塔尔湾断裂活动时代厘定及地貌陡坎成因分析

阿尔金断裂东段北侧发育了多条NW向断裂,塔尔湾断裂是其中规模最大的塔尔湾-登登山-池家刺窝断裂的西段。该断裂总体走向NW,长约10km,在卫星影像上为一笔直的线性陡坎,地貌上为高几十cm至5m的地形陡坎。陡坎倾向NE,组成陡坎的地层主要有早更新世砾岩和全新世风积砂土等。通过地形剖面测量得到,由全新世风积砂组成的地貌陡坎高5m左右,由早更新世砾岩组成的地貌陡坎高1m左右。垂直地貌陡坎开挖的探槽揭示出,塔尔湾断裂为SW倾的逆断层,表现为新近纪泥岩逆冲于早更新世砾岩之上,断距为0.5m左右。全新世风积砂及晚更新世戈壁砾石层覆盖于断层之上,没有被错断。断裂上盘为新近纪泥岩,富含地下水,因此植被较发育;由于植被的保护及固砂作用,风积砂不断堆积并保存下来,风积沙层逐渐增高。下盘除地表有几十cm厚的戈壁砾石层外,下部均为胶结坚硬的早更新世砾岩,不含地下水,植被不发育。全新世风积砂土只发育在塔尔湾断裂上盘,下盘没有全新世地层发育;早更新世砾岩上的地貌陡坎高度远远小于全新世风积砂土上地貌陡坎的高度。这些都表明由全新世风积砂组成的地貌陡坎不是断裂活动形成的,而是外动力作用造成的。因此,塔尔湾断裂是一条早中更新世逆断裂。     

基于微型无人机摄影技术的微构造信息提取研究——以博-阿断裂乌苏通沟东岸为例

利用微型无人机摄影测量技术,获取了博-阿断裂在乌苏通沟东岸的高精度地形、地貌数据,解译DEM数据,并结合野外调查工作,明确了断裂在乌苏通沟东岸冲洪积扇上19.3～31.1m的水平位错。分析获取的陡坎剖面,且对比陡坎两侧地貌的剥蚀程度,认为陡坎形成后受到后期水流的侵蚀,部分陡坎的高度在一定程度上被放大,断裂的实际垂直位错在0.7m左右。通过实例展示了无人机摄影技术在活动构造研究中的巨大潜力以及在微构造信息提取中的独特优势。     

郑州老鸦陈断裂的探测与活动性调查研究

通过浅层地震勘探、钻孔联合剖面分析、野外地貌调查以及新地质年代测定等技术方法,对原先认定的郑州老鸦陈断裂的活动性开展调查. 其中,浅层地震勘探结果表明,该断裂仅存在于新近纪以前的地层,而在新近纪地层内均未发现该断层错断和活动迹象. 同时,地表的地质地貌调查亦发现ldquo;地貌陡坎rdquo;与老鸦陈断裂的位置不一致. 另外钻探和钻孔联合剖面的分析也表明,地表的陡坎仅发育在马兰黄土中, 其下地层平缓,没有错断现象,认为该陡坎的形成与老鸦陈断层没有关系,但可能与黄河改道变迁的侵蚀作用有关. 因此,老鸦陈断裂不属于活动断裂.      

邙山东侧地貌陡坎与老鸦陈断层活动性关系讨论

地貌陡坎的成因有许多种, 其中之一是由断层在新构造时期的活动造成。 因此, 地貌陡坎的存在可能指示了断层在新生代的活动性, 然而在运用地貌线性方法判定新生代以来断层活动的时候还需要有其他资料的相互验证, 否则可能得到相反的结论。 该文以邙山东侧陡坎与老鸦陈断层为例, 通过遥感影像解释、 中浅层地震探测、 联合钻孔对比、 地貌测量等方法, 得到了老鸦陈断层是一条倾向NE向的前第四纪正断层, 同时将陡坎分为三段, 陡坎总体走向NW—NWW向, 由北而南, 高差逐渐降低, 出郑州东南后消失。 分析两者之间的关系, 认为古黄河改道或其支流侵蚀切割形成邙山东侧陡坎, 与老鸦陈断层没有直接关系, 陡坎的形成时间不应早于晚更新世。     

