GPS time-series and its response to M S=8.1 Kunlunshan earthquake

In this paper, observation data in 25 GPS reference stations of China have been analyzed by calculating GPS position coordinate time-series with GIPSY. Result shows there is an obvious trend variation in such time-series. The trend variations of time series along the longitude and latitude coordinate reflect the motion of each position in the global-plate, in which the trend variation in the vertical direction reveals some large-scale construction information or reflects the local movement around the positions. The analysis also shows that such time-series have a variation cycle of nearly 1.02 a, but the reason still remains to be further studied. At the end of this paper, response of the time-series of M _S=8.1 Kunlunshan earthquake was analyzed, and the seismogenic process of M _S=8.1 Kunlunshan earthquake, according to the time proceeding and the feature of anomaly, was divided into 3 phases—changes in blocks with forces, strain accumulation, quick accumulation and slow release of energy. At the initial stage of seismogenic process of M _S=8.1 earthquake and at the imminent earthquake, coseismic process as well as during the post earthquake recovery, anomaly in vertical direction is always in a majority. The anomalous movement in vertical direction at the initial stage resulted in a blocking between faults, while at the middle stage of seismogenic process, the differential movement between blocks are in a majority, which is the major reason causing energy accumulating at the blocking stage of faults.

ON THE MAINTENANCE OF BLOCKING ANTICYCLONES OF NORTHERN HEMISPHERE-PARTⅠ:QUASI-GEOSTROPHIC POTENTIAL VORTICITY ANALYSIS

Four observed blocking anticyclones in different regions of the Northern Hemisphere are investigated.Analyses show that there exist distinct differences in the maintenance of the time-mean quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity(PV) low in 300 hPa within blocking areas.In two Pacific blocking cases,the PV advection by time-mean flow tends to flow the PV low to northwestern part of the blocking highs,and thus is beneficial to the maintenance of the blockings'strength.The transfer by transient eddies acts to balance the effect of the time-mean flow.In the Atlantic and Alaska blocking cases,however,the advection of mean flow tends to flow the PV low eastward.The PV transfer by transient eddies acts to flow potential vorticity low to the western part of the blocking ridges and also to balance the time-mean flow's effect.Thus,in the latter two cases,it is the transfer by the transient eddies that acts to maintain the blockings.

Mid–Cretaceous Episodic Magmatism and Tin Mineralization in Khingan-Okhotsk Volcano–Plutonic Belt, Far East Russia

Abstract: Age of magmatism and tin mineralization in the Khingan‐Okhotsk volcano–plutonic belt, including the Khingan, Badzhal and Komsomolsk tin fields, were reviewed in terms of tectonic history of the continental margin of East Asia. This belt consists mainly of felsic volcanic rocks and granitoids of the reduced type, being free of remarkable geomagnetic anomaly, in contrast with the northern Sikhote‐Alin volcano–plutonic belt dominated by oxidized‐type rocks and gold mineralization. The northern end of the Khingan‐Okhotsk belt near the Sea of Okhotsk, accompanied by positive geomagnetic anomalies, may have been overprinted by magmatism of the Sikhote‐Alin belt. Tin–associated magmatism in the Khingan‐Okhotsk belt extending over 400 km occurred episodically in a short period (9510 Ma) in the middle Cretaceous time, which is coeval with the accretion of the Kiselevka‐Manoma complex, the youngest accretionary wedge in the eastern margin of the Khingan‐Okhotsk accretionary terranes. The episodic magmatism is in contrast with the Cretaceous‐Paleogene long–lasted magmatism in Sikhote–Alin, indicating the two belts are essentially different arcs, rather than juxtaposed arcs derived from a single arc. The tin‐associated magmatism may have been caused by the subduction of a young and hot back‐arc basin, which is inferred from oceanic plate stratigraphy of the coeval accre‐tionary complex and its heavy mineral assemblage of immature volcanic arc provenance. The subduction of the young basin may have resulted in dominance of the reduced‐type felsic magmas due to incorporation of carbonaceous sediments within the accretionary complex near the trench. Subsequently, the back‐arc basin may have been closed by the oblique collision of the accretionary terranes in Sikhote–Alin, which was subjected to the Late Cretaceous to Paleogene magmatism related to another younger subduction system. These processes could have proceeded under transpressional tectonic regime due to oblique subduction of the paleo‐Pacific plates under Eurasian continent.

