板内盆地地震构造分析──以江苏南部为例

板内地震构造的主要控制因素是区域构造应力场和局部的特殊发震构造条件。本文提出江苏南部强地震的主要构造标志是新生代活动盆地，盆地内的隐伏发震断层与区域构造应力场的最大主应力之间的夹角正好有利于剪切破裂的发生。三维有限元数值模拟证明，盆地形成过程中产生的地壳脆弱化，导致构造应力的重新分布和局部集中，盆地内部脆弱体中的隐伏断层是潜在的震源破裂面，盆地边缘积累的弹性应变能则是地震时释放的能量来源。

本文根据共和6.9级地震发生的地质构造环境及发震断层的空间几何学特征,分析了区域构造活动、变形特征及共和盆地块体的应力平衡,作者认为:龙羊峡水库蓄水荷载,破坏了原有盆地块体的应力平衡,以及水对盆地南缘隐伏断层局部地段的弱化是导致本次地震发生的主要原因。     

断层活动方式与地震地表变形分布特征研究

基于断层弹性位错理论及断层滑动非均匀模型,用三维有限元方法计算了发震断层逆断、正断和水平走滑三种不同活动方式下的地表变形,探讨了断层不同活动方式下的地震应变与位移的分布规律及震级、断层倾角对地震地表变形分布的影响。研究结果表明,地震地表变形影响因素很多,如地质构造条件、岩性介质特征、断层活动强度、断层产状和区域构造应力场等,但分布形态最终决定于断层活动方式,变形大小则决定于断层活动强度,其它均为局地因素,只影响分布形态的局部扭曲。断层不同活动方式下的地震地表变形分布各有其自身的规律和特点,这些分布特征可作为地震研究及近活动断层建筑工程抗震设计或加固防护参考。     

昆明盆地及周边地区第四纪构造应力场分析

昆明盆地是一个受南北向活动断裂控制的新生代断陷盆地,在昆明盆地及其周边地区地质构造复杂,活动断裂十分发育,且活动性较强.野外地震地质调查和断裂滑动观测表明:区内南北向断裂主要表现为左旋走滑和逆断两种运动方式,北东、北西向断裂以走滑运动为主,左右旋兼而有之.通过对研究区内32个测点的断层擦痕测量,共获得了1527条断层滑动数据,利用由断层滑动资料反演构造应力张量的方法,计算获得了研究区第四纪以来两期主要构造应力作用:第一期为早、中更新世,构造应力作用以近东西向挤压和近南北向拉张为特征;第二期自晚更新世至今,构造应力作用以北北西-南南东向挤压和北东东.南西西向拉张为特征.     

京西北盆岭构造区现代构造应力场的非均匀特征

京西北盆岭构造区包括延矾、怀涿、蔚广、阳原、灵丘、怀安及张家口多个活动断陷盆地.通过对该区大量活动断层擦痕的测量,利用由断层滑动资料反演构造应力张量的计算方法,获得研究区24个测点的构造应力张量数据;同时利用格点尝试法对研究区两个不同应力分区的中小地震震源机制解进行了分析.依据断层滑动与震源机制解两类资料的分析计算结果,初步给出了研究区现代构造应力场的非均匀特征：延矾盆地区域（B区）断层滑动反演的构造应力张量与震源机制解类型均表现为走滑型,表明该区受控于NEE-SWW向挤压、NNW-SSE向拉张的区域构造应力作用.怀涿、蔚广等盆地所在的山西断陷带北部尾端区域（A区）断层滑动反演的构造应力张量与震源机制解类型以正断型为主,表明怀涿、蔚广等盆地所在的山西断陷带北部尾端区域（A区）受近NNW-SSE向拉张的局部构造作用相对于延矾盆地更为显著.现代构造应力场的非均匀分布反映了京西北盆岭构造的差异特征.     

