藏北羌塘盆地中部莫霍面形态及其动力学成因

本文通过对羌塘盆地内49个临时宽频带地震观测台阵数据的接收函数分析,采用H-κ叠加和CCP 叠加成像两种方法,获得到了藏北羌塘中部莫霍面深度以及泊松比分布.作为羌塘盆地构造单元的南缘边界,班公湖-怒江缝合带下的Moho存在一个南深北浅、断距约10 km的台阶;把羌塘盆地分为两部分的羌塘中央隆起带下存在一个3 km的Moho台阶;北羌塘盆地下的Moho 平均深度约为60 km,而南羌塘约为63 km.羌塘高原下的近水平Moho结构可能是受到印度大陆北向俯冲作用下的青藏高原隆升过程中Moho再均衡所致或者与其构造演化有关.泊松比值具有明显的构造分区特征,如南羌塘下的泊松比平均为0.31,双湖缝合带下的泊松比接近正常值,为0.265,而北羌塘的泊松比平均为0.285.     

印度板块下地壳北向俯冲与榴辉岩化的地震学证据:接收函数成像结果

印度地壳与岩石圈地幔的俯冲前缘和俯冲形态,对认识高原构造变形、隆升机制有重要意义.本文基于青藏高原西缘分布的流动宽频带地震台站（TW-80测线和Y2台网）记录的远震波形数据,通过接收函数H-κ网格搜索与CCP叠加方法,对研究区地壳结构进行成像.结果显示：（1）研究区西侧北西—南东向剖面（剖面1,2）,狮泉河逆冲断裂带以南,深度67~80 km范围内均观测到连续的Moho界面;40~55 km范围内存在另一组横向上可连续追踪的界面,其形态与之下Moho面横向变化趋势近乎平行;（2）研究区东侧剖面3下方,Moho面从南端喀喇昆仑断裂带下方向北逐渐加深,在雅鲁藏布江缝合带附近增至大约67 km,进入拉萨块体至台站WT20和WT03下方至最深75~80 km,然后向北有所抬升.基于成像结果和岩石学研究成果推测藏南块体下方,自西向东均存在俯冲印度板块下地壳的榴辉岩化现象,可以用来指示印度板块地壳尺度的俯冲前缘,其在青藏高原西部（约80°E）位于班公湖—怒江缝合带附近,向东逐步递减至拉萨块体中部.     

Lithospheric structure of NW Iran from P and S receiver functions

We computed P and S receiver functions to investigate the lithospheric structure beneath the northwest Iran and compute the Vp/Vs ratio within the crust of this seismologically active area. Our results enabled us to map the lateral variations of the Moho as well as those of the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB) beneath this region. We selected data from teleseismic events (M_b?>?5.5, epicentral distance between 30° and 95° for P receiver functions and M_b?>?5.7, epicentral distance between 60° and 85° for S receiver functions) recorded from 1995 to 2008 at 8 three-component short-period stations of Tabriz Telemetry Seismic Network. Our results obtained from P receiver functions indicate clear conversions at the Moho boundary. The Moho depth was firstly estimated from the delay time of the Moho converted phase relative to the direct P wave. Then we used the H-Vp/Vs stacking algorithm of Zhu and Kanamori to estimate the crustal thickness and Vp/Vs ratio underneath the stations with clear Moho multiples. We found an average Moho depth of 48 km, which varies between 38.5 and 53 km. The Moho boundary showed a significant deepening towards east and north. This may reveal a crustal thickening towards northeast possibly due to the collision between the Central Iran and South Caspian plates. The obtained average Vp/Vs ratio was estimated to be 1.76, which varies between 1.73 and 1.82. The crustal structure was also determined by modeling of P receiver functions. We obtained a three-layered model for the crust beneath this area. The thickness of the layers is estimated to be 6–11, 18–35, and 38–53 km, respectively. The average of the shear wave velocity was calculated to be 3.4 km/s in the crust and reaches 4.3 km/s below the Moho discontinuity. The crustal thickness values obtained from P receiver functions are in good agreement with those derived by S receiver functions. In addition, clear conversions with negative polarity were observed at ~8.7 s in S receiver functions, which could be related to the conversion at the LAB. This may show a relatively thin continental lithosphere of about 85 km implying that the lithosphere was influenced by various geodynamical reworking processes in the past.     

