由地震Ｐ波初动符号资料，求解得到１９９５年１０月２４日武定６．５级地震序主震及２１外强余震的震源机制解。主震的两个节面走向分别为北西西向，倾向ＮＮＥ，倾角７０°；另一个节面走向为北北东，倾向Ｗ，倾角７７°；等效释放应力场主压力力方位为３２４°，仰角２４°。表明与区域应力场基本一致的主要震震源应力场及发震断裂控制着整个序列的地震活动。     

用震源机制解确定东北地区地壳应力场

利用中、强震震源机制资料和区域小震平均解给出了中国东北地区地壳应力场的分布。由多个震源机制的平均结果得到,东北南部地区(42°30’以南)主压应力方向为NE70°。东北中部地区(吉林省和黑龙江省东南部)主压应力方向近似NE100°,它与深源地震震源机制解P轴一致,可能该区应力场分布受深源地震影响,东北北部地区(黑龙江省和内蒙北部)主压应力方向为NE58°。东北地区浅源地震震源机制解P轴仰角大多数小于30°,表明该区以水平应力为主。由震源机制结果也讨论了中国东北地区地震断层活动状况。     

晋北地区中强震前后构造应力场变化特征

基于1990年1月至2021年12月晋北地区中小地震的P波初动极性数据,采用综合震源机制解法反演晋北地区的综合断层面解。结果显示,震源机制解节面为EW和NE向,与晋北地区主要构造线一致;震源错动类型以正断型为主;主压应力方向为NE-NEE,仰角较大,主张应力方向为NW-SE,仰角近水平,与区域构造应力场方向吻合。综合断层面解中,P轴方位与区域优势方位一致时,晋北地区可能孕育中强地震的发生。     

燕山-渤海地震带的现今构造应力环境

应用中小地震的震源机制解资料,分析了燕山-渤海地震带现今构造应力场总体与分区特征.分析发现,该带现今构造应力场总体方向为:主压应力轴方位大约为70～80°,主张应力轴方位大约为340～350°;该带现今以水平、近于水平兼有一定斜向作用的主压应力为主.同时,结合有关资料分析了该带的地震活动.

以格点尝试法求解的小区域平均震源机制解资料，研究了１９８３年菏泽５．９级地震前、后震源附近及其外围不同区域应力场的变化，发现震前震中附近约３°×３°范围内小震应力场有异常变化，开始出现时间为震前５－６年。主要表现为主压应力轴Ｐ轴向大区域应力场方向“集中”继而“转向”、恢复－发震的变化过程，主张应力轴Ｔ轴仰角和矛盾符号比也出现时间上大体同步的变化，且震源附近与外围区变化特点不同。反映了震源附近复杂的物理过程及源区与场区应力场的动态变化差异。

本文利用宁夏及其邻区地震台网记录的18099个初动符号,以单个地震震源机制解和小震综合解的平均解,求得7个小区的区域构造应力场。全区主压应力场的平均方位为39°左右。各小区的平均主压应力方位为:西(吉)、海(原)、固(原)地区60°;银川平原及石咀山地区42°;石咀山以北、以西地区26°;(中)卫、(中)宁地区17°。各区均以来自西南方向的压应力为主。并认为当弱震活动带走向与主压应力方位成25°—30°夹角时,未来在这些条带上发生中强地震的可能性较大     

2003—2008年新疆区域构造应力场特征探讨

给出了2003—2008年新疆74次MS≥4.5地震的震源机制解。分析了该期间震源机制反映出的新疆区域应力场特征,并结合1990—2008年的地震活动图像和区域应力场进行了讨论。结果认为:1990—2003年与2004—2008年新疆MS≥5地震活动空间分布图像存在较大的差异性;震源机制得到的主压应力P轴方位为NNW向,与新疆近SN向的背景应力场和作者前期给出的NNE向结果略有差异,反映出不同时期新疆大区域应力场的变化特点;中强地震震源机制主压应力P轴仰角的大小变化与新疆地震活动的强弱相关性明显。     

云南禄劝地震震源处的应力场求解

采用前人反演得到的云南禄劝地震的地震矩张量和主震及部分余震的震源机制解,以该主震震中为中心在全球CMT目录中查询到的部分地震的震源机制解,先将地震矩张量转化为震源机制解,运用精细网格搜索反演方法将震源机制解反演得到禄劝地震和其周边地区的应力场。对反演得出的两个应力场进行差异性对比研究,结果表明禄劝地震震源处主压应力场为NNW—SSE向,主压应力与主张应力相当,周边地区的主压应力方向为NW—SE,断层破裂面倾角大,以走滑正断层为主,主压应力占优势。但是由于云南地区主要由NNW—SSE和NW—SE方向的主压应力控制,并受本文所选的周边地区的经纬度及所处地区的控制,所以该区域在总体上受NW—SE方向的压应力控制,局部地区受NNW—SSE方向的压应力控制。该结果可以用来分析该地区的地震地质背景和断层形成条件,对地球动力环境的研究有一定的意义。     

宁夏南部地区地震活动特征

研究了宁夏南部地区（35°20＇～37°40＇N，104°30＇～106°30＇E）小震综合机制解的变化特征．发现在中强地震前，该地区小震综合机制解的P轴方位偏离平均值，向E或SE偏转，其仰角有增大的趋势，同时小震纵波（Pn和Pg）初动符号一致．6次中强地震的震源机制解表明，该地区P轴方位与主压应力方向基本一致，因此该地区发生破坏性地震的可能性不大．近几年来的地震活动图像显示，该地区的地震活动有向中卫、中宁和同心地区集中的迹象．     

2020年云南巧家M5.0地震震源机制解与震源区应力场研究

基于国家测震台网数据中心提供的波形资料,采用gCAP方法反演2020年5月18日云南巧家M5.0地震及研究区域51次地震震源机制解,并收集研究区域震源机制解50个。采用网格搜索法反演区域构造应力场,并对研究区域采用不同划分进行应力场反演。获得以下结论：(1)主震震源机制解节面Ⅰ的走向、倾角和滑动角分别为175°、 67°和-19°,节面Ⅱ的走向、倾角和滑动角分别为273°、 73°和-156°,矩震级为4.97,矩心深度为8.8 km。表明主震属于兼具逆冲分量的走滑型地震;(2)震后区域应力场主压应力轴方位为NWW,倾角接近水平,主张应力轴方位为NNE,倾角接近水平,属于走滑型应力状态,与周边地质构造运动状态相吻合;(3)对研究区域采用不同划分所得应力场结果相差不大,表明该区域应力场比较稳定,受深大断裂带和震源机制解类型影响较小。     

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.
