RUPTURE CHARACTERISTICS OF LATE QUATERNARY STRONG EARTHQUAKES ON THE WESTERN BRANCH OF THE XIAOJIANG FAULT ZONE

The Xiaojiang fault zone is located in the southeastern margin of the Tibetan plateau, the boundary faults of Sichuan-Yunnan block and South China block. The largest historical earthquake in Yunnan Province, with magnitude 8 occurred on the western branch of the Xiaojiang Fault in Songming County, 1833. Research on the Late Quaternary surface deformation and strong earthquake rupture behavior on the Xiaojiang Fault is crucial to understand the future seismic risk of the fault zone and the Sichuan-Yunnan region, even crucial for the study of tectonic evolution of the southeastern margin of Tibetan plateau. We have some new understanding through several large trenches excavated on the western branch of the Xiaojiang fault zone. We excavated a large trench at Caohaizi and identified six paleoseismic events, named U through Z from the oldest to the youngest. Ages of these six events are constrained at 40000-36300BC, 35400-24800BC, 9500BC-500AD, 390-720AD, 1120-1620AD and 1750AD-present. The Ganhaizi trench revealed three paleoearthquakes, named GHZ-E1 to GHZ-E3 from the oldest to the youngest. Ages of the three events are constrained at 3300BC-400AD, 770-1120AD, 1460AD-present. The Dafendi trench revealed three paleoearthquakes, named E1 to E3 from the oldest to the youngest, and their ages are constrained at 22300-19600BC, 18820-18400BC, and 18250-present. Caohaizi and Ganhaizi trenches are excavated on the western branch of the Xiaojiang Fault, the distance between them is 400m. We constrained four late Holocene paleoearthquakes with progressive constraining method, which are respectively at 500-720AD, 770-1120AD, AD 1460-1620 and 1833AD, with an average recurrence interval of 370~440a. Large earthquake recurrence in the late Holocene is less than the recurrence interval of~900a as proposed in the previous studies. Thus, the seismic hazard on the Xiaojiang Fault should be reevaluated. We excavated a large trench at Dafendi, about 30km away south of Caohaizi trench. Combining with previous paleoseismological research, it is found that the western branch of Xiaojiang Fault was likely to be dominated by segmented rupturing in the period from late of Late Pleistocene to early and middle Holocene, while it was characterized by large earthquakes clustering and whole segment rupturing since late Holocene.     

龙门山断裂带晚第四纪的大地震活动——来自古地震研究的资料

2018年5·12汶川地震后,龙门山断裂带的大地震活动特征一直是倍受关注的科学问题.而探槽古地震研究是最直接揭示活断层带晚第四纪大地震活动规律的重要途径.本文通过系统总结龙门山断裂带近十年来探槽古地震研究成果,全面分析了龙门山断裂带不同段落的晚第四纪大地震活动与复发特征.结果显示：龙门山断裂带的大地震活动具有明显的分段性,北川—映秀断裂和江油—灌县断裂中段（包括小鱼洞断裂）是全新世以来,最为活跃的段落,约距今6000年以来,发生过3次位移量近似相等的事件,分别发生在5920—5730 cal BP和3300—2300 cal BP,大地震活动具有3000年左右的准周期复发特征;北川—映秀断裂的北段具有独立破裂的能力,该段汶川地震前一次事件发生在大约665—1030 AD,可能是历史上记载的942 AD地震事件,另一次事件发生在8240—7785 BC;江油—灌县断裂的南段（大川—双石断裂）发震能力明显弱于断裂带中段和北段.现有古地震数据表明,沿北川—映秀断裂,除汶川地震以外,并未显示出不同段落间在全新世期间存在级联破裂的证据,这可能意味着2008年汶川M8地震是龙门山断裂带上罕见的巨大地震事件.另外,青川断裂上探槽揭露的古地震变形事件不像是断裂直接位错的结果,更可能是被动响应北川—映秀断裂右旋位错的现象.     

