Huanghe (Yellow River) and its estuary: Sediment origin, transport and deposition

The upper part of the Huanghe (Yellow River) drainage basin supplies 50–60% of the annual water discharge and only 10% of the total river sediment load, while the middle reaches contribute 30–40% of the water flow and 90% of the annual sediment load, because of severe erosion over the Loess Plateau. Large variations in both annual water discharge and sediment load occur in the Huanghe. Heavy sedimentation in the lower reaches of the channel makes the river bed aggrade several centimetres per year. Of the suspended sediment in the river, 90–95% is deposited in the lower part of the river course and in the coastal shallow water area; less than 5–10% escapes from Laizhou Bay and enters the Central Bohai and/or North Huanghai (Yellow Sea). The active delta complex now propagates seawards at a mean rate of 42 km² year⁻¹.     

Long- and middle-term behaviour of the tilt and strain variations in the decade following the 1976 friuli earthquake in NE Italy

Tilt and strainmeter data collected in the Friuli seismic area between 1977 and 1985 have been analyzed to study the stress-strain field and/or the elastic parameter variations in the area after the strong 1976 seismic event.We concentrated on three different frequency bands, respectively linked with the tidal waves, the seasonal effect and the secular one. The results from the first two bands point at an increase of the local rigidity modulus.Relevant stresses induced by the seasonal groundwater level variations have been found, thus supporting the hypothesis that they can act as triggering effects. The secular trend reveals significant tectonic stress modifications. It appears that the post-seismic tectonic stresses faded during 1981–1983, and were followed by a new loading phase.On leave from the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

地震综合预报中的一个概率问题

目前地震预报还没有过关,单靠某一个前兆观测台站和某一种前兆手段来预报地震都不是很准确的。因此,利用多个台站、多种前兆观测手段来预报地震就成为提高预报准确率的一种重要途径。但是,在实际预报过程中,有一个概率问题需要解决,即当所有前兆观测项目中(每一个前兆观测台站的每一种手段都可称为一个前兆观测项目),有一些出现异常,     

柴达木盆地及邻区主要活动断裂及其与地震的关系

本文根据野外调查资料及重力、航磁等资料,对柴达木盆地及其邻区的主要活动断裂的大地构造位置、产状、深度和第四纪活动特点等进行了分析研究,並讨论了这些断裂与地震活动的关系。这一地区的地震活动强度与断裂深度有关,具左旋运动特征的全新世近东西向活断层与强地震活动的关系最为密切。     

澜沧、耿马地震序列图象与发震构造讨论

本文分析了1988年11月6日云南澜沧、耿马地震序列的震中分布及迁移图象,发现其地震序列中主震及余震明显地沿北北西向分布。7.2级地震所形成的形变带沿北北西向旱母坝断层分布,表明该断层即为此次地震的发震构造。7.6级地震时,沿北西向木嘎断裂和北北西向澜沧—勐海断裂均形成明显的地震形变带,表明其发震构造较复杂。主震后的强余震活动与北东向断裂有密切关系。本文认为澜沧、耿马地震序列具有复杂的发震构造和破裂图象。     

几次地震前河西地区地电场的异常特征

本文在分析甘肃河西地区五个台地电场资料的基础上,阐述了河西地区地电场的正常特征和几次地震前的异常特征,並指出地电场异常的研究在地震短临预报中具有一定意义。     

北京地区新构造运动特征

根据北京地区构造演化、断裂活动、新构造运动、现代构造运动及地震活动等新资料,认为本区南、北段新构造运动特征存在明显差异,南段新构造活动较北段弱,未来地震危险性亦然