Crustal structure of Northwest Zagros (Kermanshah) and Central Iran (Yazd and Isfahan) using teleseismic Ps converted phases

Receiver functions are widely employed to detect P-to-S converted waves and are especially useful to image seismic discontinuities in the crust. In this study we used the P receiver function technique to investigate the velocity structure of the crust beneath the Northwest Zagros and Central Iran and map out the lateral variation of the Moho boundary within this area. Our dataset includes teleseismic data (M _b ≥ 5.5, epicentral distance from 30° to 95°) recorded at 12 three-component short-period stations of Kermanshah, Isfahan and Yazd telemetry seismic networks. Our results obtained from P receiver functions indicate clear Ps conversions at the Moho boundary. The Moho depths were firstly estimated from the delay time of the Moho converted phase relative to the direct P wave beneath each network. Then, we used the P receiver function inversion to find the properties of the Moho discontinuity such as depth and velocity contrast. Our results obtained from PRF are in good agreement with those obtained from the P receiver function modeling. We found an average Moho depth of about 42 km beneath the Northwest Zagros increasing toward the Sanandaj-Sirjan Metamorphic Zone and reaches 51 km, where two crusts (Zagros and Central Iran) are assumed to be superposed. The Moho depth decreases toward the Urmieh-Dokhtar Cenozoic volcanic belt and reaches 43 km beneath this area. We found a relatively flat Moho beneath the Central Iran where, the average crustal thickness is about 42 km. Our P receiver function modeling revealed a shear wave velocity of 3.6 km/s in the crust of Northwest Zagros and Central Iran increasing to 4.5 km/s beneath the Moho boundary. The average shear wave velocity in the crust of UDMA as SSZ is 3.6 km/s, which reaches to 4.0 km/s while in SSZ increases to 4.3 km/s beneath the Moho.     

A detailed receiver function image of the lithosphere beneath the Kopeh-Dagh (Northeast Iran)

The Kopeh-Dagh fold belts are among the most seismically active areas in Northeastern Iran, which build the northern part of the Alpine–Himalayan orogen in western Asia. They act as the abrupt northeastern limit to active deformation in Iran. We perform a combined P and S receiver function analysis to detect the major discontinuities within the lithosphere beneath Northeast Iran. Our results obtained from 12 short period and broadband seismological stations significantly map the lateral variations of the Moho boundary. Based on P receiver functions, we show that the Moho depth varies from ～43 km beneath the southern Kopeh-Dagh foreland basin to ～49 km below the northern part of the basin. S receiver functions reliably reveal an average Moho depth of ～50–55 km beneath the Kopeh-Dagh mountain range showing the regional shortening in response to the collision of Arabia with Eurasia. Furthermore, we observe clear conversions with negative polarity at ～8.5–9.5 s in S receiver functions, which could be related to the conversion at the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary. This may show a relatively thin continental lithosphere of about 85–95 km beneath the Kopeh-Dagh implying that the lithosphere was influenced by geodynamical reworking processes in the past.     

Erratum to: Lithospheric structure of NW Iran from P and S receiver functions

We computed P and S receiver functions to investigate the lithospheric structure beneath the northwest Iran and compute the Vp/Vs ratio within the crust of this seismologically active area. Our results enabled us to map the lateral variations of the Moho as well as those of the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB) beneath this region. We selected data from teleseismic events (M_b > 5.5, epicentral distance between 30° and 95° for P receiver functions and M_b > 5.7, epicentral distance between 60° and 85° for S receiver functions) recorded from 1995 to 2008 at 8 three-component short-period stations of Tabriz Telemetry Seismic Network.

