DEEP STRUCTURE BENEATH THE 1631 CHANGDE,HUNAN M6 EARTHQUAKE AREA DERIVED FROM MAGNETOTELLURIC SOUNDING

In 1631, an earthquake of M_S6 3/4 occurred in the Taiyangshan uplift about 10km north of Changde City, Hunan Province, which is the largest destructive temblor documented in history of South China. With the economic and social development of Changde City and the expansion of the urban, it is necessary to conduct assessment of seismic hazard, including probing the deep structure beneath the region around this historical event. To this end, three magnetotelluric(MT) profiles have been carried out across the Taiyangshan area with 76 sites in 2014. Remote reference, "robust", and phase tensor decomposition techniques were used to process the acquired MT data, and the NLCG two-dimensional inversion was made to image the deep electrical structure in combination with relevant geological and geophysical data available. The images of 3 MT profiles permit to delineate the deep extension of major faults and the deep structural features of the tectonic units in the study area. The largest fault, the Xiaowupu fault shows a steep southwest-dipping with extension of tens of kilometers from the surface to the subsurface. The Shichaipo Fault presents a low-resistivity body around a depth of about 5km. The Huanxian and Dongting Lake Basins show a low-resistivity characteristic from the ground to a depth more than 10km, good-electricity layering, meaning tectonic stability, and corresponding to extensive Cretaceous and Cenozoic strata. The electrical structure of Taiyangshan uplift overall presents a high-resistivity characteristic from the surface to a depth of about 20km, which is the widest in the central Taiyang Mountains. The deep electrical structure of 3 profiles together reveal that the contact between the Dongting Lake Basin and Taiyang Mountains is obviously segmented in NS direction. It is inferred that the Xiaowupu fault is probably the causative feature of the 1631 Changde M_S6 3/4 earthquake. The deep electrical structure nearby the epicenter appears to be complex with alternating high and low resistivity, and the epicenter is located in the high resistivity zone. The low-resistance decoupling in proximity of the fault is likely responsible for the earthquake generation. The Taiyangshan uplift resides in the southwest corner of the Jianghan-Dongtinghu Basin, where differential up and down activity during Quaternary was most intense resulting in big landform contrast, forming the tectonic setting of medium-sized earthquakes in this region.

以垂直形变资料反演腾冲火山区岩浆活动性的初步研究

根据腾冲火山区67个精密水准测点的4期实测垂直形变资料,和对该火山区已有的地质和地球物理工作的分析,参考了由层析成像推测的腾冲火山岩浆系统动力模型,利用Mogi模型对岩浆房的大小和空间位置进行了最小二乘法反演的初步研究。对4期资料分别进行了形变差的反演计算,所得初步结果表明岩浆活动源比较分散,可能存在3个表示岩浆流入引起地面上升的上升源,和2个表示岩浆流出到断层中引起地面下降的下降源。上升源位置大致沿北东走向的断层分布。而下降源位置则在测区东南一侧,等效岩浆源的深度在6～4km之间,与小震震源的深度大致相符。4年来岩浆活动量约为10^6m^3,量级与国外已喷发的火山相比处于较低活动水平．     

福建地区地震活动空间分布及活动断裂特点研究

分析了1604年发生在泉州海外的8级大地震, 将所获结果结合其后400年间发生在该地区的地震活动作进一步的探讨。 在获取对该大地震的认识的基础上, 结合现代地震观测数据资料, 对福建地区的地震活动性进行再研究。 结果表明, 由于菲律宾板块向西挤压, 导致大陆东南沿海的应力积累, 从而诱发了当年泉州海外8级特大地震; 重要的是, 在震源区附近有一条近NE向活动断裂贯穿而过, 它在这400年间释放出的地震活动能量占福建地区(含近邻)所释放地震活动能量的绝大部分。 分析结果认为: 牛山岛-兄弟屿断裂这条基本平行于长乐-诏安主干断裂东约50 km海中的断裂才是福建地区近几百年来地震活动主要区域, 也是福建地区现今和今后一段时间易发生地震的构造部位, 是控制东南沿海近海地震带的主要活动断裂。

Application of Acoustic Technique to Surveying a Buried Fault in Tianjin

We carried out surveying on the shallow structure and faulted-stratum of the Haihe fault in Tianjin using acoustic surveying methods such as the single-channel seismic technique. The result shows that the method can obtain satisfactory results in wide and deep river courses. It also shows that in the Tanggu area of Tianjin, the upper fault point of Haihe fault is about 30m beneath the river bed and the corresponding latest active period is Qp^3- Qh^1 , which is consistent with the former borehole survey result. In the offshore area of the Bohai Sea, Haihe fault shows as a NWW-NEE strike dense fault zone and its upper fault point is less than 30m beneath the seabed. It shows that the active characteristics of Haihe fault in the Bohai Sea correspond to the Tanggu area.

