青藏高原东北缘六盘山—鄂尔多斯盆地深地震测深剖面沿近东—西向布设长约420km,跨越鄂尔多斯盆地、六盘山和秦祁地块。本文根据沿测线爆破地震的6炮记录截面图中,6个震相的到时资料,结合地震记录中的振幅信息,确定了沿剖面的二维纵波地壳速度结构。鄂尔多斯盆地的地壳平均速度为6.38~6.40km/s,地壳厚度为41.7~48.2km。六盘山地区的地壳平均速度最高为6.40~6.42km/s,地壳厚度最大为53~54km。六盘山以西秦祁地块的地壳平均速度最低为6.32~6.40km/s,地壳厚度为50.3~53km。整个莫霍面形态东浅西深,明显向西倾斜。鄂尔多斯盆地东侧的莫霍面深度最浅为41.7km,六盘山下方莫霍面的深度最深为54km。莫霍面首波Pn在220km之后出现,速度为7.8~8.1km/s。最后讨论了本区的深部特征和盆山结构关系。

       由1876个远震三分量P波地震图组成的数据集,取自布置于鄂尔多斯-太行山一线的宽频带流动台站。通过阵列反 卷积方法,得到地下界面响应的接收函数,并通过共转换点偏移叠加得到地下结构的图像。图像显示,从鄂尔多斯至渤海 湾盆地地壳厚度总体上逐渐变薄,Moho面总体呈小角度向西倾斜。鄂尔多斯块体中部地壳最厚,达到52 km,向东到鄂尔多 斯边缘,地壳厚度减小至43 km。太行山至渤海湾盆地地壳厚度从45 km减小至37 km。山西地堑下方Moho面上隆,和两边的 Moho面相比,抬升8~10 km,且其Moho面的上隆和新生代地堑的凹陷呈镜像关系。     

藏北羌塘盆地中部地壳低速层分布与动力学意义

为了调查羌塘盆地中部壳内低速层分布特征,对布设在羌塘盆地的TITAN-I宽频带地震台站所记录的远震波形数据进行接收函数分析,并引入时频域相位滤波技术改善接收函数信噪比,反演得到各台站下方100 km深度范围内的一维S波速度结构.结果表明,时频域相位滤波方法能够显著提高信噪比;羌塘盆地Moho深度为58±6 km,具有较高的泊松比值;中下地壳壳内低速层广泛分布,横向不连续,埋深在20~30 km,层厚6~12 km,剪切波速度为3.4±0.1 km/s;部分地区在埋深为10 km的中上地壳存在一层厚约4 km的低速薄层.羌塘盆地中下地壳壳内低速层是由于上涌的深部软流圈物质与下地壳发生大范围的接触,造成壳内及上地幔部分熔融引起的.     

利用接收函数研究重庆及周边地区地壳结构

利用中国地震台网33个台站记录的远震资料,采用接收函数扫描法和线性反演方法,对重庆及其邻区的壳幔速度结构进行了研究,获得了研究区内地壳厚度、Vp/Vs以及壳幔速度的分布特征。研究结果表明:重庆区域地壳厚度最厚为CHK台站,为50.4km;最薄为ROC台站,为38.5km;中部地区厚度为41～45km。在所设定测线A—A'上,莫霍面有一定起伏,四川盆地处浅层速度偏低,在WUL台处发现台站下方8～10km处有低速异常,推断这个很薄的低速区很可能是导致川东薄皮褶皱构造的滑脱面。     

福建地区地壳上地幔S波速度结构与泊松比

        利用在福建地区布置的 12 个宽频带数字地震流动台站和 8 个固定台站记录的远震 P 波波形数据进行接收函数计算, 运用H-k 搜索叠加方法得到了研究区的平均地壳厚度H 与波速比k（=VP/VS）,并运用接收函数反演方法得到了 0~80 km 范 围内的地壳和上地幔 S 波速度结构。H-k 叠加结果表明,福建地区地壳厚度在 28.4~32.8 km 范围内,从内陆到沿海变薄, 从南到北变厚;沿着 NW-SE 方向,泊松比分布有分带特征,沿海地区泊松比高于内陆地区;同时表明,该地区地壳可分 为上、中、下地壳,地壳结构横向差异较明显,多个台站下方可发现壳内低速层,沿海地区上地幔顶部平均速度相对低, 可能暗示了深部存在热异常区域。     

