高邮地震台地电阻率异常特征与地震关系研究

应用归一化月速率法研究了高邮地电台周围200km范围内发生的固镇5．0级、溧阳6．0级、射阳5．1级、常熟5．1级和台湾地区6．4～7．6级4次地震的地电阻率变化。结果显示，对于邻区的4次近震均在出现负异常后发生，而台湾远区地震均发生在正异常之后，笔者研究认为，高邮台地电阻率归一化月速率异常可能与该台特殊的地理位置和台址有关，该台地电阻率对200km范围内和特殊位置(台湾地区)中强以上地震具有较强的映震能力。     

Upper mantle convection driving by density anomaly and a test model

Introduction Richter and Mckenzie (1978) supposed that there is a small-scale convection system in the mantle. For a long time lots of research provides observational data to infer the possibility of a small-scale convection in the upper mantle. For example, Haxby and Weissel (1986) discussed the relationship between SEASAT map and small-scale convection. Baudry and Kroenke (1991), Maia and Diament (1991) found that the geoid and bathymetry exhibit peaks in the 400~650 km range in the Pa…     

电测深法在漠河地区探测永久冻土层的应用

用电测深方法研究永久冻土带的空间分布规律,为东北天然气水合物远景调查的进一步研究提供依据。通过在漠河地区南北剖面(20 km)和东西剖面(13 km)电阻率测深法的探测研究,实测电测深曲线多数为HK、K或Q型,对应的地电结构大致为:第一层为地表干燥松散碎石层,该层电阻率很高(几百~几千Ω.m),但厚度较小,一般不超过2 m;第二层为无冰冻含水碎石堆积层(部分测点无此层),电阻率一般小于100Ω.m,厚度不超过2~5 m;第三层为推断的永久冻层,电阻率一般大于300Ω.m,该层厚度变化较大,从20几m到100多m;推断永冻层下为一低阻层,电阻率一般小于200Ω.m。     

Identification of groundwater prospective zones by using remote sensing and geoelectrical methods in Jharia and Raniganj coalfields, Dhanbad district, Jharkhand state

The Dhanbad district in Jharkhand faces acute water scarcity and is chronically drought-prone. The groundwater resources in the area have not been fully exploited. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the groundwater prospective zones. Landsat-5 Multi Spectral Scanner (MSS) data of band 2 and band 4 and false colour composite (FCC) of band 2, 3, 4 were interpreted visually to differentiate different hydromorphogeological units and to delineate the major trends of lineaments. The different geomorphic features identified are linear ridges, residual hills, and pediplain, buried pediment and dissected pediplain, besides lineaments. The study shows that the pediplain and buried pediments are promising zones for groundwater prospecting. The occurrence and movement of groundwater is restricted to the unconsolidated material, weathered and fractured rocks. For the selection of tube well sites, geoelectrical resistivity investigations have been carried out at the sites, which were found suitable based on hydrogeomorphological and hydrogeological studies. Twenty-six Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) have been carried out by using Schlumberger electrode configuration, which have brought out 3 to 7 layered sub-surface layers. The resistivity of water-bearing weathered/fractured rocks varies from 120–150 ohm m. The integrated studies have revealed that the blue colour zones are most promising for groundwater exploration and dug wells may be dug up to depths of 30±5m.     

A three-dimensional radially anisotropic model of shear velocity in the whole mantle

We present a 3-D radially anisotropic S velocity model of the whole mantle (SAW642AN), obtained using a large three component surface and body waveform data set and an iterative inversion for structure and source parameters based on Non-linear Asymptotic Coupling Theory (NACT). The model is parametrized in level 4 spherical splines, which have a spacing of ∼ 8°. The model shows a link between mantle flow and anisotropy in a variety of depth ranges. In the uppermost mantle, we confirm observations of regions with   V_SH > V_SV   starting at ∼80 km under oceanic regions and ∼200 km under stable continental lithosphere, suggesting horizontal flow beneath the lithosphere. We also observe a   V_SV > V_SH   signature at ∼150–300 km depth beneath major ridge systems with amplitude correlated with spreading rate for fast-spreading segments. In the transition zone (400–700 km depth), regions of subducted slab material are associated with   V_SV > V_SH   , while the ridge signal decreases. While the mid-mantle has lower amplitude anisotropy (<1 per cent), we also confirm the observation of radially symmetric   V_SH > V_SV   in the lowermost 300 km, which appears to be a robust conclusion, despite an error in our previous paper which has been corrected here. The 3-D deviations from this signature are associated with the large-scale low-velocity superplumes under the central Pacific and Africa, suggesting that   V_SH > V_SV   is generated in the predominant horizontal flow of a mechanical boundary layer, with a change in signature related to transition to upwelling at the superplumes.