华山山前断裂断错地貌及晚第四纪活动性

基于华山山前断裂1︰5万活动断层填图成果,对断裂沿线地层地貌、断层三角面、河流阶地、陡坎地貌以及典型断错剖面等进行了详细的研究。研究表明:1)华山山前断裂按几何结构、断错地貌表现分西段(蓝田—华县段)、中段(华县—华阴段)及东段(华阴—灵宝段)3段;2)西段及东段断裂错断了T_2阶地及马兰黄土,T_1阶地跨断裂连续,测年结果表明,T_2阶地形成于晚更新世中期,T_1阶地形成于全新世早期,由此得出西段及东段断裂在晚更新世有过活动,全新世以来活动弱或不活动;3)中段断错地貌显著,河谷两侧发育Ⅲ级阶地,跨断裂阶地均被错断,测年结果表明:T_1阶地形成于2~3kaBP,T_2阶地形成于6~7kaBP,T_3阶地形成于60~70kaBP,结合阶地陡坎高度,得出不同时段的平均垂直滑动速率:T_3—T_2时期0.4mm/a;T_2—T_1时期1.1mm/a;T_1以来1.6mm/a;4)中段在晚更新世晚期以来发生过多次活动,在石堤峪、沟峪等地见漫滩陡坎,结合文化层及炭样年龄,可知漫滩形成于距今400~600a,对比历史地震资料,漫滩陡坎应为华县1556年地震的遗迹;5)结合前人研究认为,公元1556年华县81/2级地震的发震构造为华山山前断裂及渭南塬前断裂,其它断裂是否参与有待进一步研究。     

阿拉善地块南缘北大山断裂的晚第四纪构造活动证据

阿拉善地块南缘地处青藏高原东北缘地壳扩展前锋带的北侧,对该地区活动断裂晚第四纪的运动性质、滑动速率等开展研究,有助于理解阿拉善地块的晚第四纪构造变形特征及其对青藏高原向N扩展的响应。文中结合遥感影像解译与野外地质地貌考察,对阿拉善地块南缘的北大山断裂进行了分段和活动性研究。结果表明,北大山断裂左旋走滑断错晚第四纪洪积扇和阶地等地貌,形成显著的位错阶地坎、冲沟以及断层陡坎。通过对断错地貌线等标志的测量、复原、统计分析等,发现断裂的地貌位移值分布于3～20m,发育新鲜断层自由面的断层陡坎和左旋错动的纹沟指示了断层的最新一次活动。基于同期洪积扇年龄估算得到北大山断裂晚更新世以来的左旋滑动速率为0.3～0.6mm/a。北大山断裂的运动学特征与区域NE向应力场一致,可能受到了青藏高原NE向扩展的影响。     

Micro Landform Extraction Based on UAV Photography Technology?Taking Kunzhong Fault (Balong Wenquan Section) as An Example

无人机测量具有高清晰度、大比例尺、小面积、高现势性的优点,为地貌参数获取提供更准确可靠的活动构造定量参数,克服传统测量方法工作量大、效率低、受自然条件限制等缺点,可提供厘米级定位数据,从而显著提升图像元数据的绝对精度。利用大疆精灵4 RTK小型多旋翼高精度航测无人机,获取昆中断裂（巴隆-温泉段）在龙通村北的高精度DEM地貌数据,通过对微地貌的提取,初步确定断裂在该处的水平位错量为2.1～15.4 m。分析获取的8条陡坎剖面,认为其中5条陡坎形成后受到水流侵蚀作用较小,陡坎高度基本相似,断裂实际垂直位错量为0.6～0.9 m。研究结果表明,无人机航测技术是识别复杂地貌构造信息并提取相关活动构造参数的有效手段,可为断裂的定量研究提供可靠的数据基础。     