The crust and upper mantle discontinuity structure beneath Alaska inferred from receiver functions

In this study, three receiver function stacking methods are used to study the detailed crust and upper mantle structure beneath south-central Alaska. We used teleseismic waveform data recorded by 36 stations in the Broadband Experiment Across the Alaska Range (BEAAR) and 4 permanent stations in Alaska. H − κ stacking method using P-to-S converted wave and its multiply reflected waves between the Earth's surface and the Moho discontinuity is adopted to estimate the crustal thickness (H) and average crustal V_P/V_S ratio (κ) in this region. The receiver function results for 24 stations show that the crustal thickness under Alaska ranges from 26.0 to 42.6 km with an average value of 33.8 km, and the V_P/V_S ratio varies from 1.66 to 1.94 with an average value of 1.81 which corresponds to an average Poisson's ratio of 0.277 with a range from 0.216 to 0.320. High Poisson's ratios under some stations are possibly caused by partial melting in the crust and the uppermost mantle. Common converted point (CCP) stacking results of receiver functions along three lines show clear Moho and slab images under this subduction zone. The depths of the slab from our CCP stacking images are consistent with those estimated from the Wadati–Benioff Zone (WBZ). In the area between two stations DH2 (147.8°W, 63.3°N) and DH3 (147.1°W, 63.0°N), a Moho depth offset of about 10 km is found by both the H − κ and CCP stacking techniques. Common depth point (CDP) stacking of receiver functions shows not only the 410-, 520- and 660-km discontinuities, but also significant variations (−30 to 15 km) in the transition zone thickness under the southwest and southeast parts of the study region. The transition zone becomes thinner by 20–30 km, indicating that the temperature there is 150–200 K higher than that of the normal mantle.     

THE DEPTH OF MOHO INTERFACE AND CRUSTAL THICKNESS IN SICHUAN-YUNNAN REGION,CHINA

By using moving average method to separate Bouguer gravity anomaly field in Sichuan-Yunnan region, we got the low-frequency Bouguer gravity anomaly field which reflects the undulating of Moho interface. The initial model is obtained after seismic model transformation and elevation correction. Then, we used Parker method to invert the low-frequency Bouguer gravity anomaly field to obtain the depth of Moho interface and crustal thickness in the area. The results show that the Qinghai-Tibet block in the northwest of the study area deepens and thickens from the edge to the interior, with the depth of Moho interface and the crust thickness of about 52~62km and 54~66km, respectively. The depth of Moho interface in Sichuan Basin is about 38~42km. In Sichuan-Yunnan block, the depth of Moho interface is about 42~62km from southeast to northwest. Beneath the West Yunnan block, west of the Red River fault zone, the Moho depth is about 34~52km from south to north. The Longmen Mountains and Red River fault zone are the gradient zone of the Moho depth change. Along the Red River fault zone, the depth difference of Moho interface is increasing gradually from north to south. No obvious uplift is found on the Moho interface of Panzhihua rift valley. The depth of Moho interface distribution in Sichuan and Yunnan is obviously restricted by the collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate and the lateral subduction of the Indo-China peninsula. The mean square error of the depth of Moho interface is less than 1.7km between the result of divisional density interface inversion and artificial seismic exploration. At the same time, we compared the integral with divisional inversion result. It shows that:in areas where there is obvious difference between the crust velocity and density structure in different tectonic blocks, the use of high resolution seismic exploration data as the constraints to the divisional density interface inversion can effectively improve the reliability of inversion results.