海南岛高精度航磁特征与居里等温面深度分析

海南岛高精度航磁数据分析及其居里等温面反演,对于探究海南岛及其相邻的南海大陆边缘的深部热结构具有重要研究意义。本文通过对海南岛航磁异常数据的化极和上延处理,分析了岛内不同构造单元的磁异常特征及其空间展布。并在此基础上,利用功率谱法,反演计算出岛内区域居里等温面的深度分布,结合海南岛区域地质演化、大地热流值、莫霍面与岩石圈深度以及地震测深剖面等资料,获得了如下认识：① 海南岛航磁异常带主要呈现近东西向与北东向展布,近东西向磁异常带被北东向异常错断和干扰,揭示了近东西向构造带要明显早于北东向构造带。② 海南岛居里等温面深度变化于16 ~ 34 km 之间,平均深度为24 km,其中,琼北新生代火山- 沉积盆地居里等温面深度明显偏深,大致相当于本区莫霍面深度,最深可达35 km,相对应的大地热流值偏低。③ 琼中- 万宁与东方- 昌江褶皱造山区的居里等温面深度明显偏浅,最浅仅为16 km,明显低于本区莫霍面深度,对应较高的大地热流值。④ 综合本文与前人研究结果表明,海南岛岩石圈厚度为55 ~ 90 km,为典型的去根减薄的岩石圈,莫霍面的温度为600 ~ 900 ℃,局部异常高的莫霍面温度,可能与本区软流圈地幔置换古老岩石圈地幔提供了热量有关。     

深反射大炮数据揭示北秦岭-渭河地堑-鄂尔多斯南部Moho格架

根据深地震反射数据的反射特征对布置在北秦岭-渭河地堑-鄂尔多斯南部的10个大炮(药量 ≥ 500 kg)数据进行处理,获得了反映下地壳-莫霍面结构的单次覆盖剖面。初步解释结果显示:在北秦岭,莫霍面反射的双程走时约为13 s,自南向北缓慢抬升变浅,可能表示秦岭正在经历造山后的均衡演化过程;进入渭河地堑,莫霍面加深至15 s左右,可能表明新生代形成后的莫霍面受到了强烈的挤压作用,渭河地堑两侧的莫霍面呈不对称上隆;在鄂尔多斯地块南部,莫霍面反射为14 s左右,向北有逐渐抬升的趋势,但变化平缓, 130~140 km两侧的莫霍面具有显著的反射特征差异,可能代表了渭河地堑和鄂尔多斯地块南部的深部界限。     

青藏高原东北缘岩石圈-软流圈边界成像

青藏高原东北缘是研究高原隆升和演化的理想场所,其岩石圈结构记录了高原向外扩展的岩石圈变形行为和演化过程,本研究利用一条跨青藏高原东北缘的宽频带观测剖面(红原-景泰剖面)和部分甘肃、青海区域台网的远震体波波形资料,通过S波接收函数方法获得了青藏高原东北缘的岩石圈-软流圈边界(LAB)图像。结果表明:1)松潘-甘孜地体东北部和西秦岭造山带下方的岩石圈较薄,略向北加厚,其LAB深度为110~130 km,昆仑断层下方无明显岩石圈错断,推测松潘-甘孜地块与西秦岭造山带的岩石圈可能具有亲缘性; 2)祁连地块下方的岩石圈厚度为135~150 km,其中祁连造山带东缘的LAB震相不聚焦,反映复杂的造山带型岩石圈属性; 3)阿拉善地块下方岩石圈略向南加厚, LAB深度为130~150 km,呈向祁连造山带下方汇聚的趋势,但尚未通过海原断裂带; 4)鄂尔多斯地块下方的岩石圈较厚, LAB深度为160~170 km,反映其稳定的克拉通型岩石圈属性。

Structure of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath southern Finland revealed by analysis of local events registered by the SVEKALAPKO seismic array

In 1998–1999, a large-scale seismic array was deployed in Finland as a part of the EUROPROBE/SVEKALAPKO subproject, involving 14 European universities and research institutes. The objective of the project was to map the deep lithosphere structure and thickness beneath the Fennoscandian Shield by means of teleseismic events. In addition, about 580 local seismic events were registered during the data acquisition period. Among them, only eight local earthquakes were recorded, the rest being quarry blasts from mining sites in Russia, Finland, Estonia and Sweden. In this study, we present the analysis of the seismic wave field from the strongest local events registered by the majority of the stations of the SVEcofennian–KArelian–LAPland–KOla Transect (SVEKALAPKO) array with the aim of mapping the structure of the upper mantle beneath the array. For this purpose, we selected the events corresponding to a single source type and compared these recordings with those from wide-angle reflection and refraction experiments in the area to identify the regional phases. The record sections of selected events demonstrate strong reflections (PmP) from the Moho boundary. The refracted Pn phases can be seen as first arrivals at distances of about 200–400 km from the source. At offsets of about 400–800 km, phases reflected from inhomogeneities in the uppermost mantle (P1) and double reflections from the Moho boundary (PmPPmP) were recorded.Results from 2D forward ray trace modeling of reflected and refracted P-waves along four profile swathes from SVEKALAPKO stations demonstrate that the mantle reflections originate from two different groups of boundaries beneath the array: one group of phases arrive from subhorizontal and gently dipping reflectors below the Moho boundary at a depth of 70–90 km, while the other group are phases originating from a depth of 100 to 130 km. Based on the irregular character of the first group of reflections, their different spatial orientation and correlation with the Moho offsets, we interpret the boundaries of this group as relicts of ancient subduction and collision processes. The second group of reflections can be explained by a transition from mechanically strong to mechanically weak lithosphere.     