地震触发研究中库仑应力随摩擦系数增加而增大的矛盾及其解决

近年来,通过计算库仑破裂应力变化研究地震触发及断层的相互作用,进而估计地震灾害已经成为国际上研究的热点.研究中,为考察库仑模型触发地震的效果,计算时往往要改变模型参数进行检验,特别是让有效摩擦系数从0.0到0.8之间变化.许多研究人员的计算结果表明,库仑破裂应力随着摩擦系数的增加而增大,即断层上摩擦系数的增大可以导致触发地震能力的提高.这显然与我们的常识相违背:摩擦总是阻碍断层滑动、抑制地震发生的,即断层面上的摩擦越大,地震越是难以被触发.文中通过对库仑破裂应力的计算公式进行详细分析后发现,之所以出现摩擦越大,地震越容易被触发的现象,其原因是研究者在计算中没有考虑在构造应力作用的环境里,摩擦系数本身的变化所带来的附加库仑应力变化.若某个地震使一个位于地下15km的典型断层面上的正应力增加2 MPa,如果只考虑静岩压力,当摩擦系数从0.3增大到0.4后,传统库仑破裂应力变化为0.8 MPa;而综合库仑应力变化则大约为-39.2 MPa.所以,若从整体上来分析断层在地震位错及摩擦系数变化所造成的综合库仑应力改变,就不可能出现库仑应力随摩擦系数增加而增加的不正常现象.由此可见,今后在利用库仑模型研究地震触发问题时,应综合考虑构造应力场及摩擦系数本身变化所带来的库仑应力变化.     

2022年青海门源MW6.6地震InSAR同震形变场与震源特征

本文利用合成孔径雷达差分干涉(Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar, D-InSAR)技术处理哨兵卫星升降轨影像,获取了2022年青海门源M_S6.9地震的同震变形场,变形结果显示此次地震导致冷龙岭断裂西段两侧约30 km×20 km范围明显变形,卫星视线向最大同震位移达50 cm.基于有限断层模型,本文构造断层滑动分布模型,反演同震变形场数据.模型显示,冷龙岭断裂的破裂以左旋走滑为主,破裂长度约23 km,主要分布在10 km以上深度,整体形态表现为不规则椭圆盘,其中约3.9 m的最大破裂位于5～6 km深度的椭圆中心.基于反演模型估算的地震平均应力降约5.9 MPa,地震标量矩为1.0×10¹⁹ N·m,对应矩震级为M_W6.6.本文计算了1927年古浪地震、1986年及2016年门源地震对本次地震破裂面的同震静态库仑应力扰动,结果表明冷龙岭断裂西段受到历次地震的库仑应力加载作用,库仑应力增加累积达0.12 MPa,对本次发震断层的破裂有促进作用,其中...     

1997年玛尼地震对青藏川滇地区构造块体系统稳定性影响的三维DDA+FEM方法数值模拟

本文用三维非连续变形与有限元相结合（DDA+FEM）的方法,在青藏川滇地区三维构造块体相互制约的大背景中,通过用GPS资料做位移速率边界约束和震源机制约束,计算得到研究区的初始位移场和应力场与该地区GPS测量结果和震源机制分布结果基本一致.在此基础上进一步数值模拟1997年玛尼7.9级大震的发生过程,研究大震引起研究区各块体边界断层应力状态变化的特征.（1）发震断层两侧发生左旋走滑错动,最大水平位错大约7 m;（2）深部位错面上位错分布与用地震波资料震源反演的结果类似;（3）最大差应力变化等值线图与由星载D\|INSAR技术获取的地表形变场图像相似;（4）地表垂直位移表明地震断层面略向北逆冲.计算模拟得到了玛尼地震发生引起青藏川滇地区构造块体系统各边界断层上库仑破裂应力变化的分布,表明玛尼大震的发生除了使其发震断层的两端库仑破裂应力增大,应力进一步集中外,位于上地壳层上东昆仑断裂中段的2001年昆仑山8.1大震（H=11 km）发震断层段的库仑破裂应力增加约2 MPa,位于中地壳层上喀拉昆仑断裂带中的2008年改则6.9级地震（H=30 km）发震断层段的库仑破裂应力也增加约0.7 MPa,可见这两个已接近破裂强度地段的失稳对发生大震起了一定促进作用.研究结果也表明：作者发展的三维DDA+FEM方法能有效地用于大震活动与各构造块体相互作用关系的研究.     

