Vp and Vp/Vs structures in the crust and upper mantle of the Taiwan region, China

A tomographic study of the V _p and V _p/V _s structures in the crust and upper mantle beneath the Taiwan region of China is conducted by simultaneous inversion of P and S arrival times. Compared with the previous tomographic results, the spherical finite difference technique is suitable for the strong heterogeneous velocity structure, and may improve the accuracy in the travel time and three-dimensional ray tracing calculations. The V _p and V _p/V _s structures derived from joint inversion and the relocated earthquakes can provide better constraints for analyzing the lateral heterogeneity and deep tectonic characters in the crust and upper mantle. Our tomographic results reveal significant relations between the seismic wavespeed structure and the tectonic characters. In the shallow depth, sedimentary basins and orogen show distinct wavespeed anomalies, with low V _p, high V _p/V _s in basins and high V _p, low V _p/V _s in orogen. As the suture zone of Eurasian Plate and Philippine Sea Plate, Longitudinal Valley is characterized by a significant high V _p/V _s anomaly extending to the middle-lower crust and upper mantle, which reflects the impact of rock cracking, partial melting, and the presence of fluids. In the northeast Taiwan, the V _p, V _p/V _s anomalies and relocated earthquakes depict the subducting Philippine Sea Plate under the Eurasian Plate. The high V _p of oceanic plate and the low V _p, high V _p/V _s atop the subducted oceanic plate extend to 80 km depth. Along the east-west profiles, the thickness of crust reaches 60 km at the east of Central Range with eastward dipping trend, which reveals the eastward subduction of the thickened and deformed crust of the Eurasian continental plate.

Application of Fisher method to discriminating earthquakes and explosions using criterion m b/ M S

We try to give a quantitative and global discrimination function by studying m _b/M _S data using Fisher method that is a kind of pattern recognition methods. The reliability of the function is also analyzed. The results show that this criterion works well and has a global feature, which can be used as first-level filtering criterions in event identification. The quantitative and linear discrimination function makes it possible to identify events automatically and achieve the goal to react the events quickly and effectively.

玛曲MS4.4地震震源机制解及其构造意义探讨

2021年5月22日青海省玛多县发生M_S7.4地震,数小时后在距离震中两百多公里的甘肃玛曲县发生了M_S4.4地震。利用甘肃、青海和四川区域测震台网记录的三分向宽频带数字波形资料,反演甘肃玛曲M_S4.4地震的震源机制解,结果显示此次地震活动面走向、倾角和滑动角分别为105.6°、74.1°和-38.7°。参考玛多M_S7.4地震的震源机制解,发现两次地震震源机制解具有较好的一致性,均呈现明显的左旋走滑特征。静态库伦破裂应力改变量分布计算结果表明,玛曲M_S4.4地震震中位置单位面积(m~2)受到来自玛多地震震中方向的拉应力约为0.02 MPa。综合两次地震的震中距、发震时刻和断层分布等情况,初步判断甘肃玛曲M_S4.4地震应为青海玛多M_S7.4强震的一次触发地震。     

2003年10月25日民乐-山丹6.1、5.8级地震烈度和发震构造特征

2022年门源MS6.9和2016年门源MS6.4地震序列比较分析

2022年1月8日青海省海北州门源县发生M_S6.9地震,震中距离2016年1月21日门源M_S6.4地震震中约33km,两次门源地震均发生在冷龙岭断裂附近,但在震源机制、主发震断层破裂过程及地震序列余震活动等方面显著不同。针对两次门源地震序列的比较分析,对研究冷龙岭断裂及其附近区域强震序列和余震衰减特征等具有重要研究意义。通过对比分析2022年门源M_S6.9地震和2016年门源M_S6.4地震余震的时空演化特征,发现二者在震源过程和断层破裂尺度上存在明显差异,前者发震断层破裂充分,震后能量释放充分,余震丰富且震级偏高;而后者发震断层未破裂至地表,余震震级水平偏低。综合分析两次门源地震序列表现出来的差异性,认为其可能与地震发震断层的破裂过程密切相关,且同时受到区域构造环境的影响。     