Crustal structure of the Gujarat region,India: New constraints from the analysis of teleseismic receiver functions

In this study, receiver function analysis is carried out at 32 broadband stations spread all over the Gujarat region, located in the western part of India to image the sedimentary structure and investigate the crustal composition for the entire region. The powerful Genetic Algorithm technique is applied to the receiver functions to derive S-velocity structure beneath each site. A detail image in terms of basement depths and Moho thickness for the entire Gujarat region is obtained for the first time. Gujarat comprises of three distinct regions: Kachchh, Saurashtra and Mainland. In Kachchh region, depth of the basement varies from around 1.5 km in the eastern part to 6 km in the western part and around 2–3 km in the northern part to 4–5 km in the southern part. In the Saurashtra region, there is not much variation in the depth of the basement and is between 3 km and 4 km. In Gujarat mainland part, the basement depth is 5–8 km in the Cambay basin and western edge of Narmada basin. In other parts of the mainland, it is 3–4 km. The depth of Moho beneath each site is obtained using stacking algorithm approach. The Moho is at shallower depth (26–30 km) in the western part of Kachchh region. In the eastern part and epicentral zone of the 2001 Bhuj earthquake, large variation in the Moho depths is noticed (36–46 km). In the Saurashtra region, the crust is more thick in the northern part. It varies from 36–38 km in the southern part to 42–44 km in the northern part. In the mainland region, the crust is more thick (40–44 km) in the northern and southern part and is shallow in Cambay and Narmada basins (32–36 km). The large variations of Poisson’s ratio across Gujarat region may be interpreted as heterogeneity in crustal composition. High values of σ (∼0.30) at many sites in Kachchh and few sites in Saurashtra and Mainland regions may be related to the existence of high-velocity lower crust with a mafic/ultramafic composition and, locally, to the presence of partial melt. The existing tectono-sedimentary models proposed by various researchers were also examined.     

Geophysical studies of crustal structure of the Ongul Islands and the Northern Mizuho Plateau, East Antarctica

Explosion seismic experiments, gravity measurements and aeromagnetic surveys were made in the northern Mizuho Plateau including the Ongul Islands, East Antarctica, from 1979 to 1982 by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expeditions. The objective of these field operations was to determine the crustal structure along the 300 km-long oversnow traverse route between Syowa and Mizuho Stations. Three big shots were fired; at sea near Syowa Station, in an ice hole near Mizuho Station and in an ice hole between both stations. Twenty-seven temporal seismic stations were set up along the route. Gravity measurements were carried out at 30 points along this route. Aeromagnetic surveys over the area were made four times.In the seismic experiments, clear refracted waves from the Conrad (estimated depth 30 km) and the Moho (estimated depth 40 km) discontinuities were recorded. No layer with a velocity of less than 6 km/s was found in the Ongul Islands nor beneath the ice sheet in the surveyed area. The P-wave velocity in the upper layer varies with depth from 6.0 km/s on the surface to 6.4 km/s at a depth of 13 km. Comparing the observed record section with synthetic seismograms, it was derived that the Conrad was not associated with a sharp velocity discontinuity, but a linear velocity increase of 0.55 km/s in a transition zone of 2.4 km thick. Velocities of P^* and P_n were determined as 6.95 km/s and 7.93 km/s assuming a flat layered structure.Bouguer gravity anomalies could not be calculated along the whole profile because of a lack of data on bedrock topography, so reduced gravity anomalies were calculated. These anomalies indicate no abrupt changes of the bedrock topography.     