焉耆盆地北缘断裂全新世滑动速率及地震危险性

天山是典型的陆内再生造山带,研究其现今内部断裂的变形特征和活动速率对于认识整个天山造山带的应变分配方式和变形过程具有重要意义。现今天山活动构造的研究大部分集中在天山两侧向盆地扩展的前缘部分,然而对于天山内部活动构造的定量化研究并不多见。该研究聚焦于南天山与其内部山间盆地之间的边界断裂——焉耆盆地北缘断裂,通过野外地质调查可将该断裂分为东西2段,其中东段逆冲断错了一系列山前洪积扇,形成了线性明显的陡坎地貌。通过利用高精度差分GPS对23组断层陡坎的测量,发现其垂向位移大致可分为1.9m、2.4m和3.0m 3组,推测单次地震的同震位移量为0.5~0.6m。其中保存于3.0m左右陡坎的地貌面为区域性地貌面,通过利用原地宇宙成因核素测定该地貌面的暴露年龄约为5ka,这与博斯腾湖沉积物所记录到冷暖气候交替的时间段相符,说明气候的冷暖变化控制了南天山前地貌面的形成和废弃。结合断层陡坎高度及地貌面年龄可得焉耆盆地北缘断裂东段5ka以来的倾滑速率为0.6~0.7mm/a,SN向的地壳缩短速率约为0.4mm/a,垂向滑动速率约为0.5mm/a。依据地震矩计算公式评估焉耆盆地北缘具有发生7.5级强震的可能性。该研究为认识现今天山的变形过程和变形方式提供定量化的数据支持,对于理解天山内部的强震发生地点和地震危险性具有重要的现实意义。     

祁连山北缘玉门-北大河断裂晚第四纪活动特征

通过卫星影像解译、野外实地调查并结合前人研究成果,对位于祁连山北缘的玉门—北大河断裂晚第四纪构造活动特征进行研究。结果表明,玉门—北大河断裂为一条全新世活动的逆冲断裂,该断裂西起玉门青草湾,向东经老玉门市、大红泉止于骨头泉,全长约80km,整体走向NWW。根据断裂的几何结构及活动习性可将其分为三段:东段构造形态简单连续,为逆冲断层陡坎为主的古地震地表破裂带;中段结构复杂,由多条次级断层组成,以逆冲扩展为主;西段未出露地表而成为盲断裂-褶皱带。通过对断层陡坎差分GPS测量及相应地貌面年代测试,得到断裂晚更新世以来逆冲速率约为(0.73±0.09)mm/a。     

滑脱褶皱陡坎的变形特征和运动学模型:以帕米尔-南天山前陆地区明尧勒背斜为例

褶皱陡坎是褶皱变形过程中形成的地貌陡坎,是近期发现的一种不同于断层陡坎的构造作用形成的陡坎状地貌。在缺少地震反射剖面等深部资料时,利用褶皱陡坎可对活动褶皱的变形特征和生长演化历史进行限定,但迄今为止有关研究较少。位于帕米尔-南天山前陆地区的明尧勒背斜为第四纪活动的滑脱褶皱。在背斜南翼的河流阶地上发育了一系列褶皱陡坎:在T2和T3b阶地上,褶皱陡坎的高度/宽度/坡度分别为16m/40m/25°和20m/50m/26°,陡坎位置与下伏基岩中向斜枢纽位置对应。通过对这些褶皱陡坎的分析,得出:1)这些褶皱陡坎是滑脱褶皱通过膝折带迁移机制形成的。2)褶皱陡坎形成初期,陡坎高度、宽度和坡度逐渐增大;当陡坎宽度达到枢纽带宽度2倍时,陡坎坡度将达到最大值;之后尽管陡坎高度和宽度逐渐增大,其坡度将保持恒定。3)褶皱陡坎吸收的缩短增量与陡坎高度和下伏地层倾角间存在定量几何关系。根据T2阶地上褶皱陡坎的高度约16m和暴露年龄约8ka,估算T2阶地面暴露以来明尧勒背斜南翼的缩短速率为~1.3mm/a。在上述分析基础上,还对比总结了滑脱褶皱陡坎和断弯褶皱陡坎的异同点。     

北京平谷地区地表陡坎的成因识别

根据对北京平谷三河地区地表陡坎的观察比较,研究了河流侵蚀陡坎与断层陡坎的微地貌形态差异。河流侵蚀形成陡坎的方向追随河流的冲沟方向,具不稳定性,并且陡坎的倾向沿河对称。断层陡坎的展布不受河流方向的影响,断层以倾向活动为主时,陡坎两盘的运动方向稳定。研究结果表明,平谷地区的地表陡坎是河流侵蚀陡坎。同时,还从构造地貌学与地层沉积学的角度,分析了平原区河流侵蚀沉积与断层断错沉积的特征,指出平谷地区的浅层人工地震探测及浅钻资料存在两种解释的可能性     

