Detectability and reliability analysis of the local seismic network in Pakistan

The detectability and reliability analysis for the local seismic network is performed employing by Bungum and Husebye technique.The events were relocated using standard computer codes for hypocentral locations.The de-tectability levels are estimated from the twenty-five years of recorded data in terms of 50%,90%and 100% cumu-lative detectability threshokls,which were derived from frequency-magnitude distribution.From this analysis the 100%level of detectability of the network is ML=1.7 for events which occur within the network.The accuracy in hypocentral solutions of the network is investigated by considering the fixed real hypocenter within the network.The epicentral errors are found to be less than 4km then the events occur within the network.Finally.the prob-lems faced during continuous operation of the local network,which effects its detectability,are discussed.     

Ground motion prediction equations based on shallow crustal earthquakes in Georgia and the surrounding Caucasus

Strong ground motions caused by earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 3.5 to 6.9 and hypocentral distances of up to 300 km were recorded by local broadband stations and three-component accelerograms within Georgia’s enhanced digital seismic network. Such data mixing is particularly effective in areas where strong ground motion data are lacking. The data were used to produce models based on ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs), one benefit of which is that they take into consideration information from waveforms across a wide range of frequencies. In this study, models were developed to predict ground motions for peak ground acceleration and 5%-damped pseudo-absolute-acceleration spectra for periods between 0.01 and 10 s. Short-period ground motions decayed faster than long-period motions, though decay was still in the order of approximately 1/r. Faulting mechanisms and local soil conditions greatly influence GMPEs. The spectral acceleration (SA) of thrust faults was higher than that for either strike-slip or normal faults but the influence of strike-slip faulting on SA was slightly greater than that for normal faults. Soft soils also caused significantly more amplification than rocky sites.     

Determining hypocentral parameters for local earthquakes under ill conditions using genetic algorithm

We demonstrate that GA-MHYPO determines accurate hypocentral parameters for local earthquakes under ill conditions, such as limited number of stations (phase data), large azimuthal gap, and noisy data. The genetic algorithm (GA) in GA-MHYPO searches for the optimal 1-D velocity structure which provides the minimum traveltime differences between observed (true) and calculated P and S arrivals within prescribed ranges. GA-MHYPO is able to determine hypocentral parameters more accurately in many circumstances than conventional methods which rely on an a priori (and possibly incorrect) 1-D velocity model. In our synthetic tests, the accuracy of hypocentral parameters obtained by GA-MHYPO given ill conditions is improved by more than a factor of 20 for error-free data, and by a factor of five for data with errors, compared to that obtained by conventional methods such as HYPOINVERSE. In the case of error-free data, GA-MHYPO yields less than 0.1 km errors in focal depths and hypocenters without strong dependence on azimuthal coverage up to 45°. Errors are less than 1 km for data with errors of a 0.1-s standard deviation. To test the performance using real data, a well-recorded earthquake in the New Madrid seismic zone and earthquakes recorded under ill conditions in the High Himalaya are relocated by GA-MHYPO. The hypocentral parameters determined by GA-MHYPO under both good and ill conditions show similar computational results, which suggest that GA-MHYPO is robust and yields more reliable hypocentral parameters than standard methods under ill conditions for natural earthquakes.     

沉积盆地台网稀疏地区中等强度浅源地震起始深度测定——以2013年前郭MS 5.8和2016年Fairview MW5.1地震序列为例

Azimuthal anisotropy of the P-wave velocity in the hypocentral volume of the Krn Mt. (Slovenia) earthquake sequence

Azimuthal anisotropy of P-wave velocity in the hypocentral volume of the Krn Mt. (Slovenia) earthquake sequence is measured using the differences of travel times and of travel paths of the Pg-phase towards the recording stations of the local and regional networks. The observed velocity varies between 6.0 km/s in the ENE–WSW direction and 6.4 km/s for waves propagating NNW–SSE. These directions closely match those of the mean regional principal stress components obtained from individual fault-plane solutions for events from the Krn Mt. sequence. A large part of observed anisotropy may be explained if hypocentral volume is assumed to be pervaded by a system of vertical/subvertical extensive-dilatancy anisotropy (EDA) cracks aligned under the influence of local tectonic stress field.     

