Revising macroseismic data in Switzerland: The December 20, 1720 earthquake in the region of Lake Constance

Upgrading the Earthquake Catalog of Switzerland (ECOS) included revising the earthquake of 1720. This change has major importance for history and seismology.Although that quake has been the subject of several publications, none was based on critical methods. This re-evaluation of the event is built upon a new and more reliable database established after investigating archives and libraries. Using data from such historical sources, we assigned new site intensities, adopting the criteria established by the European macroseismic scale EMS 98 (Grünthal, 1998).We discovered that the event had been assigned an overestimated intensity, due to interpretation errors in former earthquake catalogs and compilations. We recommend reducing the intensity from I₀= VIII to I₀= VI (EMS 98). The moment magnitude is given as M_W= 4.6. Since the event had been considered the largest for its respective area, downgrading it now will influence the seismic hazard assessment for this region.     

甘肃北山地区晚第四纪构造变形特征及演化趋势

通过对甘肃北山地区ETM影像的细致分析和初步野外考察,对北山地区晚第四纪以来断裂活动时代和运动性质进行了研究。结合附近地区天山构造带、青藏高原北部边缘断裂的演化过程和区域构造应力场状态,对北山地区晚第四纪以来变形机制和演化趋势进行了研究。认为北山地区现今构造格局是在印度板块与欧亚板块相碰撞形成的北东向挤压构造应力场的作用下,重新激活东西向的晚古生代、中生代断裂,并产生北东向新生断裂而形成。晚第四纪以来,北山地区构造变形以南北向缩短为主,伴随有东西向伸展。随着印度板块的向北运移,北山地区的构造变形将进一步增强,即南北向缩短和东西向的扩展将进一步增强。     

福建地区地震震源深度特征的统计分析

根据福建数字地震台网记录的地震震源深度资料, 统计分析了1998年7月至2008年6月期间福建及邻区M_L≥1.0并有震源深度参数且观测精度为1类地震1431次。 采用0.4°×0.4°网格和以0.2°为滑动步长, 统计了网格内地震的平均深度, 并绘制了平均深度等值线图。 分析结果表明: ① 福建地区地震震源深度总体上呈现东南深、 西北浅的特征, 东南沿海地区平均震源深度大于14 km, 西北地区平均震源深度小于10 km; ② 平均震源深度等值线展布大致呈NE向, 在福建南部地区平均震源深度在沿NE向展布基础上, 还受到NW向断裂控制, 断裂构造通过的地区平均震源深度相对较深; ③ 福建地区地震动力成因与中国大陆其他地区有所不同。     

Carbon isotope composition of the Lower Triassic marine carbonates, Lower Yangtze Region, South China

The Early Triassic is a critical period in earth his- tory. A series of events such as volcano eruptions[1,2], sea-level fluctuations, changes in environmental con- ditions[3], mass extinctions[4,5] as well as global negative carbon isotope excursions[6-9] have been discovered in the uppermost Permian or across the Permian-Triassic boundary. Large scale sea-level rise[10-12], restoration of environment conditions, re- covery of ecosystem[13], including gradual carbon iso- tope rise[14] occur…     

吉林红石蓄能电站区域稳定性研究

以有关规范为基础，分别从区域、近区域和场址区三个尺度对吉林红石蓄能电站场址的稳定性作了评价。从地质构造、新构造、火山、地震等方面来分析，区域和近区域均是稳定的，场址区内虽有5条断裂构造发育并有发生轻微崩塌和泥石流等灾害的可能，但不会对场址产生的影响，因而场址区也是稳定的。     

内蒙古东部地区地震活动演化特征

通过对内蒙古东部中等地震的有序分布、中等地震密集增强、地震从集、空区和条带及显著地震及中强地震迁移背景方面的演化特征研究,分析认为,阿巴嘎旗及邻区、扎兰屯-牙克石、呼伦贝尔-兴安盟-锡盟-通辽交界地区将是未来中强地震的可能区域。通过对2003年8月-2006年3月间发生在东部的中强地震沿大兴安岭对迁特征研究,综合认为,内蒙古东部已成为东北地区中强地震活动主体地区。     

井下地震计的P波接收函数正演计算及其稳定性研究——以首都圈地区为例

井下地震计波形记录的P波垂向分量存在频谱极小（spectrum null）现象,导致接收函数的结果不稳定.本文以首都圈地区为例,基于平面波入射的传播矩阵理论,发展了用于计算井下地震计的接收函数正演方法.在此基础上,分析了井下地震计波形垂向分量频谱极小现象,研究其对接收函数稳定性的影响.结果表明,井下地震计波形记录垂向分量的频谱极小开始出现的频率和地震计的埋深相关.该现象可造成反卷积提取的接收函数不稳定,且不稳定情况出现在频谱极小附近的频段,可通过选择合适的高斯因子压制其对接收函数的影响.

In this paper , by using the seismic data of strong earthquake (M≥7) which have occurred since 1900,correlative features of strong earthquake activity in Tianshan region which crosses China and USSR have been studied . Meanwhile , we selected 15 seismic windows (11 in China , 4 in USSR) by censusing , systematically researching and statistically examing seismic data of regional seismic network which are in Chian and USSR.The anomalous features of seismic window and seismic window network , prediction index and prediction plan have been studied . In the same time ,its prediction efficency have been evaluated . Several examples of successful earthquake prediction are given out in this paper .Finally ,the possible physical mechanism of the results are discussed.