秦岭北麓晚第四纪断层陡坎的初步研究

根据航片解译和野外调查,发现在秦岭北麓第四纪松散沉积物中发育有断层陡坎,本文依据对这些陡坎的地质地貌分析、地形剖面测制、探槽揭露及测年数据,讨论了断层陡坎的空间分布和形态学特征、生成时代和断距,评估了秦岭北麓断裂在晚第四纪的活动强度。由断层陡坎高度经过校核获得断距变化范围在1.1至7.9米之间,由此求得秦岭北麓断裂中段全新世中晚期以来平均滑动速率接近1mm/a,西段在眉县一带为0.5mm/a左右。晚更新世以来,发生过3—4次古地震事件     

THE COSEISMIC VERTICAL DISPLACEMENTS OF SURFACE RUPTURE ZONE OF THE 1556 HUAXIAN EARTHQUAKE

Coseismic displacement plays a role in earthquake surface rupture, which not only reflects the magnitude scale but also has effect on estimates of fault slip rate and earthquake recurrence intervals. A great historical earthquake occurred in Huaxian County on the 23^rd January 1556, however, there was lack of surface rupture records and precise coseismic vertical displacements. It's known that the 1556 Huaxian earthquake was caused by Huashan front fault and Weinan plateau front fault, which are large normal faults in the east part of the southern boundary faults in Weihe Basin controlling the development of the basin in Quaternary. Here, we made a study on three drilling sites in order to unveil the coseismic vertical displacements. It is for the first time to get the accurate coseismic vertical displacements, which is 6m at Lijiapo site of Huashan front fault, 7m at Caiguocun site, and 6m at Guadicun site of Weinan plateau front fault. These coseismic displacements measured based on same layers of drilling profiles both at footwall and hanging wall are different from the results measured by former geomorphological fault scarps. It's estimated that some scarps are related with the nature reformation and the human beings' activities, for example, fluviation or terracing field, instead of earthquake acticity, which leads to some misjudgment on earthquake displacements. Moreover, the vertical displacements from the measurement of geomorphological scarps alone do not always agree with the virtual ones. Hence, we assume that the inconsistency between the results from drilling profiles and geomorphological scarps in this case demonstrates that the fault scarp surface may have been demolished and rebuilt by erosion or human activities.     

汶川M_S 8.0地震基岩中的地表破裂

在汶川MS8.0地震中,地表破裂变形带多表现为挠曲坎或断层坎,地表基岩破裂少见,作者在安县肖家桥附近基岩中发现了出露完整的地震地表破裂带。在仔细分析该破裂带变形特征和内部结构构造的基础上,结合区域上地震地表破裂特点,认为:这次地震的地表破裂主要沿先存的映秀-北川断裂发生和扩展,地震断层作用形式以右旋斜冲运动为主,安县肖家桥附近映秀-北川断裂的最大垂直同震位错为5.4m,与通过挠曲坎或断层坎测量的结果基本一致     

THE SLIP RATE AND PALEOEARTHQUAKES OF THE YUMEN FAULT IN THE NORTHERN QILIAN MOUNTAINS SINCE THE LATE PLEISTOCENE

The Yumen Fault lies on the west segment of the north Qilian Fault belt and adjacent to the Altyn-Tagh Fault,in the north margin of the Tibet Plateau.The tectonic location of the Yumen fault is special,and the fault is the evidence of recent activity of the northward growth of Tibetan plateau.In recent twenty years,many researches show the activity of the Yumen Fault became stronger from the early Pleistocene to the Holocene.Because the Yumen Fault is a new active fault and fold belt in the Qilian orogenic belt in the north margin of the Tibet Plateau,it is important to ascertain its slip rate and the recurrence interval of paleoearthquakes since the Late Pleistocene.Using the satellite image interpretation of the Beida river terrace,the GPS measurement of alluvial fans in front of the Yumen Fault and the trench excavation on the fault scarps,two conclusions are obtained in this paper.(1) The vertical slip rate of the Yumen Fault is about 0.41~0.48mm/a in the Holocene and about 0.24~0.30mm/a in the last stage of the late Pleistocene.(2) Since the Holocene epoch,four paleoearthquakes,which happened respectively in 6.12~10.53ka,3.6~5.38ka,1.64~1.93ka and 0.63~1.64ka,ruptured the surface scarps of the Yumen Fault.Overall,the recurrence interval of the paleoseismic events shortens gradually and the activity of the Yumen Fault becomes stronger since the Holocene.Anther characteristic is that every paleoearthquake probably ruptured multiple fault scarps at the same time.     