用接收函数方法研究汶川和芦山地震之间未破裂段的地壳结构

芦山与汶川地震之间存在约40 km的地震空区.震源区和地震空区的深部构造背景的研究对深入了解中强地震的深部孕育环境及地震空区的地震活动性具有重要科学意义.利用本小组布设的15个临时观测地震台以及21个芦山科考台站和21个四川省地震局固定台站记录的远震数据,用H-K叠加方法得到各个台站的地壳厚度和平均泊松比,并构建了接收函数共转换点(CCP)偏移叠加图像以及反演得到台站下方的S波速度模型.我们的结果揭示了震源区和地震空区地壳结构特征差异:(1)汶川震源区的地壳平均泊松比为~0.28;芦山震源区为~0.29;而地震空区处于泊松比变化剧烈的区域;(2)汶川地震与芦山地震的震源区以西下方的Moho面呈现深度上的突变(这与前人的研究成果基本一致),分别从~44 km突变到~59 km,~40 km突变到~50 km,而地震空区地壳平均厚度呈现渐变性变化;(3)地震空区Moho面下凹且具有低速的上地壳.综合一维S波速度结构和H-k以及CCP的初步结果,这可能显示汶川地震的发震断裂在深部方向上向西倾斜并形成切割整个地壳的大型断裂;芦山地震则可能是由于上、下地壳解耦引起的;而地震空区处于两种地震形成机制控制区域的过渡带中.     

利用接收函数方法研究四川地区地壳结构

采用接收函数反演和共转换点(CCP)偏移叠加成像方法, 利用四川数字地震台网宽频带的52个区域固定地震台站和布设的两条52个宽频带流动地震观测台站的远震地震波形数据资料, 对四川地区地壳结构进行研究。 结果表明, 四川地区的Moho面深度在青藏高原和四川盆地差异明显, 在川西高原地区地壳厚度为52~68 km, 在川滇地块地壳厚度为50~60 km, 在中地壳内存在不连续的低速层分布; 而在四川盆地地壳厚度为38~45 km, 地壳内没有低速层存在。 Moho面深度从川西高原的60多公里至四川盆地的约40 km, 在二者的交界处龙门山断裂带下面, 存在厚度约30 km左右宽的下降过渡带, 说明其下的Moho面可能受断层影响, 结构比较复杂; 在高原地区的上地壳界面和下地壳上界面比四川盆地的相应界面深; 高原地区在中地壳的上部有不连续的低速层分布, 在松潘—甘孜地块的上地壳下部存在向南东运动的脆性推覆体, 在羌塘—理塘地块的上地壳下部存在向南东和南运动的脆性物质流动。     

利用远震接收函数揭示的喜马拉雅东构造结台阵下方地壳结构及其动力学意义

在喜马拉雅造山带的东缘,雅鲁藏布江缝合带在这里发生急剧转折,南迦巴瓦变质体快速隆起,然而关于东构造结的形成机制一直未有定论.利用围绕南迦巴瓦峰的48个宽频带地震台站记录的远震数据提取P波接收函数,采用改进的H-κ叠加方法和共转换点叠加方法综合研究了东构造结的地壳厚度、波速比分布和地壳结构特征.结果表明:研究区平均地壳厚度为64.03 km,大部分台站介于60.48~66.55 km范围;平均波速比为1.728,主要集中范围为1.696~1.742.东构造结地壳厚度横向变化剧烈,构造结西端和北端厚而中间薄,东构造结核部Moho面呈现上隆的构造形态,东西向上隆幅度约为6~7 km,南北向的上隆超过9~10 km.东构造结核部地壳上隆减薄可能由高密度、高波速的岩石圈撕裂残片拆沉到上地幔软流圈后重力失衡所致.平均波速比超过1.8的高值异常展布于东构造结的两侧,推测为环东构造结的壳内部分熔融体.东构造结地壳上隆减薄和壳内部分熔融的存在很可能均与幔源热物质的上涌有关,而软流圈地幔的上涌则可能由印度板片的撕裂引起.     