1976年松潘、平武7.2级地震前后甘肃一侧震情监视的回顾

在重新全面深入收集整理历史档案和资料的基础上,回顾性研究总结了1976年8月16-23日松潘、平武两次7.2级地震的监测预报和防震抗震工作。研究表明,对于该次地震甘肃省和四川省地震工作者从中期预测开始,到短期、临震阶段,从地震预测到强震观测,组织开展了诸多有成效的工作。使松潘地震这个称之为重要的成功预报的实例,在我国地震工作发展史的记载中有更加充实、完整和科学的记载。并根据修订过的中国地震台网中心国家科学数据共享中心数据库给出的地震系列参数,对该次地震命名提出商榷,认为这次地震应当称之为"松潘-文县地震",或"平武-文县地震"或"松潘-文县-平武地震"更为妥当。     

2017年九寨沟7.0级地震前应力状态及b值异常特征研究

2017年8月8日青藏高原东缘四川九寨沟地区发生7.0级强震,依据前人研究结果分析九寨沟7.0级地震发震构造,并计算震前应力状态。结果显示:本次地震受到构造和历史强震的影响,是发生在历史强震引起的应力加载区域。另外,采用中国地震台网1990年以来的地震目录,在评估目录完整性的基础上,利用最大似然法计算得到2017年8月8日九寨沟7.0级地震前震源区及邻区地震b值空间图像。结果显示,九寨沟7.0级地震发生在四川北部地区显著低b值高应力异常区域内部(0.82b0.75)。所以,研究区域内外历史强震可能促进了九寨沟7.0级地震的发生。     

2012年5月3日甘肃金塔MS5.4地震矩张量反演

使用甘肃省测震台网记录的三分向宽频带长周期数字波形资料,在时间域反演2012年5月3日甘肃金塔5.4级地震的矩张量解,并与Harvard大学CMT解进行比较。结合该地区的地质资料和构造背景,分析金塔地震的发震成因。结果显示震源性质为走滑型,断层破裂面走向为166°、倾角66°、滑动角-168°,P轴走向为32°,与金塔地震余震分布和地震破坏分布情况大体一致,由此推测金塔地震的发震断层可能为神螺山-野马井断层。

Lg coda Q0 value and its relation with the tectonics in Chinese mainland and adjacent regions

We have collected 432 vertical component records from 45 stations of new CENC （China Earthquake Network Center） in Chinese mainland and adjacent regions. These records were used to calculate Q0 （Q at 1Hz） and η values of Lg coda from each station by the stack spectral ratio （SSR） method. Then the tomography method was applied to obtaining lateral variation of Q0 and η values in Chinese mainland and adjacent regions. The result indicates that Q0 value varies between 150 and 600 in the studied areas. Yunnan, southwest Sichuan, and northwest Myanmar show the lowest Q0 value （Q0〈240） and the crust of these regions is characterized by complicated crack and strong hydrothermal activity. The highest Q0 value （Qo〉510） exists in the border of southern Mongolia, Alxa and Ordos block. The η value varies between 0.45 and 0.75 in Chinese mainland and its adjacent regions.

Moment Magnitude and Its Calculation

In this paper, we give a brief introduction to the proposal and development history of the earthquake magnitude concept. Moment magnitude M_W is the best physical quantity for measuring earthquakes. Compared with other magnitude scales used traditionally, moment magnitude is not saturated for all earthquakes, regardless of big and small earthquakes, deep and shallow earthquakes, far field and near field seismic data, geodetic and geological data, moment magnitude can be measured, and can be connected with well-known magnitude scales such as surface wave magnitude M_S. Moment magnitude is a uniform magnitude scale, which is suitable for statistics with wide magnitude range. Moment magnitude is the preferred magnitude selected by the International Seismological community, and it is preferred by the departments responsible for publishing seismic information to the public.Moment magnitude is a uniform magnitude scale, which is suitable for statistics with wide magnitude range. Moment magnitude is a preferred magnitude for international seismology, it is preferred by the agency responsible for providing information about earthquakes to the public. We provide all formulas used in the calculation of moment magnitude, and the calculation steps in detail. We also analyzed some problems and rules to solve these problems by using different formulas and numerical value calculation steps.     