FAULTED LANDFORM AND SLIP RATE OF THE JINGHE SECTION OF THE BOLOKENU-AQIKEKUDUKE FAULT SINCE THE LATE PLEISTOCENE

The Bolokonu-Aqikekuduke fault zone(Bo-A Fault)is the plate convergence boundary between the middle and the northern Tianshan. Bo-A Fault is an inherited right-lateral strike-slip active fault and obliquely cuts the Tianshan Mountains to the northwest. Accurately constrained fault activity and slip rate is crucial for understanding the tectonic deformation mechanism, strain rate distribution and regional seismic hazard. Based on the interpretation of satellite remote sensing images and topographic surveys, this paper divides the alluvial fans in the southeast of Jinghe River into four phases, Fan1, Fan2, Fan3 and Fan4 by geomorphological elevation, water density, depth of cut, etc. This paper interprets gullies and terrace scarps by high-resolution LiDAR topographic data. Right-laterally offset gullies, fault scarps and terrace scarps are distributed in Fan1, Fan2b and Fan3. We have identified a total of 30 right-laterally offset gullies and terrace scarps. Minimum right-lateral displacement is about 6m and the maximum right-lateral displacements are(414±10)m, (91±5)m and(39±1)m on Fan2b, Fan3a and Fan3b. The landform scarp dividing Fan2b and Fan3a is offset right-laterally by (212±11)m. Combining the work done by the predecessors in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains with Guliya ice core climate curve, this paper concludes that the undercut age of alluvial fan are 56~64ka, 35~41ka, 10~14ka in the Tianshan Mountains. The slip rate of Bo-A Fault since the formation of the Fan2b, Fan3a and Fan3b of the alluvial-proluvial fan is 3.3~3.7mm/a, 2.2~2.6mm/a and 2.7~3.9mm/a. The right-lateral strike-slip rate since the late Pleistocene is obtained to be 3.1±0.3mm/a based on high-resolution LiDAR topographic data and Monte Carlo analysis.     

