Refined Locations of The Swarm Earthquakes In The Nový Kostel Focal Zone and Spatial Distribution of The January 1997 Swarm In Western Bohemia,Czech Republic

In order to improve the accuracy of the spatial distribution of earthquake foci in the principal Novy Kostel focal zone, refined focal locations of about 1500 micro-earthquakes of the 1991 – 1997 period were determined using the relative Master-Event location method. To estimate the reduction in the scatter of located hypocentres, the results were compared with those obtained by routinely used FASTHYPO method and cluster analysis (the nearest-neighbour method) was applied to the located foci to evaluate the spatial distribution of the foci. Based on the results of refined location and of the cluster analysis, a concept of seismic energy release in space and time in the main focal zone was developed. Especially the January 1997 earthquake swarm was studied in detail: 946 events were located with the Master-Event location method, and the dimensions and geometry of focal clusters were determined. Type analysis was applied to waveforms to divide approximately 800 located events into eight multiplet groups to each of which a characteristic source mechanism was assigned. The spatial distribution of the foci as well as of the eight types of source mechanisms was revealed in this way and also the planes fitting the clusters of foci with two predominant source mechanisms were determined fairly well.

A RESTUDY OF THE SEISMOGENIC FAULTS OF THE 2014 LUDIAN MS6.5 EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE

Differently from the existing studies, about 210 days of the original seismic recordings since the Ludian M_S6.5 earthquake are collected from almost all of the nearby stations, and a velocity model and a non-linear location technique are specially selected, in order to relocate the sources of the earthquake sequences. What is more, the same model as used in determining the absolute locations is adopted as the DD technique is used to determine their relative locations. Then the strikes and dips of the seismogenic faults are estimated by linearly fitting the source locations, and finally a new explanation is proposed for the sequence formation. It is shown that the sequence may be divided into 4 sub-areas spatially, each of which corresponds to a nearly vertical fault with but different dimensions and striking azimuths, and that two of them are relatively larger and linked with each other, being the main faults of the sequence, and two others are relatively smaller and separated away from the main faults. These 4 faults, together with the local existing faults, form a radiating-shaped structure reflecting the complicated tectonics, which is very likely to be related with the density variation in lower crust.

Focusing patterns of seismicity with relocation and collapsing

Seismicity is generally concentrated on faults or in fault zones of varying, sometimes complex geometry. An earthquake catalog, compiled over time, contains useful information about this geometry, which can help understanding the tectonics of a region. Interpreting the geometrical distribution of events in a catalog is often complicated by the diffuseness of the earthquake locations. Here, we explore a number of strategies to reduce this diffuseness and hence simplify the seismicity pattern of an earthquake catalog. These strategies utilize information about event locations contained in their overall catalog distribution. They apply this distribution as an a priori constraint on relocations of the events, or as an attractor for each individual event in a collapsing scheme, and thereby focus the locations. The latter strategy is not a relocation strategy in a strict sense, although event foci are moved, because the movements are not driven by data misfit. Both strategies simplify the seismicity pattern of the catalog and may help to interpret it. A synthetic example and a real-data example from an aftershock sequence in south west Iceland are presented to demonstrate application of the strategies. Entropy is used to quantify their effect.

Development and Applications of Double-difference Seismic Tomography

Double-difference (DD) tomography is a generalization of DD location; it simultaneously solves for the three-dimensional velocity structure and seismic event locations. DD tomography uses a combination of absolute and more accurate differential arrival times and hierarchically determines the velocity structure from larger scale to smaller scale. This method is able to produce more accurate event locations and velocity structure near the source region than standard tomography, which uses only absolute arrival times. We conduct a stability and uncertainty analysis of DD tomography based on a synthetic data set. Currently three versions of the DD tomography algorithms exist: tomoDD, tomoFDD and tomoADD. TomoDD assumes a flat earth model and uses a pseudo-bending ray-tracing algorithm to find rays between events and stations while tomoFDD uses a finite-difference travel-time algorithm and the curvature of the Earth is considered. Both codes are based on a regularly distributed inversion grid, with the former for a local scale and the latter for a regional scale. In contrast, tomoADD adapts the inversion mesh to match with the data distribution based on tetrahedral and Voronoi diagrams. We discuss examples of applying DD tomography to characterize fault zone structure, image high-resolution structure of subduction zones, and determine the velocity structure of volcanoes.     

