterslip occurred mostly on and below the coseismic rupture plane, as well as on its eastern extension. The estimated moment released by the afterslip in the first 4 months is almost 40% of that released by the coseismic slip. The best-fitting viscoelastic relaxation model shows a “weak” upper mantle with a viscosity of ~1.0 × 10¹⁸ Pa s. The combined model also suggests the existence of a lower crust with viscosity larger than 1.0 × 10¹⁸ Pa s, although it cannot be constrained accurately.     

1999年台湾集集地震震后地表变形的力学机制

1999年台湾集集地震震后450天的GPS观测资料显示了几十到几百毫米的地表位移.下地壳的震后黏性松弛和断层无震蠕变产生的震后滑动是用来解释地表震后变形的两个主要机制.本文利用接触问题的黏弹性有限元(LDDA)方法,以GPS观测数据作为约束,分别考察了黏性松弛和震后滑动机制对地表震后变形的影响.计算结果表明,黏性松弛机制产生的地表位移与观测数据吻合较好,通过试错法由震后GPS观测约束得到的下地壳黏度为10¹⁷Pa·s,而上地幔黏度对计算结果影响不大.考察震后滑动机制对地表变形的影响时,在LDDA方法中结合了速率状态摩擦定律,结果显示震后滑动机制不能很好地解释震后450天的观测数据,它产生的地表变形只在震后50天内与观测大致吻合,之后位移值基本不随时间变化.这些结果有助于增进对集集地震震后变形机制的认识.

Rapid afterslip and short-term viscoelastic relaxation following the 2008 M_W7.9 Wenchuan earthquake

Significant postseismic deformation of the 2008 M W 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake has been observed from GPS data of the first 14 days after the earthquake. The possible mechanisms for the rapid postseismic deformation are assumed to be afterslip on the earthquake rupture plane and viscoelastic relaxation of coseismiclly stress change in the lower crust or upper mantle. We firstly use the constrained least squares method to find an afterslip model which can fit the GPS data best. The afterslip model can explain n...