NEW ACTIVITY CHARACTERISTICS AND SLIP RATE OF THE EBOMIAO FAULT IN THE SOUTHERN MARGIN OF BEISHAN,GANSU PROVINCE

The Ebomiao Fault is a newly discovered active fault near the block boundary between the Tibetan plateau and the Alashan Block. This fault locates in the southern margin of the Beishan Mountain, which is generally considered to be a tectonically inactive zone, and active fault and earthquake are never expected to emerge, so the discovery of this active fault challenges the traditional thoughts. As a result, studying the new activity of this fault would shed new light on the neotectonic evolution of the Beishan Mountain and tectonic interaction effects between the Tibetan plateau and the Alashan Block. Based on some mature and traditional research methods of active tectonics such as satellite image interpretation, trenches excavation, differential GPS measurement, Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle Photogrammetry(UAVP), and Optical Stimulated Luminescence(OSL)dating, we quantitatively study the new activity features of the Ebomiao Fault.
Through this study, we complete the fault geometry of the Ebomiao Fault and extend the fault eastward by 25km on the basis of the 20km-fault trace identified previously, the total length of the fault is extened to 45km, which is capable of generating magnitude 7 earthquake calculated from the empirical relationships between earthquake magnitude and fault length. The Ebomiao Fault is manifested as several segments of linear scarps on the land surface, the scarps are characterized by poor continuity because of seasonal flood erosion. Linear scarps are either north- or south-facing scarps that emerge intermittently. Fourteen differential GPS profiles show that the height of the north-facing scarps ranges from (0.22±0.02)m to (1.32±0.1)m, and seven differential GPS profiles show the height of south-facing scarps ranging from (0.33±0.1)m to (0.64±0.1)m. To clarify the causes of the linear scarps with opposite-facing directions, we dug seven trenches across these scarps, the trench profiles show that the south-dipping reverse faults dominate the north-facing scarps, the dipping angles range from 23° to 86°. However, the south-facing scarps are controlled by south-dipping normal faults with dipping angles spanning from 60° to 81°.
The Ebomiao Fault is dominated by left-lateral strike-slip activity, with a small amount of vertical-slip component. From the submeter-resolution digital elevation models(DEM)constructed by UAVP, the measured left-lateral displacement of 19 gullies in the western segment of the Ebomiao Fault are(3.8±0.5)~(105±25)m, while the height of the north-facing scarps on this segment are(0.22±0.02)~(1.32±0.10)m(L₃-L₇), the left-lateral displacement is much larger than the scarp height. In this segment, there are three gullies preserving typical left-lateral offsets, one gully among them preserves two levels of alluvial terraces, the terrace riser between the upper terrace and the lower terrace is clear and shows horizontal offset. Based on high-resolution DEM interpretation and displacement restoration by LaDiCaoz software, the left-lateral displacement of the terrace riser is measured to be(16.7±0.5)m. The formation time of the terrace riser is approximated by the OSL age of the upper terrace, which is (11.2±1.5)ka BP at (0.68±0.03)m beneath the surface, and(11.4±0.6)ka at (0.89±0.03)m beneath the surface, the OSL age (11.2±1.5)ka BP at (0.68±0.03)m beneath the surface is more close to the formation time of the upper terrace because of a nearer distance to sediment contact between alluvial fan and eolian sand silt. Taking the (16.7±0.5)m left-lateral displacement of the terrace riser and the upper terrace age (11.2±1.5)ka, we calculate a left-lateral strike-slip rate of(1.52±0.25)mm/a for the Ebomiao Fault. The main source for the slip rate error is that the terrace risers on both walls of the fault are not definitely corresponded. The north wall of the fault is covered by eolian sand, we can only presume the location of terrace riser by geomorphic analysis. In addition, the samples used to calculate slip rate before were collected from the aeolian sand deposits on the north side of the fault, they are not sediments of the fan terraces, so they could not accurately define the formation age of the upper terrace. This study dates the upper terrace directly on the south wall of the fault.
Since the late Cenozoic, the new activity of the Ebomiao Fault may have responded to the shear component of the relative movement between the Tibetan plateau and the Alashan Block under the macroscopic geological background of the northeastern-expanding of the Tibetan plateau. The north-facing fault scarps are dominated by south-dipping low-angle reverse faults, the emergence of this kind of faults(faults overthrusting from the Jinta Basin to the Beishan Mountain)suggests the far-field effect of block convergence between Tibetan plateau and Alashan Block, which results in the relative compression and crustal shortening. As for whether the Ebomiao Fault and Qilianshan thrust system are connected in the deep, more work is needed.

1988年云南澜沧-耿马地震的烈度分布及地表破裂

1988年11月6日,在云南省西南部的澜沧-耿马断裂带上发生了两次大于7级的地震.地震造成的严重破坏和人员伤亡主要是由于极震区内抗震性能极差的毛石房、砖柱土坯房的大量倒塌所致.澜沧地震的震中基本烈度可达Ⅸ度,耿马地震极震区烈度达Ⅹ度.澜沧地震构造活动的地表证据主要是出现在极震区内的张性地裂缝带和小断层陡坎.地裂缝带和小断坎主要出现在四条相对连续的北北西走向的狭窄地带内,其长度从几百 m 到6km 不等.澜沧地震地表破裂带长约35km,宽约3km,最大垂直位移量和最大右旋水平位移量分别为1.5m 和1.4m.耿马地震地表断裂活动的明显证据包括一系列北北西走向的地裂缝带和一段长约5km的地震断层陡坎.耿马地震地表破裂带长约24km,其最大垂直位移3.5m,最大右旋水平位移为3m.两次地震形成的地表破裂带均具有右旋-正断层性质.本文讨论了这两次地震的 度分布及地表破裂特征.      

光学遥感影像阴影与2008年汶川地震同震地表变形的影像识别

遥感影像数据在2008年汶川地震抗震救灾和灾后恢复重建中发挥了重要的作用,充分利用遥感技术进行同震地表变形的快速识别与地震地质研究具有重要的现实意义。通过分析震后光学遥感影像的阴影、纹理等特征,以及野外获得的地表破裂变形的地质与地貌特征,总结了汶川地震同震地表变形的光学遥感影像识别特点。从遥感成像的光学原理深入解析了汶川地震断层陡坎在遥感影像上的阴影形成与识别特征,明确了成像时刻和断坎产状对影像阴影的形成和断层陡坎识别能力的约束。结合影像成像特征与汶川地震同震地表破裂特征的应用分析,客观地认识了现有遥感影像在同震地表变形应用中的局限性,可为今后的应急航空遥感方案设计提供参考