考虑到时误差的地震定位算法及其在四川地区2001-2008年地震定位的应用

精确的地震位置对于地震活动性、地震层析成像和地壳应力场反演具有相当重要的意义,对于地震速报也具有重要的应用价值。将观测到时的不确定性、台站高程、地震震源深度进行约束的同时,根据反演理论给出了地震震源位置精确估计和误差估计的方法。该算法联合考虑Pg波、Sg波、Pn波和Sn波的到时进行反演,数据量的增加可以增强地震位置的准确性,并可同时应用于地方震和区域地震。采用模拟数据对该地震定位算法进行检验发现,该算法在观测数据的不确定性不等时明显优于其他方法。将该算法应用于四川地区2001-2008年间的地震定位,得到的地震位置更加符合地震的丛集性并集中于断裂带附近。这些结果为四川地区的地震活动性、断层构造以及地震层析成像研究打下了基础,并且为汶川地震之前的地震活动前兆研究也提供了有益帮助。     

历史地震之余震参数的复核方法

基于主震和余震属于同一发震构造形成的震源区之原则,提出了历史地震余震参数的复核方法:首先在核实资料的基础上,判断是否属于余震;考虑主震震源区范围,综合确定余震震中位置,当资料不够充分时,也可直接以主震震中代替;按有感半径和区域烈度衰减关系来估算震级值.进而运用以上方法以1604年福建泉州海外7(1/2)级地震、1605年海南琼山7(1/2)级地震和1668年山东郯城-莒县8(1/2)级地震的13次余震为例,探讨了此方法的普适性.结果表明13次余震中有12次地震震中位置和6次地震的震级值发生了变化,使得原有余震参数的不确定性得到了明显改变,判定了主震和余震是属于同一发震构造.这些结果为在相关地区合理识别发震构造创造了条件,也可为今后修编历史地震目录提供参考.

Extending the double-difference location technique to mining applications part I: Numerical study

The location of the seismic event hypocenter is the very first task undertaken when studying any seismological problem. The accuracy of the solution can significantly influence consecutive stages of analysis, so there is a continuous demand for new, more efficient and accurate location algorithms. It is important to recognize that there is no single universal location algorithm which will perform equally well in any situation. The type of seismicity, the geometry of the recording seismic network, the size of the controlled area, tectonic complexity, are the most important factors influencing the performance of location algorithms. In this paper we propose a new location algorithm called the extended double difference (EDD) which combines the insensitivity of the double-difference (DD) algorithm to the velocity structure with the special demands imposed by mining: continuous change of network geometry and a very local recording capability of the network for dominating small induced events. The proposed method provides significantly better estimation of hypocenter depths and origin times compared to the classical and double-difference approaches, the price being greater sensitivity to the velocity structure than the DD approach. The efficiency of both algorithms for the epicentral coordinates is similar.     

Accurate Location of the Yao＇an Earthquake Sequence and the Yongsheng Earthquake Sequence

The Yao＇an Ms6.5 earthquake occurred on Jan. 15, 2000 and the Yongsheng Ms6.0 earthquake occurred on Oct. 27, 2001 in Yunnan Province, China. They are both located in the middle of the Dian block. Their epicenters are close to each other, the tectonic and strain characters of the earthquakes were similar, and there were many aftershocks after the two main shocks. In order to further study the spatial-temporal distributions and fault rupture characters of the main shocks and aftershocks, the latter are located using the Geiger earthquake location algorithm （Geiger） and the double difference earthquake location algorithm （DD） based on the seismic phase data of the two earthquake sequences. They were recorded by two Near Source Digital Seismic Networks （YNSSN and YSNSSN） deployed by the Yunnan Seismological Bureau （YNSB）. Then, two main shock parameters were relocated using DD based on the data of larger magnitude aftershocks and the two main shocks that were recorded by the Kunming Regional Digital Seismic Network （KMSN）. Combining the spatial- temporal distributions of the two earthquake sequences, the tectonic and strain characters of earthquakes, the rupture processes of the two aftershock sequences along faults are analyzed and discussed contrastively.

区域一维速度模型对地震定位的定量影响

利用2017年8月1日至2017年12月31日四川地震台网和甘肃地震台网记录到的发生在青藏高原东缘的731个地震事件的9 284条Pg震相到时数据,首先反演了该地区的“最小一维速度模型”,并将该模型和选取的速度模型建立对比模型,以九寨沟地震序列为研究目标,定量讨论了两种速度模型分别在绝对定位和相对定位方法中对定位结果的影响。所得定位结果表明:反演获得的“最小一维速度模型”在重定位中可以有效地减小地震走时均方根残差;绝对定位比相对定位更加依赖于一维速度模型,一维速度模型会直接影响绝对定位结果中的震源分布形态,但在相对定位结果中仅起到调整地震事件相对位置的作用;在地震绝对定位中,震级越大的地震对于速度模型越敏感,而这一特点在相对定位中表现得并不明显。通过本项研究可知,在地震定位研究中,联合采用绝对定位和相对定位方法是最佳策略。
