Mineral Resources of Chinese Altay and Tianshan： Metallogeny and Related Tectonic Processesm—A field workshop of IGCP-473

A workshop of the IGCP-473 was held in Xinjiang, northwestern China, from August 9-21. It was attended by more than 70 scientists, including 29 from outside of China, i.eUnited States, Canada, Australia, Japan,Russia, United Kingdom, South Africa,Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, and Khazakstan. The workshop was superbly organized by a team led by Prof. Mao Jingwen of Institute of     

中国及邻区地震的天文潮汐触发特征研究—附加潮汐应力对发震断层的作用模式及其应用

本文在潮汐应力、构造应力、地震断层和岩石破裂滑动理论的基础上，建立了潮汐应力对地震断层作用的力学模式，该模式将潮汐应力与地震应力作用相结合，描述了沿地震主压应力和地震主张应务方向的附加潮汐应力对发震断层的力学作用方式，从而切入潮汐应力触发地震的物理机制，认为潮汐对地震的触发作用在实质上归结为潮汐应力对地震断层的促滑作用，这种促滑作用分增压型和减压型。在此模式基础上，对中国大陆及邻区的不同类型地震的潮汐触发性进行了研究，内容包括：计算了中国及邻区一千多个地震震源处沿主压应力P轴和主张应力T轴方向的附加潮汐应力分量，分析了这些量对发震断层的作用方式，按纬度区域统计了受到潮汐应力促滑作用的发震断层类型以及它们与潮汐应力作用方式的关系，得到了如下结论：受到潮汐应力促滑作用的发震断层的比例随区域纬度增加有减小趋势，其中，走滑型断层的比例在低纬区较大，而倾滑斜型断层的比例在中高纬度区较大；对整个统计区域而言，受增压型潮汐应力促滑作用的发震断层数比例大于受减压型潮汐应力促滑作用的发震断层；对不同的纬度区域，不同的潮汐应力作用方式与之促滑的发震断层类型也有不同的分布特征。最后，本文将中国及邻区受到潮汐触发作用的地震按构造应力区域划分，计算了这些地震发震时刻的日月位置参数，得到了各构造区域上具有潮汐触发物理机制的地震发震时的日、月位置参数分布图象。

The Statistical Analysis of Migration of Strong Earthquakes-Taking the North China Region asan Example

The migration of strong earthquakes is an important research topic because the migration phenomena reflect partly the seismic mechanism and involve the prediction of tendency of seismic activity. Research on migration of strong earthquakes has mostly focused on finding the phenomena. Some attempts on getting regularity were comparatively subjective. This paper suggests that there should be indices of migration in earthquake dataset and the indexes should have statistical meaning if there is regularity in the migration of strong earthquakes. In this study, three derivative attributes of migration, i.e., migration orientation, migration distance and migration time interval, were statistically analyzed. Results in the North China region show that the migration of strong earthquakes has statistical meaning. There is a dominant migration orientation (W by S to E by N), a dominant distance ( ≤ 100kin and on the confines of 300 ～ 700km), and a dominant time interval ( ≤ la and on the confines of 3 - 4a). The results also show that the migration will differ slightly with different magnitude range or earthquake activity phase.