用转换函数方法研究喜马拉雅地区速度结构

利用流动数字地震台网提供的三分量地震波形记录,应用转换函数及快速模拟退火算法对喜马拉雅山脉地区46个地震站下的地壳横波速度结构进行了反演,为进一步揭示青藏高原喜马拉雅山脉地区的动力学演化过程提供了可靠的地球物理证据.根据本文结果可清晰看到,喜马拉雅山脉地区作为当今地壳活动最活跃的地区,物质交换非常活跃,地下结构远远未达到平衡,地壳速度有很大差异,在板块边界处莫霍界面速度间断不是非常明显,自喜马拉雅南坡向高原腹地,地壳厚度大致从55 km增加到80 km;沿经度方向,莫霍面也有一定的起伏.通过研究得到另外一个证据是,在喜马拉雅的主中央逆冲断裂,由大陆碰撞产生的主要构造,其深度可能要大于80 km.     

Crustal structure of northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau by receiver function inversion

Using seismic data of about one year recorded by 18 broadband stations of ASCENT project,we obtained 2547 receiver functions in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau.The Moho depths under 14 stations were calculated by applying the H-κ domain search algorithm.The Moho depths under the stations with lower signal-noise ratio(SNR) were estimated by the time delay of the PS conversion.Results show that the Moho depth varies in a range of ~40–60 km.The Moho near the Haiyuan fault is vague,and its depth is larger than those on its two sides.In the Qinling-Qilian Block,the Moho becomes shallower gradually from west to east.To the east of 105°E,the average depth of the Moho is 45 km,whereas the west is 50 km or even deeper.Combining our results with surface wave research,we suggest a boundary between the Qinling and the Qilian Mountains at around 105°E.S wave velocities beneath 15 stations have been obtained through a linear inversion by using Crust2.0 as an initial model,and the crustal thickness that was derived by H-κ domain search algorithm was also taken into account.The results are very similar to the results of previous active source studies.The resulting figure indicates that low velocity layers developed in the middle and lower crust beneath the transition zone of the Tibet Block and western Qinling,which may be related to regional faults and deep earth dynamics.The velocity of the middle and lower crust increases from the Songpan Block to the northeastern margin of Tibetan Plateau.Based on the velocity of the crust,the distribution of the low velocity zone and the composition of the curst(Poisson's ratio),we infer that the crust thickening results from the crust shortening along the direction of compression.     

3D Crustal and Lithospheric Structures in the Southeastern Mediterranean and Northeastern Egypt

Crustal and lithospheric thicknesses of the southeastern Mediterranean Basin region were determined using 3D Bouguer and elevation data analysis. The model is based on the assumption of local isostatic equilibrium. The calculated regional and residual Bouguer anomaly maps were employed for highlighting both deep and shallow structures. Generally, the regional field in the area under study is considered to be mainly influenced by the density contrast between the crust and upper mantle. Use of the gravity and topographic data with earthquake focal depths has improved both the geometry and the density distribution in the 3-D calculated profiles. The oceanic-continental boundary, the basement relief, Moho depth and lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary maps were estimated. The results point to the occurrence of thick continental crust areas with a thickness of approximately 32 km in northern Egypt. Below the coastal regions, the thickness of crust decreases abruptly (transition zone). An inverse correlation between sediment and crustal thicknesses shows up from the study. Furthermore, our density model reveals the existence of a continental crustal zone below the Eratosthenes Seamount block. Nevertheless, the crustal type beneath the Levantine basin is typically oceanic; this is covered by sedimentary sequences more than 14 km thick. The modeled Moho map shows a depth of 28–30 km below Cyprus and a depth of 26–28 km beneath the south Florence Rise in the northern west. However, the Moho lies at a constant shallow depth of 22–24 km below the Levantine Basin, which indicates thinning of the crust beneath this region. The Moho map reveals also a maximum depth of about 33–35 km beneath both the northern Egypt and northern Sinai, both of which are of the continental crust. The resulting mantle density anomalies suggest important variations of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) topography, indicating prominent lithospheric mantle thinning beneath south Cyprus (LAB ~90 km depth), followed by thickening beneath the Eratosthenes seamount, Florence Rise, Levantine Basin and reaching to maximum thickness below Cyprian Arc (LAB ~115–120 km depth), and further followed by thinning in the north African margin plate and north Sinai subplate (LAB ~90–95 km depth). According to our density model profiles, we find that almost all earthquakes in the study area occurred along the western and central segments of the Cyprian arc while they almost disappear along the eastern segment. The active subduction zone in the Cyprian Arc is associated with large negative anomalies due to its low velocity upper mantle zone, which might be an indication of a serpentinized mantle. This means that collision between Cyprus and the Eratosthenes Seamount block is marked by seismic activity. Additionally, this block is in the process of dynamically subsiding, breaking-up and being underthrusted beneath Cyprus to the north and thrusted onto the Levantine Basin to the south.     