2016年10月20日射阳MS4.4地震前地下流体典型异常特征及其前兆机理分析

分析2016年10月20日射阳M_S4.4地震前地下流体典型异常特征并对其机理进行讨论。该地震前的地下流体前兆异常（1）从时间进程看可分为中期趋势背景异常和短期异常;（2）从空间演化上看,在中期趋势背景阶段,异常分布在离震中300 km范围内,其在起始时间上表现为从震中向外围迁移继而向震中靠拢的特点。相较于中期趋势背景阶段异常;短期异常在空间上向震中收缩,分布在离震中100~200 km范围内,其在起始时间上,表现为向震中靠拢的特点。井水温异常变化可能是区域应力加载作用的产物,而离子浓度的变化可能是水岩反应加剧引起的。     

九寨沟M_S7.0地震震源机制解及构造应力场研究

2017年8月8日四川九寨沟县发生M_S7.0地震。根据中国地震台网固定台站的记录波形,利用gCAP方法和P波初动符号反演方法求解了主震的震源机制解,其结果与哈佛CMT震源机制解、美国地质勘探局发布的震源机制以及中国地震局发布的各震源机制解有很好的一致性。此外,还求解了九寨沟地震震中附近2010—2016年间28次小震的震源机制解,利用得到的小震震源机制解反演了该区域的构造应力场。结果表明,这一区域构造应力场的最大应力轴与最小应力轴均为水平方向,其中最大应力轴方向为NWW方向,最小应力轴方向为SSW方向。

岷县-漳县MS6.6地震前后甘肃前兆异常及响应特征

分析总结了2013年7月22日甘肃岷县—漳县MS6.6地震前后甘肃前兆台网观测资料变化情况,发现该地震前有7个台站、4种观测手段、14个测项出现了明显的异常,既有长期、中长期异常,也有短期和短临异常,说明对资料的分析既要看短期变化,还要看中期和长期变化。出现异常测点的震中距多数在200 km范围之内。另外部分水位、流量和水温测点的资料记录到不同程度的同震效应;形变观测多数测点记录到比较明显的同震响应,记录同震响应的测点与震中位置、方向、距离无明显关系。     

微囊藻CO2-浓缩机制基因型的动态变化及其对CO2的竞争效应

由于具有高效的CO₂-浓缩机制,蓝藻在低CO₂浓度条件下具有竞争优势。然而,随着大气中CO₂浓度急剧增加,蓝藻CO₂-浓缩机制如何响应的研究较少。因此,本文以常见水华蓝藻——微囊藻为研究对象,通过对滇池微囊藻水华动态及不同CO₂-浓缩机制基因型进行监测,探讨蓝藻CO₂-浓缩机制基因的微进化特征及其动态变化。同时,设置高(0.08%)、中(0.04%)、低(0.02%)CO₂浓度(V/V)进一步揭示微囊藻不同CO₂-浓缩机制基因微进化对CO₂的竞争效应。结果表明:滇池无机碳浓度在4个采样点存在空间差异性,均呈现先降低后升高的趋势,并以HCO₃^-为主要无机碳存在形式。调查期间,东大河、观音山、洛龙河和生态所4个采样点的微囊藻均以sbtA基因型占绝对优势,相对丰度远高于bicA基因型。在不同水华时期,bicA基因型和sbtA基因型呈现相反的变化趋势,即从...     

Use of mode-converted waves in marine seismic data to investigate the lithology of the sub-bottom sediments in Isfjorden,Svalbard

The compression wavefield is efficiently converted to shear-wave energy at post-critical angles in areas of high impedance contrast at the sea floor. We have analysed mode-converted shear waves in a data set acquired with a hybrid marine/land geometry in Isfjorden, Svalbard. Through a kinematic 2D ray-tracing modellingV _p/V_s ratios for part of the uppermost 5km of the crust are obtained. Low values (V _p /V _s =1.65) are tentatively associated with the section of Devonian sandstones which appears to attain a minimum thickness of 1.5km below 3 km depth about 10km west of Kapp Thorden.