2016年3月2日苏门答腊MS7.8地震同震位移和应力场数值模拟研究

苏门答腊地区发育多条左旋走滑性质断层,地震活动活跃.2006年3月2日该区西南海域发生了M_S7.8大地震.大地震的发生常常会引发区域位移场和应力场及周围断层应力状态发生变化.本文建立全球PREM有限元地球模型,据已有的断层滑动模型计算了此次苏门答腊地震引发的同震位移和应力及库仑应力变化,并进一步讨论了此次地震对周围断层的影响以及区域构造应力场对库仑应力变化计算的影响.初步结果表明此次苏门答腊M_S7.8地震造成较大的南北向水平位移且集中在探测者破裂区（Investigator Fracture Zone）,最大水平位移量约6.74 m,断层倾角接近垂直,下盘向北运动而上盘向南,进一步表明M_S7.8地震为典型的左旋走滑为主的地震,发生海啸的可能性较低;库仑应力变化达MPa量级的区域集中在震中,但近场大部分余震分布在库仑应力减小区域,有效摩擦系数变化和区域构造应力场的耦合作用可能是其原因;利用改进的库仑应力变化计算方法和最优破裂方向计算得出的结果显示库仑应力触发理论可较好地解释余震分布.     

A Monte Carlo study of rainfall forecasting with a stochastic model

A procedure for short-term rainfall forecasting in real-time is developed and a study of the role of sampling on forecast ability is conducted. Ground level rainfall fields are forecasted using a stochastic space-time rainfall model in state-space form. Updating of the rainfall field in real-time is accomplished using a distributed parameter Kalman filter to optimally combine measurement information and forecast model estimates. The influence of sampling density on forecast accuracy is evaluated using a series of a simulated rainfall events generated with the same stochastic rainfall model. Sampling was conducted at five different network spatial densities. The results quantify the influence of sampling network density on real-time rainfall field forecasting. Statistical analyses of the rainfall field residuals illustrate improvement in one hour lead time forecasts at higher measurement densities.

Foreword

Destructive earthquakes have caused great damage in China and the United States and collapsing buildings havecaused many deaths and injuries. The field of earthquake engineering studies earthquake hazards, the occurrence ofearthquakes of various magnitudes, the nature of the ground shaking during an earthquake, the vibration of structuresduring earthquakes, the strengthening of existing structures and the design of new structures to be earthquake resistant,and finally, how to cope with earthquake damage and restore a city to normal functioning. Such efforts are in progressin both countries, but unfortunately, the language barrier interferes with the free flow of information between China andthe Untied States. It would be mutually beneficial if some means could be developed to promote the exchangeof information across the Pacific Ocean. This new journal has been established for this purpose and its success willbe an important step in promoting earthquake engineering in China and the United States.

Enhancing remote sensing research on global change to improve our understanding on Earth system processes

正Global Change includes climate change and other environmental changes caused by the joint interaction among various layers of Earth. From the positive side, global change provides new opportunities to human and other living forms on Earth. In the meantime, it creates tremendous challenges and negative impact. At present, the negative impacts have reached all primary processes of the global ecosystem and every aspect of human society, especially causing degradation of the ecosystem. For instance, intensive deforestation causes decline of biodiversity; global warming causes sea level rise and increases     

Solute concentrations in the lower niger river and the source rock contribution

Water quality analyses for the Niger River for the 1980/81 hydrological year are presented. The samples were collected from the main river at Lokoja, and from two main tributaries, the Kaduna and the Benue Rivers. Different water types were distinguished by the concentrations of major ions. The type Ca > Na > Mg > K - HCO₃ > SO₄ > Cl was represented at all stations during at least part of the year. Chloride was found to dominate the sulphate ion in the Kaduna and Niger, while the Benue maintained a higher concentration of sulphate relative to chloride all year round. Distinct patterns of seasonal variation in the ion concentrations were observed, particularly for the samples collected at Lokoja. Low ion concentrations were prominent during periods of high discharge, while low flow periods coincided with high dissolved ion concentrations. The contribution of rainwater to the total dissolved solids in the river waters was assessed indirectly using rainwater chemistry data from the Gulf of Guinea. The estimated rainwater contribution to the Lower Niger amounts to 5.15 mg 1^?1. Geochemical weathering calculations involving reactions of the four major minerals of granitic rocks - anorthite, biotite, albite, and K-feldspar - with carbon dioxide and water, can account for the average water composition of the Lower Niger. The proportion of the ionic components was also related to the occurrence of the respective element in the minerals.