A notch structure on the Moho beneath the Eastern San Gabriel Mountains

Synthetic waveform modeling of the anomalous receiver functions for two stations in the eastern San Gabriel Mountains, California, suggests that a flat-topped notch structure exists on the Moho. North of the San Andreas Fault (SAF), the Moho depth is 36–38 km and is 33–35 km south of the San Gabriel Fault (SGF), but in-between under the Mt. Baldy block, it is only  29 km. The inferred notch structure is also supported by the Pms arrival times along the SCSN and the LARSE I profiles. The shallow Moho block correlates well with the surficial exposure of the lower plate Pelona Schist or where it resides at very shallow depth. The large Moho offsets across the two major faults can be either related to differential uplifting reflected by the difference in the denudation rate and the exposure of the lower plate Pelona Schist, or it can be the result of the juxtaposition of the distinctive terranes with initially different Moho depth due to the strike-slip movements along the two major faults.     

川西地区壳幔结构与汶川MS8.0级地震的孕震背景

收集了四川数字地震台网记录的57个远震事件,并从宽频带数字化三分量地震记录中计算出了马尔康（MEK）、都江堰（YZP）、中江（JJS）、江油（ZJG）、广元（YTS）、康定（GDS）、汉源（XJP）、雅安（MDS）、峨眉山（EMS）、沐川（WMP）、仁寿（YGD）、荣县（HMS）等12个台站下方的远震P波径向接收函数.另外,引入地震勘探中的动校正技术,将各台的接收函数校正到67°的参考震中距处,然后对接收函数进行叠加以增强信号,并把叠加接收函数作为台站下方的平均接收函数.最后,利用台站下的平均接收函数反演得到S波速度结构.反演结果表明：以锦屏山—龙门山断裂为界,其西侧地壳厚达70 km,而东侧仅为50 km左右,Moho面在断裂下方形成了一个陡坎;川西地区的地壳速度结构与川中地区差异较大,主要表现在川西地区的中地壳存在厚度为8~22 km的低速层.在都江堰、雅安一带,低速层的厚度最大,其厚度在20~22 km之间,其上地壳为一个坚硬固体,在区域构造应力场作用下,形成了孕育大地震的构造环境.     

长江中下游成矿带及邻区三维Moho面结构:来自人工源宽角地震资料的约束

为深入理解长江中下游地区在中生代成矿的深部动力学过程,对跨越宁芜矿集区地质廊带内的非纵剖面反射/折射地震数据进行动校正和时深转换处理,获得了非纵方向的Moho面深度;联合纵测线和非纵测线上Moho面深度数据,获得了长江中下游成矿带及邻区的三维Moho面深度结构.结果显示宁芜矿集区下方的Moho面整体较浅,约32~34km,华北块体合肥盆地内Moho面整体较深,约34~35km.Moho面深度和区域布格重力异常变化趋势对应良好.宁芜矿集区下方Moho面呈上隆特征,支持长江中下游地区成矿模式中增厚岩石圈发生拆沉、软流圈的上隆及底侵作用等动力学过程.Moho面平行于成矿带走向的变化趋势,预示长江中下游成矿带地壳和上地幔在板块边界发生了NE-SW向的切向流动变形.郯庐断裂带两侧,Moho面深度变化较大,表明地表近陡立的郯庐断裂为深大断裂,深部可能切穿Moho面并延伸至上地幔.