P-wave velocity features of the lithosphere under the Eromanga Basin, Eastern Australia, including a prominent MID-crustal (Conrad?) discontinuity

The crustal structure of the central Eromanga Basin in the northern part of the Australian Tasman Geosyncline, revealed by coincident seismic reflection and refraction shooting, contrasts with some neighbouring regions of the continent. The depth to the crust-mantle boundary (Moho) of 36–41 km is much less than that under the North Australian Craton to the northwest (50–55 km) and the Lachlan Fold Belt to the southeast (43–51 km) but is similar to that under the Drummond and Bowen Basins to the east.The seismic velocity boundaries within the crust are sharp compared with the transitional nature of the boundaries under the North Australian and Lachlan provinces. In particular, there is a sharp velocity increase at mid-crustal depths (21–24 km) which has not been observed with such clarity elsewhere in Australia (the Conrad discontinuity?).In the lower crust, the many discontinuous sub-horizontal reflections are in marked contrast to lack of reflecting horizons in the upper crust, further emphasising the differences between the upper and lower crust. The crust-mantle boundary (Moho) is characterised by an increase in velocity from 7.1–7.7 km/s to a value of 8.15 + 0.04 km/s. The depth to the Moho under the Canaway Ridge, a prominent basement high, is shallower by about 5 km than the regional Moho depth; there is also no mid-crustal horizon under the Canaway Ridge but there is a very sharp velocity increase at the Moho depth of 34 km. The Ridge could be interpreted as a horst structure extending to at least Moho depths but it could also have a different intra-crustal structure from the surrounding area.The sub-crustal lithosphere has features which have been interpreted, from limited data, as being caused by a velocity gradient at 56–57 km depth with a low velocity zone above it.Because of the contrasting crustal thicknesses and velocity gradients, the lithosphere of the central Eromanga Basin cannot be considered as an extension of the exposed Lachlan Fold Belt or the North Australian Craton. The lack of seismic reflections from the upper crust indicates no coherent accoustic impedance pattern at wavelengths greater than 100 m, consistent with an upper crustal basement of tightly folded meta-sedimentary and meta-volcanic rocks. The crustal structure is consistent with a pericratonic or arc/back-arc basin being cratonised in an episode of convergent tectonics in the Early Palaeozoic. The seismic reflections from the lower crust indicate that it could have developed in a different tectonic environment.     

深地震探测揭示的华南地区莫霍面深度

从20世纪70年代以来, 在华南地区进行了大量的深地震探测研究。本文通过对华南地区的深地震探测研究的总结和梳理, 探讨了华南大陆及其邻近海域的莫霍面变化情况, 结果表明: 华南大陆莫霍面形态变化较大, 总体变化趋势是由西部向东部呈逐渐抬升; 华南大陆最深的莫霍面出现在攀西地区北缘, 最浅的莫霍面出现在衢州盆地, 两者差35 km; 华南地区周缘断裂均存在莫霍面错断; 华南加里东造山带莫霍面深度浅于台湾造山带; 东海边缘海与南海北缘地壳厚度明显不同。这些特征可能指示了不同区域所经历的岩石圈及地壳演化过程不同, 其中攀西地区的莫霍面较厚可能同青藏高原物质东流有关, 华南造山带的地壳减薄缘于后期遭受的伸展作用, 东海及南海的莫霍面深度反映了两者处于不同的陆缘位置, 前者为活动大陆边缘, 后者为被动大陆边缘。     

鄂尔多斯块体新生代构造活动和动力学的讨论

鄂尔多斯块体除西南边界为挤压边界外,四周被共轭剪切拉张带所围限,东西和南北两侧分别为右旋和左旋剪切拉张带,全新世水平和垂直滑动速率分别达5mm/a和0.3~3mm/a。鄂尔多斯块体自始新世起从西南挤压边界两端开始发育,逐渐向远端发展,至上新世最后形成山西断陷盆地带。新生代以来块体不断缓慢上升,距今1.40Ma以来的隆起总量为160m.形变测量说明块体现代隆升速率为1~2.8mm/a,周缘断陷盆地带现代下降速率为-4~-5mm/a。块体内部莫霍面变化平缓,埋深40km~42km,上地幔高导层埋深123km~131km,它们在周缘断陷盆地带相对隆起,前者隆起幅度1.5km~6km,后者埋深仅70km~100km.6级以上地震均发生在块体周边活动构造带内,块体内部无6级以上地震发生,4~5级地震也很少。震源机制、地应力和断层滑动矢量测量等得到的主压应力方位为NE-NEE向,与控制块体周边活动构造的区域应力场一致,主要与青藏块体的NE向挤压作用相关,盆地地下深部物质上涌产生的垂直力也起着重要作用。所以,区域性水平应力场和深部物质运动产生的垂直力联合作用是本区新构造活动的动力条件。