USING UAV PHOTOGRAMMETRY TECHNOLOGY TO EXTRACT INFORMATION OF TECTONIC ACTIVITY OF COMPLEX ALLUVIAL FAN——A CASE STUDY OF AN ALLUVIAL FAN IN THE SOUTHERN MARGIN OF BARKOL BASIN

Alluvial fans that are in the process of development always show complex geomorphic features due to natural modification. Accordingly, analyzing these fans whether to be influenced by tectonic deformation is one of the technique difficulties in active tectonic studies. Complex alluvial fans are the focus of the study of active tectonics such as fracture mapping and activity behavior analysis, for they have often retained important structural information. Traditional measurement methods, such as satellite remote sensing, RTK GPS and Lidar, are difficult to meet the demand for the study of micro tectonic deformation because of the reason of accuracy or cost performance. The recent UAV photogrammetry technology, due to its many advantages such as low cost, high resolution, and efficiency of exporting DEM and DOM data, has been widely used in three-dimensional modeling, ground mapping and other fields. In the quantitative study of active tectonics, this technology fills up the deficiency in the research of the micro structure of the traditional measurement. Through detailed field investigations and paleoseismic trenching, we further used this technology to obtain the topographic data of a complex alluvial fan located at the southern marginal fault of Barkol Basin, Xinjiang. Pointing at the alluvial fans that are in the process of development, and on the basis of topographic analysis and image processing for DEM, we take the research method of secondary partitions of the geomorphic surface and cut the alluvial fans longitudinally according to the difference of its age. Through the establishment of profile cluster within each partition, separate analysis and data contrast with the adjacent partitions, we acquired the tectonic activity information during the development of alluvial fan. The tectonic vertical deformation of this alluvial fan is about 2.5m.     

2016年12月8日新疆呼图壁MS6.2地震发震构造初步研究

2016年12月8日呼图壁县发生M_S6.2地震,由于初始定位误差较大,余震序列分布离散,对呼图壁地震的发震断层尚不清楚。本研究采用CAP方法反演主震及余震中M_S ≥ 3.5地震的震源机制解,并采用双差定位方法对余震进行重定位,得到了637个地震的震源参数。结果显示,呼图壁地震主震的最佳双力偶节面解为：节面Ⅰ走向82°,倾角18°,滑动角61°;节面Ⅱ走向292°,倾角74°,滑动角98°。其中节面Ⅱ为本次地震的破裂面。重定位后,主震的震源位置被重定为（86.36°E,43.79°N）,震源深度14 km,根据余震的分布特点、震源机制解特征和区域构造特征,呼图壁地震的发震断层并不是南倾的准噶尔南缘断裂,而是在其北边的霍尔果斯-玛纳斯-吐谷鲁断裂带上的一个反冲断层。在北天山区域内,由于构造反转的作用,存在诸多倾角在45°~55°之间的北倾的断层。根据GPS的资料显示,天山北部地区的应力在新生代晚期已开始积累,这增加了天山北部前缘的发震概率。

贵州省烂泥沟金矿大角度斜直深孔绳索取心钻探技术

矿产资源勘查随着程度的提高和深度的增加,对于钻孔防斜保直要求越来越高。贵州省烂泥沟金矿2021年度勘查设计7个超过千米的大角度斜直孔(顶角20°～32°之间),要求每百米顶角和方位角偏斜均不超过1°,绳索取心工艺仅靠传统方式难以保证该精度。项目实施过程中,钻探施工单位采用光面扶正器和液动冲击钻进方式进行防斜保直;采用调整钻具组合、短距反复切削、换径重复导向扩孔方式进行升降顶角;采用正反交替钻进方式进行纠方位。通过上述措施有效地达到了预期目标,所形成的经验对于类似大角度斜直深孔取心钻探具有一定借鉴价值。     

Formation and evolution of the tertiary carbonate reefs in the Madura Strait Basin of Indonesia

Analysis of 2 D seismic data over 4 500 km in length from the Madura Strait Basin in the East Java Sea reveals seismic re?ection characteristics of reefs and associated sedimentary bodies, including asymmetrical or symmetrical dome re?ections, slope progradational re?ections, chaotic re?ections and discontinuous strong re?ections inside the reef, which onlap the ?ank of the reef. It is concluded that the developmental paleo-environment of most reefs is mainly conducive to shallow marine carbonate platform facies and platform margin facies, based on well core data, variations in seismic facies and strata thickness.The formation and evolution of all reefs are primarily in?uenced by the tectonic framework of the Madura Strait Basin. Platform margin reefs are principally controlled by two types of structures: one is a series of E-W trending Paleogene normal faults, and the other is an E-W trending Neogene inversion structures. In addition, wave actions, tidal currents and other ocean currents play an accelerated role in sorting, rounding and redeposition for the accumulation and evolution of reefs. Tertiary reefs in the MSB can be divided into four types: 1) an open platform coral reef of Late Oligocene to Early Miocene, 2) a platform margin coral reef controlled by normal faults in Late Oligocene to Early Miocene, 3) a platform margin Globigerina moundreef controlled by a "hidden" inversion structure in Early Pliocene, and 4) a platform margin Globigerina mound-reef controlled by thrust faults in the early Pliocene. Patterns of the formation and evolution of reefs are also suggested.
