Review on InSAR based displacement monitoring of Indian Himalayas: issues,challenges and possible advanced alternatives

Natural and man-made disasters like earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, unplanned mining are some of the most serious factors responsible for earth surface displacement. These incidences can be harmful for the society due to loss of life and also threatful for future urban development. Therefore, continuous monitoring of disasters in terms of displacements is of fundamental importance in a modern well-organized society to understand its effects on the social and economic fabric. Availability of SAR data has been proved to be an excellent source for estimation of surface displacements with high accuracies. However, in India, SAR interferometry-related displacement measurement has still not gained appreciable momentum. More rigorous research needs to be carried out for the efficient use of this new generation technique. This review article is an attempt to discuss the issues related to SAR-based displacement studies so far conducted on Indian Himalayan region and possible advanced alternatives.     

VARIATION OF THE TRAVEL TIME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TELESEISMIC PS CONVERTED WAVE AND PP TRANSMITTED WAVE IN FOCAL REGION BEFORE AND AFTER WENCHUAN MS8.0 EARTHQUAKE

When P waves from distant earthquakes meet a velocity discontinuity in the earth's crust and upper mantle, they give rise to a series of converted PS waves besides PP refracted waves. It is possible to monitor the variation of the physical properties of the medium in the limited formation space above the transition zone of the seismogenic zone by measuring the time difference between the teleseismic PS converted wave and the first arrival P wave, that is, time-variation Δt_PS=t_PS-t_P. The advantage of this method is that the transition point of the teleseismic source with similar source is relatively stable at the transition interface, and the accuracy of the measured relative time is high, and the change of the medium in a small range of the seismogenic zone above the conversion interface can be monitored. This paper studies the variation of the travel time difference Δt_PS in focal region before and after Wenchuan M_S8.0 earthquake. We select 2001 to 2012 as the research period, use teleseismic waveforms which occurred in the southern region of Sumatra and Hindu Kush area recorded by Sichuan station YZP and JJS. These teleseisms satisfy 5.0 ≤ M ≤ 6.5, and their waveform signal-to-noise ratio is high with clear initial P-wave motion. The epicentral distance of teleseisms is less than 3 degrees. Then we obtain the variation of the travel time difference Δt_PS between teleseismic PS converted wave and PP transmitted wave recorded during the study period in the two stations. The results show that there is a slow increasing trend of Δt_PS before 2006, and an obvious low value process of Δt_PS appeared in the period about 2 years before the Wenchuan earthquake. The maximum decline was about 0.2~0.3s, more than 4~5 times the measurement error. The low value has a certain degree of return about 2~3 months before the earthquake. The change of arrival time difference indicates that the medium is in different states in different periods of seismogenic process. The sharp decrease in Δt_PS from 2006 to January 2008 may be due to the strong disturbance caused by the stress accumulation of the medium. At this stage, the velocity of P wave and S wave increases with the increase of stress, and the increase of S wave velocity will result in the decrease of Δt_PS. The change of Δt_PS is greatly affected by S wave velocity, so Δt_PS appears to decrease rapidly. Regarding the low value that has a certain degree of return about 2~3 months before the Wenchuan earthquake, the possible reason is that the release of stress is much higher than the accumulation of stress in meta-instability stage. At this stage, the velocity of S wave decreases and the decrease of S wave causes Δt_PS to increase. Then, the Wenchuan earthquake of magnitude 8.0 occurred. It is shown that the teleseismic converted wave method in this paper can monitor the variation of medium's wave velocity before large earthquakes, and it has a good prospect in seismic monitoring and worth further experimental study.

荒漠植物红砂叶绿素荧光参数日变化及其与环境因子的关系

在自然条件下以分布于兰州九州台（LZJ）、张掖临泽（ZYL）和武威民勤（WWM）3个地区的红砂为试材,利用PAM-2100便携式叶绿素荧光分析仪和Lcpro+便携式光合作用测定系统,在红砂生长季节对其叶绿素荧光参数及其环境因子进行测定和分析。结果表明:3个地区红砂叶片的初始荧光(Fo)、PSⅡ最大光化学量子产量(Fv/Fm)、实际光化学反应量子效率(ΦPSⅡ)和非光化学淬灭系数(qN)均存在明显的日变化。其中Fv/Fm和ΦPSⅡ均呈反正态分布曲线日进程,在中午13:00强光下降低至最低值;Fo和qN则呈正态分布曲线日进程,在中午13:00达到最大值。3个地区红砂的Fv/Fm虽在中午呈降低趋势,但因其值均高于0.8,所以并未发生光抑制现象。在环境因子中,光合有效辐射(PAR)、温度（Ta）以及水分条件协同作用于红砂的光化学效率。当水分条件较高时,PAR成为影响光化学效率降低的首要因子;而当水分降低时,RH成为加速光化学效率下降的主要因子。在土壤极端干旱叠加强光、高温和低湿的逆境中红砂主要采取依赖于叶黄素循环的热耗散和PSⅡ反应中心可逆失活两种保护机制来适应外界环境的变化。     

PS加固对非饱和遗址土的渗透特性影响研究

高模数硅酸钾（简称PS）对西北干旱区的土遗址具有明显的加固效果,其加固后的土体也具有较好的渗透性。采用VJ-T非饱和土渗透仪和常规压力板仪测试了PS加固前后饱和样的渗透系数和非饱和土的土-水特征曲线(SWCC),并利用相关模型预测了非饱和土的渗透系数。结果显示,PS加固以后,在各个含水条件下的渗透性都有一定程度的提高,7%PS加固样表现非常明显。其原因是PS与土颗粒进行了非常复杂的物理化学变化,在反应中颗粒的几何形状发生变化,大量棱角弱化或消失,土颗粒磨圆度变好。同时,孔隙壁变得光滑、平直,孔隙弯曲因子减小,有效孔隙增大,这些因素导致了非饱和黏土的渗透性能有较大幅度提高。电镜测试分析了PS加固以后黏土颗粒及孔隙的变化,较好地验证了渗透性试验的结果

转换波AVO近似及其在PP/PS联合反演中的应用(英文)

多分量勘探相比常规纵波勘探而言有许多的优势,PP/PS联合AVO分析和反演是强而有效的储层识别方法。在本文中,我们推导了更精确的转换波AVO反射系数公式;并在入射角小于30度时进行了进一步简化,其对于转换波AVO分析和反演而言更加简单有效。基于该近似,我们进行了PP/PS联合AVO反演。实际资料的实例表明,反演得到的纵横波速度比可很好地识别岩性及油气。反演得到的流体因子和泊松比等其他属性在储层处也显示出明显异常,效果显著。     

PS材料加固土遗址风蚀试验研究

风蚀是西北干旱地区土遗址破坏的主要动力机制和成因,强烈的风蚀作用致使许多土遗址坍塌殆尽,导致这一不可再生资源的破坏。通过对土遗址的室内和现场风蚀模拟试验研究发现,经PS（高模数硅酸钾）材料加固后土遗址的抗风蚀能力明显增强。室内试验发现,风蚀量随风速的增长而增加、随风蚀时间延长近线性增长,PS材料浓度大于5 %的加固试样,即使风速达20 m/ s时,风蚀量均小20 (kg/ m2)•h,抗风蚀强度提高 6～10 倍。现场模拟试验结果表明,加固材料的入渗深度和用量直接影响加固效果,中浓度PS材料加固的墙面抗风蚀能力最强。因此,选择适当的PS材料浓度、提高加固材料的渗透力是土遗址保护加固的关键,将对西北地区土遗址科学保护的全面开展起到重要的指导作用。
