国际参考地磁场模型中高阶球谐项对地磁场长期变化的影响

在国际参考地磁场（IGRF）模型中，高阶球谐系数比低阶系数小得多，所以高阶项对主磁场的贡献常被忽略不计. 但是，高阶项对主磁场的长期变化却有重大影响. 本文根据第八代IGRF模型，分析了IGRF 1945～1955中高阶球谐系数的异常特征对长期变化的影响，然后用修正IGRF模型估计并改正了这些影响. IGRF高阶项随深度增加而迅速增大，所以高阶系数的误差对深部磁场位形和磁场能量的计算有不可忽视的影响，对核幔界面流动状态的推断和地核半径的地磁估计有更为重大的影响.     

中国大陆与邻区强震分区活动性及其随时间演化

根据主要构造分布、震源机制解分布及地震活动状况，将中国大陆及邻区分成20个单元，6个区。利用中国地震局地球物理研究所提供的地震目录，计算近百年来各单元和各区的6级以上强震释放应变能，做出时间滑动后的应变能—时间曲线图，分析认为：(a)中国大陆及邻区百年来的强震活动是一个复杂的时空动态过程，每个区、带有其高、低潮，然而各地区没有统一的地震释放应变能高潮与低潮；(b)强震的活动与平静只是相对而言的，没有绝对的活动或平静；(c)微动态期划分较好的体现了强震活动特征，每个微动态期内至少有一个高潮期，且强震集中在一个主体地区内发生，各搬动态期的能量可以有起伏。通过进一步的讨论和分析，提出中国大陆地壳变形主要受三方面因素的控制：(1)印度板块、太平洋板块和菲律宾板块的活动及其变化控制中国强震活动图像的总体格局；(2)大陆地壳结构的非均匀性及其变化影响了主体地区的形态结构；(3)地壳形变的继承性影响强震活动主体地区形成与变迁的过程。     

Study on the Horizontal Deformation Strain Field in the Central and Northern Parts of Yunnan Province

Based on the horizontal deformation field and the strain field derived from the GPS data over the period of 1999～2001 in the Yunnan area, the characteristics of deformation and strain in the northern part of Yunnan Province have been studied. The results indicate that the central part of the studied area is rather stable with little crustal displacement, while the western and eastern parts are active with larger displacement. The strain field reveals that the orientations of the principal compressive strain axis of the crust and the sub-blocks in the area are NW-SE, while the orientations of the principal tensile strain axis is NE-SW. In the studied area, the tensile strain is predominatly in the northern part and the compressive strain is predominatly in the central and southern parts. The stretching direction of the shear-strain contour is basically consistent with the strike of the active fault. The strain and stress fields of the fault activity are related to the structure where the fault is located, while the activity properties of the faults are different.     

Why rifts invert in compression

The common observation of sedimentary basin inversion in orogenic forelands implies that rifts constitute weak areas of the continental lithosphere. When compressed, the rifts respond with uplift of the deepest parts and erosion of sediments therein. Simultaneously, syn-compressional marginal troughs are formed flanking the inversion zone.Since rifting and subsequent post-rift thermal re-equilibration are processes expected to alter the long-term mechanical state of the lithosphere, the phenomenon of basin inversion is non-trivial from a rheological point of view. Stochastic modelling of the long-term thermal structure beneath sedimentary basins indicates that the crustal part of a rift is warmer, and hence weaker, than the surrounding crustal blocks. In contrast, the mantle part is cold and strong beneath the basin centre.In this paper, it is investigated whether the rifting-induced strength alterations constitute a sufficient condition for a thermally equilibrated rift to invert by compression. Numerical experiments with two-dimensional dynamic thermo-mechanical models are performed. In particular, the focus is on rifting-related mechanical instabilities that reduce the load bearing capacity of the lithosphere. In the experiments, strain-softening behaviour is introduced in the non-associated plasticity model representing brittle yielding. The result is self-consistent large-scale fault formation.The models predict that the rifting-related necking instability induces differential crustal thinning increasing the post-rift crustal weakness. Strain softening and the associated fault formation amplifies the necking instability and introduces zones of structural weakness exposed for compressional re-activation.Under these circumstances, basin inversion follows as a natural consequence of rift compression.

Tectonothermal evolution of the Lesser Himalaya, Nepal: Constraints from 40Ar/39Ar ages from the Kathmandu Nappe

Abstract The Himalaya is a fold-and-thrust wedge formed along the northern margin of the Indian continent, and consists of three thrust-bounded lithotectonic units; the Sub-Himalaya, the Lesser Himalaya, and the Higher Himalaya with the overlying Tethys Himalaya from south to north, respectively. The orogen-scale, intracrustal thrusts which bound the above lithotectonic units are splays off an underlying subhorizontal dkcollement, and show a southward propagating piggy-back sequence with an out-of-sequence thrust. Among these thrusts, the Main Central Thrust zone (MCT zone) has played a major role in Himalayan tectonics. The MCT zone represents a shear zone which has accommodated southward thrusting of the Higher Himalayan crystalline thrust sheet over the Lesser Himalayan sequence for ～140 km. The Kathmandu Nappe in central Nepal has been transported over the Lesser Himalayan metasediments along the MCT zone, and is locally separated from the Higher Himalayan thrust sheet in the north by an out-of-sequence thrust. ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages have been determined for one whole-rock phyllite and six muscovite concentrates from metasedimenta-ry rocks and variably deformed granites in the Kathmandu Nappe. These ages range from 44 Ma to 14 Ma, and suggest a record of both Eo-Himalayan (Eocene) and Neo-Himalayan (Miocene) tectonothermal events in the Tertiary Himalayan orogeny. The Miocene event was associated with translation along the MCT zone. No tectonothermal event of the Late Miocene to Early Pliocene ages have been reported near the MCT zone in southern Lesser Himalayan crystalline nappe or klippe, although such events have been documented within and around the MCT zone in the northern root zone of the Higher Himalaya. This suggests that out-of-sequence thrusting may have occurred between 14 Ma and 5 Ma, probably during the period 10-7.5 Ma. Since then the frontal MCT zone below the Kathmandu Nappe has been inactive, but the MCT zone in the northern root zone has remained active. The rapid increase in denudation rates of the Higher Himalaya since the Late Miocene may have been caused by ramping along the out-of-sequence thrust at depth.