L波段InSAR数据观测的北京及其周边2007—2010年间累计地壳形变基本特征

地壳形变是评估地震灾害和地质灾害的重要依据之一。 北京及其周边地区的形变状况一直以来缺乏全面、 可靠的观测数据, 阻碍了对该地区这两种灾害的客观认识。 本研究利用L波段InSAR形变观测数据, 调查北京及其周边190 km×150 km范围内, 约3年时间内的累积地壳形变, 详细给出北京地区2007—2010年间的地壳形变基本特征, 为认识该地区的灾害提供参考。 研究结果显示, 该地区主要地壳形变源为地下水开采造成的地面沉降, 观测时间内累积的最大雷达视线向形变达到了37.6 cm。 地面沉降的严重影响, 以及大气噪声的干扰, 造成活动构造变形很难从现有数据定量分辨出来, 但可以确定在此观测期间内较大尺度(长度>50~100 km)的断层活动及其构造变形比较微弱, 对北京地区的地壳形变贡献较小。 最重要的一点是, 北京地区的地壳形变呈条块状分布, 清晰显示地面沉降与活动构造, 特别是NW走向的南口—孙河断层, 存在较强的相关性。     

Observation and analysis of low-frequency crustal earthquakes in Lake Van and its vicinity,eastern Turkey

Lake Van is located in very intensely deformed tectonic settings in the eastern Turkey. The surrounding area of Lake Van has major tectonic structures; NE and NW trending active conjugate strike-slip faults, pull-apart basins along these faults, E-W trending active thrust faults, folds, compressional ramp basins, N-S trending folds, NE-SW aligned continental collision-related volcanoes and N-S trending tensional cracks functioned as magma conduits. Since the area is tectonically very active, the earthquake activity within the basin and the surrounding area of Lake Van is very high. In this study, we have analysed the records of VANB broadband station of Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute's network for the seismic events (2000–2004) that occurred in the basin and in the vicinity of Lake Van. Based on the spectral analysis of earthquake data, we have mainly observed three types of seismic events; hybrid event, long period event and tremor. We have suggested that the observed hybrid, long period and tremor type of seismic events that occurred in the study area are related to the upward moving materials and stress loading in the mid and lower crust based on the geophysical data.

Patterns and regularity of ring distribution of seismic activity before great earthquakes in China

A systematic study on “ring phenomena” frequently occurring before great earthquakes has made in this paper, which has analyzed the features of ring distributions before 16 great earthquakes and part of large earthquakes in China and its boundary areas, and discussed their features of generality, regularity and predictive meaning. The results have showed that moderate earthquakes or larger earthquakes distribute around the epicenter like a ring from decades to hundred years before the great earthquakes of magnitude more than 7, which is a general phenomenon of great earthquakes without an exception. The active ring generally occurs in the areas from hundreds to thousands of kilometers from the epicenter (according to the magnitude). The seismicity in the ring has three basic stages with different features. in the first stage, seismicity remains at low level and the earthquakes distribute scatteredly, while the source area of the future great earthquake remains quiet; in the second stage, the seismicity strengthens, whose frequency, intensity, concentrated degree, released rate of strain and ratio of distributed area etc. increase, while the quiet area decreases or disappears; in the third stage, the seismicity is weaker than in the former stage, and the quiet area appears again. The source area surrounded by the active ring might have three periods of activity (called as early-term, medium-term and late-term foreshocks activity). The length of the quiet area undergoes the process from large to small, then to large. Therefore, we can estimate the occurring place, magnitude and seismogenic stage of great earthquake according to the area, length and the seismicity in the active ring, which is valuable to make a long-term prediction of great earthquakes. At last, we had a preliminary discussion on the mechanism of active ring formation.     

SEISMOTECTONICS OF THE 8 AUGUST 2017 JIUZHAIGOU EARTHQUAKE AND THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL FAULT MODELS IN THE SEISMIC REGION

On 8 August 8 2017, an M_S7.0 earthquake occurred in Jiuzhaigou County, Sichuan Province. Field geological investigations did not find any co-seismic surface rupture in the epicenter area, implying that the seismogenic structure is likely a hidden active fault. Based on the results of the relocated aftershocks, the seismogenic fault was simulated and characterized using the SKUA-GOCAD software. The three-dimensional model of the seismogenic fault was preliminarily constructed, which shows that the main shock of the Jiuzhaigou M_S7.0 earthquake occurred at the sharp bending area of the fault surface, similar to the geometry of the active fault that generated several major earthquakes in the Songpan area during 1973-1976. Our study suggests that high seismicity of this area may be closely related to the inhomogeneous geometry of the fault surface. In this work, we collected the historical earthquakes of M ≥ 6.5, and analyzed the geometric and kinematic features of the active faults in the study area. A three-dimensional fault model for the 10 main active faults was constructed, and its limitation in fault modeling was discussed. It could provide evidence for analyzing the seismotectonics of historical earthquakes, exploring the relationships between earthquakes and active faults, and predicting major earthquakes in the future.     

川滇地区较长时间尺度的地震活动盛衰交替性

通过与更早地震资料的对比, 研究了鲜水河断裂带, 川滇地壳块体东带、 西带, 松潘、 龙门山断裂带以及整个川滇地区较长时间尺度的地震活动盛衰交替性。 结果表明, 川滇东带北段(鲜水河断裂带)、 松潘、 龙门山地震带及川滇西带中段和南段(主要是红河断裂带)的地震活动具有明显的几十到百年尺度的盛衰交替性。 而川滇东带中南段(安宁河-则木河-小江断裂带)与川滇西带北段(金沙江断裂带)在上述地震带的平静期里, 中强以上地震频次明显减少, 但有个别7级以上强震发生。 这样, 整个川滇地区地震活动的盛衰交替性呈现一种比较复杂的阶段性特征: 伴随频繁中强震的强震活跃期与突发强震活动期交替出现。 值得注意的是, 川滇地区从19世纪末开始的伴随频繁中强震的强震活跃期已超过百年, 目前出现长期平静, 应注意进入突发强震活动期的可能性。 根据川滇地区上一个突发强震活动期突发强震的空间分布, 推测未来的突发强震可能发生在南北向断裂带, 或其他方向断裂带与南北向断裂带的交汇部。 文中还对上述统计现象的机理作了简要讨论。