Fractal analysis of earthquake swarms of Vogtland/NW-Bohemia intraplate seismicity

The special type of intraplate microseismicity with swarm-like occurrence of earthquakes within the Vogtland/NW-Bohemian Region is analysed to reveal the nature and the origin of the seismogenic regime. The long-term data set of continuous seismic monitoring since 1962, including more than 26000 events within a range of about 5 units of local magnitude, provides an unique database for statistical investigations. Most earthquakes occur in narrow hypocentral volumes (clusters) within the lower part of the upper crust, but also single event occurrence outside of spatial clusters is observed. Temporal distribution of events is concentrated in clusters (swarms), which last some days until few month in dependence of intensity. Since 1962 three strong swarms occurred (1962, 1985/86, 2000), including two seismic cycles. Spatial clusters are distributed along a fault system of regional extension (Leipzig-Regensburger Störung), which is supposed to act as the joint tectonic fracture zone for the whole seismogenic region. Seismicity is analysed by fractal analysis, suggesting a unifractal behaviour of seismicity and uniform character of seismotectonic regime for the whole region. A tendency of decreasing fractal dimension values is observed for temporal distribution of earthquakes, indicating an increasing degree of temporal clustering from swarm to swarm. Following the idea of earthquake triggering by magma intrusions and related fluid and gas release into the tectonically pre-stressed parts of the crust, a steady increased intensity of intrusion and/or fluid and gas release might account for that observation. Additionally, seismic parameters for Vogtland/NW-Bohemia intraplate seismicity are compared with an adequate data set of mining-induced seismicity in a nearby mine of Lubin/Poland and with synthetic data sets to evaluate parameter estimation. Due to different seismogenic regime of tectonic and induced seismicity, significant differences between b-values and temporal dimension values are observed. Most significant for intraplate seismicity are relatively low fractal dimension values for temporal distribution. That observation reflects the strong degree of temporal earthquake clustering, which might explain the episodic character of earthquake swarms and support the idea of push-like triggering of earthquake avalanches by intruding magma.     

三维复杂速度模型中地震事件震源轨迹的计算

地球内部三维速度图像的广泛建立为进行高精度的地震定位提供了良好条件.使用震源轨迹确定震源位置不仅稳健而且直观,但三维复杂速度模型中的震源轨迹难以给出解析解.为此,本文提出了一种较准确地计算三维复杂速度模型中震源轨迹的数值方法.根据震源轨迹在残差场中的特点：（1）震源轨迹位于残差正负极性彼此不同的邻点之间;（2）绝对梯度在震源轨迹的法线方向最大;（3）在法线方向上越靠近震源轨迹残差绝对值越小,对于每个模型节点分别和残差正负极性与其不同的邻点组成的点对,将其中绝对梯度最大的点对作为震源轨迹法线点对,选取法线点对中残差绝对值较小的点（即震源轨迹所在模型单元的节点）作为震源轨迹代表点;在绝对残差场中数值较小的连通区域（可能有多个）内,利用最小走时树算法依次计算出每个连通区域中地震波从绝对残差最小点至同一连通区域内震源轨迹代表点的射线路径作为震源轨迹.算例表明：本文方法适用于三维复杂速度模型,对震源轨迹的稳定性及构成段数没有限制,计算的震源轨迹精细且较完整、可用于高精度的地震定位.     

Implications of differences in thermodynamic conditions for the seismic process

Variations in characteristics of the seismic process are considered under various thermodynamic conditions. In addition to the usual parameters, differences between hypocenter depths obtained from seismic moment solutions and ordinary hypocentral determinations are considered. Two different tendencies are shown to prevail in source parameter variations for events that occur above and below 80–100 km. The first tendency apparently corresponds to variations in the parameters of ordinary crustal earthquakes with increasing pressure. The second tendency is supposedly associated with the prevalence of specific deep mechanisms of seismogenesis. Distinctions in the dynamics of earthquakes developing downward and toward the surface are examined and accounted for by a low density fluid phase present in earthquake sources. The localization of deep earthquakes at certain depths and specific features of deep seismogenesis are discussed. Such features are related to the role of transformations in the material of subducting plates in the occurrence of deep earthquakes. The problem of genesis of deep earthquakes is discussed.     

Anomalously deep earthquakes in northwestern Italy

It is usually assumed that earthquakes in intraplate regions occur in the upper crust, and northwestern Italy is generally assigned to this kind of normal seismicity. In this work, the depth distribution of the events localized in this area by the Istituto Geofisico Geodetico (IGG) seismic network in the period 1991–1997 is analyzed in detail. In particular, the location capability of the network is discussed, adopting as reference quarry blasts (for the epicentral position) and the locations obtained from a dense temporary network (for the depth estimate). Within the so-obtained error limits, the depth distribution of events show a characteristic pattern: while for most of the area covered by the network the well-located seismicity lies within the first 20 km of depth, in a band following the inner arc of the Western Alps, numerous events have anomalously large focal depths, reaching a maximum of 114 km. These depth determinations cannot be attributed to instabilities of the location procedure: different choices of the propagation models used for the hypocentral determination led to very similar depth values, always significantly larger than the standard values for the surrounding areas. A strong correlation has been found between the 3-dimensional distribution of these foci and the P-wave propagation anomalies obtained from tomographic studies, suggesting a direct link between elastic and rheological properties of lower crust and upper mantle in this area.