Experimental study on blocking and self-cleaning behaviors of beam dam in debris flow hazard mitigation

Blocking is one of the important features when a beam dam intercepts debris flow, while self-cleaning is another when managing suspended debris flow. Both features determine the debris flow control benefits of beam dam but the latter often is not considered in practical engineering design. In this paper, a series of specially designed flume experiments were done to simulate blocking and self-cleaning processes. The blocking ratio and deposition features were measured to contrast the blocking and self-cleaning performance before and after artificial self-cleaning. The experimental results reveal that the beam dam net opening, particle diameter of sediment, sediment concentration, and gradient of the channel are the main factors affecting blocking performance. A new criterion of blocking performance of beam dams that considers the interaction of multiple factors and can provide guidance to practical project design is proposed. For all three types of blocking, sediment deposited upstream of a beam dam can be effectively transported downstream by erosion from post-debris-flow floods, Self-cleaning performance is most efficient for temporary blocking, followed by partial-blocking, and total-blocking. The efficiency of self-cleaning largely depends on the change of the sediment deposit due to erosion. Finally, a discussion is given for the optimal design of an open-type check dam and the feasibility of synergistic effects of self-cleaning in combination with artificial cleaning. Some supporting artificial silt-cleaning should be implemented in practice. A beam dam will, thus, have more storage capacity with which to control the next debris flow event.     

基于震源机制解的鄂霍次克微板块东部俯冲带地区构造应力场反演

基于国际地震中心(ISC)提供的1970年1月～2016年12月期间的地震震源机制解,对鄂霍次克微板块东部俯冲带地区进行了应力张量反演,得到了日本海沟、千岛海沟和勘察加海沟3个俯冲带区域的构造应力场特征。研究结果显示:①海沟地区浅部区域(h100km)的水平主压应力轴与西北太平洋板块的俯冲方位一致,与海沟走向近似垂直,其洋壳一侧以拉张型应力状态为主,而陆壳一侧则以挤压型应力为主,且在弧后区域均存在拉张的应力状态;80～200km深度范围区域表现出双地震带"Ⅰ"型构造应力场特征。②日本海沟带由于俯冲角相对较小(相比于千岛海沟和勘察加海沟),水平方向沿NWW向延伸更远,大洋板块与上覆板块之间耦合更加强烈,逆冲型地震发生数量最多。③对于深部区域(h300km),千岛地区应力场表现出非均匀性特征,可能是由地幔阻力导致的;而勘察加地区应力场表现出拉张型,可能是因为俯冲板片的拉伸拖曳作用更强。     

碎屑流高风险区桩群防护结构优化布局研究

桩群是一种可有效耗散碎屑流运动能量,抑制碎屑流运动距离及速度的山地灾害防护结构。在碎屑流沟口与受灾体之间构建一组桩群减速带,可达到保护受灾体的目的。以物理模型试验为基础,开展弧型桩群、方型桩群和圆型桩群的沟槽型碎屑流冲击动力响应研究。讨论了3种不同类型的桩群对沟槽型碎屑流运动形态的影响,进一步开展弧型桩群的结构优化研究。结果表明：采用桩群结构可有效减小沟槽型碎屑流堆积距离并抑制其运动速度;3种不同形状桩群之间,弧型桩与方型桩的拦挡效果明显优于圆型桩;弧型桩由于凹槽式外型,对沟槽型碎屑流堆积面积、淤埋深度的抑制效果稍优于方型桩;在相同高度、直径等几何参数下,弧型桩体积比圆型桩小22.6%,比方型桩小39.2%,因此弧型桩的制作成本也相对较低;弧型桩排数从1排增加到3排,桩群拦挡率分别提升7.2%、4.5%;适量增加槽口与桩之间距离Ld可以有效提高弧型桩群防护结构的能量耗散效率。该研究可为桩群在沟槽型碎屑流防治工程中的应用提供理论及技术支持。
