Tomographic determination of 3-D crustal structure — Joint inversion of explosion and earthquake data

In this paper, the theory and method, obtaining the tomographic determination of three-dimensional velocity structure of the crust by use of the joint inversion of explosion and earthquake data, are given. The velocity distribution of the crust is regarded as a continuous function of the spatial coordinates without parametrization of the velocity model ahead, so that the inversion solution would not be influenced by different parametrization procedures. The expressions of integration kernels, which relates the two kinds of data sets, are also given. The authors have processed the observed data in Tangshan earthquake region by the method proposed in this paper, and obtained the tomographic results of the middle and upper crust structures in this region. The comparison of these results with the result obtained only by the explosion data, has also been made.     

Interrelation between fault zone structures and earthquake processes

In order to develop capabilities for predicting earthquake processes on the basis of known fault zone structures and stress conditions, we need to find relations between seismogenic structures and processes. In the present paper we search for the scale dependence in various earthquake phenomena with the hope to find some structures in the earth that may control the earthquake processes. Among these phenomena, we shall focus on (1) geologic structures which play some role in nucleation and stopping of earthquake fault rupture, (2) depth ranges of the brittle seismogenic zone, (3) asperities and barriers distributed over a fault plane, (4) source-controlledf _max effect, (5) nonfractal behavior of creep events, and (6) temporal correlation between codaQ ^–1 and seismicity of earthquakes with magnitude characteristic to a given area. Our review of various scale-dependent phenomena leads us to propose a working hypothesis that the temporal change in codaQ ^–1 may reflect the activity of creep fractures near the brittle-ductile transition zone.     

1911年红海湾6级地震前珠江三角洲及其邻区的区域构造应力场

本文包括：（１）通过拟合区内断层错动方式确定区域边界上作用的远场构造应力；（２）根据发震前震中所在断层段要进入塑性状态，确定１９１１年红海湾地震前区内构造应力场．两个应力场均采用正交设计法与弹塑性有限元方法快捷地得到．结果表明：该区远场最大主压应力σ３的方向为Ｎ６８°Ｗ，σ３＝－２００ＭＰａ，最小主压应力σ１＝－８０ＭＰａ；算得的红海湾地震前区内应力场的特点是除滨海断裂的红海湾段已进入屈服状态外，其余断裂均处于弹性状态．     

华北地区人工地震测深震相与地壳结构研究

主要讨论了华北地区人工地震测深中的４个（Ｐ＿ｇ，Ｐ＿ｃ，Ｐ＿ｍ，Ｐ＿ｎ）常规震相以及它所反映的构造和物性特征，这些震相反映了地壳上地幔不同层位的构造形态以及速度和速度梯度结构在纵横向的变化。还重点研究了华北地区的奇异震相以及反映在构造上的特殊性和重要意义，一些剖面局部区域的某些震相显示在视速度、振幅和出现区间等方面的异常，反映了该区域在构造上的特殊性，而这些特殊性往往与地震的孕育、发生以及矿产资源的潜在构造背景有着密切的关系

曲江断裂断面结构及地震地质意义

本文在野外地质调查的基础上，从曲江断裂两盘的地层分布、产状变化、破碎带宽度的异常分布等方面对曲江断裂的断面结构进行了初步分析，认为曲江断裂上存在两个尺度较大的凹凸体。结合该断裂的右旋运动特点，对曲江断裂破碎带异常展宽段及串珠状小盆地的成因给予了解释，同时认为曲江断裂上三次７级以上强震的震中与凹凸体的位置明显相关。     

GRADIENT MEASUREMENTS OF METHANE FLUX IN LIN''''AN RICE PADDIES

From July to September of 1990,CH_4 flux measurements were made in Lin'an rice paddies using gradient profiletechniques.Some characteristics of the turbulence structure under the stable conditions have been verified in the surfacelayer according to the in situ measurements.The semi-empirical turbulent parameters β_m,β_h and β_c and their changeswith the stability parameter Ri are given.Observed results indicate that CH_4 flux in the rice-paddy is mainly decided bythe methnogenesis and the process of CH4 transport from internal soils to the atmosphere,and that the CH_4 verticaltransfer is depressed in the stable surface layer.The CH_4 flux shows that its obvious diurnal changes,and the meanCH_4 flux are higher in nighttime and lower in daytime,and the peaks appear at about 2000 BST at night and 0300 BSTin the early morning,respectively.The mean value of CH_4 flux is about 4.18±2.3 mg/m~2 h.
