山西地区震源机制一致性参数时空特征分析

利用山西数字地震台网记录到的中小地震波形资料,采用层状介质中点源位错模型的广义透射系数的快速算法和理论地震图拟合直达波最大振幅比来求取小震震源机制解的方法,计算了2001年—2012年山西地区281个中小地震震源机制解,根据优势分布得到山西地区现今平均构造应力场分布,计算震源机制解应力主轴与相应的区域构造应力场主轴之间的震源机制一致性参数,分析一致性参数时空分布与中等地震活动的关系。结果显示,2001年以来山西5次ML≥5.0地震前均有震源机制趋于一致性现象,震中分布在一致性参数低值附近或高低值过渡区域。     

云南地区前震时空分布及其统计特征研究

分析了1965~2014年发生在云南地区的共计223次M≥5.0地震,发现其中有前震的地震74次,占33.2%;云南不同构造区前震的比例差异较大,前震较多的地区是澜沧-耿马地块和腾冲-保山地块;前震与主震的震级差、时间间隔、空间距离优势分布分别为0.5~2.9、10天内和20km内,可以利用这些特点在识别出前震后进而对后续主震做出预测。     

帕米尔东北缘地壳结构的P波接收函数研究

利用位于新疆帕米尔东北缘地带12个固定数字地震台和天山动力学Ⅱ期10个流动宽频带数字地震台记录的高质量远震波形数据,应用接收函数H_-κ叠加方法研究了帕米尔东北缘的地壳厚度-泊松比特征和部分台站下方的壳内界面深度.研究发现:(1) 帕米尔东北缘的Moho面起伏变化剧烈,其总体分布呈现东薄西厚、南厚北薄的特征,由塔里木盆地向天山延伸,地壳厚度约从45 km加深到55 km,从塔里木盆地向西昆仑山延伸,地壳厚度约从45 km加深到69 km;(2)沿着天山动力学Ⅱ期剖面,位于塔里木盆地北缘台站的壳内间断面的深度约为13~16 km,向北进入天山南麓加深到20 km左右,继续向北进入南天山山区壳内间断面不明显,可能暗示塔里木盆地基底向北俯冲,俯冲距离可能到达南天山的山前;(3)研究区地壳泊松比变化复杂(约从0.20到0.31),显示地壳物质组成的复杂性和显著的不均匀构造;(4)整个研究区的地壳厚度和泊松比之间没有明显的相关性,但天山动力学Ⅱ期剖面的结果表明,从塔里木盆地北缘到西南天山,地壳厚度和泊松比之间存在反相关关系,意味着天山地壳的增厚可能主要是通过以长英质岩石为主要组成成分的上地壳叠置而成;(5) 研究区全部地震台地壳厚度与海拔高程的线性回归方程表明地壳厚度与海拔的相关性相对较弱(相关系数为0.66),天山动力学Ⅱ期10个台站的地壳厚度与海拔具有很好的相关性(相关系数为0.85),可能表明沿该剖面地壳整体上处于相对均衡的状态.     

中国西部地区地壳结构特征与强震活动相关性研究

中国西部地区是地震活动十分强烈的地区,天山、阿尔泰、帕米尔和西昆仑都是著名的地震构造带,在这些地震构造带和周边地区发生了多次震级大于5级的强震.本文通过分析西部地区的重力场特征,根据重力数据结合地震剖面、应用Parker-Oldenburg方法反演得到了研究区莫霍面深度,通过对比地震层析成像的反演结果,分析了研究区的地壳结构特征.计算结果表明,研究区地壳结构不均匀特征明显,在造山带地区一般是莫霍面坳陷区,盆地则是莫霍面隆起区,主要造山带地壳速度结构表现为高速区,盆地和主要凹陷区为低速区.根据计算结果和以往强震震中位置分析了地壳构造与强震活动的相关性,西部地区的地震活动与地壳结构的横向不均匀密切相关,强震主要发生在地壳速度变化带附近和地壳速度结构差异较大的地区,在构造应力作用下,这些地壳介质非均匀地区易发生强震,这是中国西部造山带和盆-山边界附近频发强震的构造原因之一.     

Towards a predictive model to assess the natural position of the Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows upper limit

The upper portion of the meadows of the protected Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia oceanica occurs in the region of the seafloor mostly affected by surf-related effects. Evaluation of its status is part of monitoring programs, but proper conclusions are difficult to draw due to the lack of definite reference conditions. Comparing the position of the meadow upper limit with the beach morphodynamics (i.e. the distinctive type of beach produced by topography and wave climate) provided evidence that the natural landwards extension of meadows can be predicted. An innovative model was therefore developed in order to locate the region of the seafloor where the meadow upper limit should lie in natural conditions (i.e. those governed only by hydrodynamics, in absence of significant anthropogenic impact). This predictive model was validated in additional sites, which showed perfect agreement between predictions and observations. This makes the model a valuable tool for coastal management.     

Drivers of phytoplankton,bacterioplankton, and zooplankton carbon biomass in tropical hydroelectric reservoirs

Studies of carbon sources in plankton communities are important because carbon content has become the main currency used in functional studies of aquatic ecosystems. We evaluated the contribution to the total organic carbon pool from different plankton communities (phytoplankton, bacterioplankton, and zooplankton – C-biota) and its drivers in eight tropical hydroelectric reservoirs with different trophic and hydrological status and different physical features. Our systems were separated into three groups based on trophic status and water residence time: (i) mesotrophic with low residence time (ML); (ii) mesotrophic with high residence time (MH); and (iii) eutrophic with low residence time (EL). Our hypothesis that reservoirs with low water residence times and low nutrient concentrations would show the lowest C-biota was supported. Phytoplankton carbon (C-phy) showed the highest concentrations in the EL, followed by MH and ML systems. The EL group also showed significantly higher zooplankton carbon (C-zoo). No significant difference was observed for bacteria carbon (C-bac) among the three system groups. In addition to trophic status and water residence time, regression analyses revealed that water temperature, light, pH, and dissolved organic carbon concentrations were the main drivers of plankton communities in these large tropical hydroelectric reservoirs.     

Magnetic fabric of Plio-Pleistocene sediments from the Crotone fore-arc basin: Insights on the recent tectonic evolution of the Calabrian Arc (Italy)

Low-field anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) analyses were performed on 532 samples collected in 36 (mostly lower Pliocene to lower Pleistocene) marine clay sites from the Crotone basin, a fore-arc basin located on top of the external Calabrian accretionary wedge. The Crotone basin formed since mid-late Miocene under a predominant extensional tectonic regime, but it was influenced thereafter by complex interactions with NW–SE left-lateral strike-faults bounding the basin, which also yielded post-1.2 Ma ∼30° counterclockwise block rotations. The basin is filled by continental to marine sediments yielding one of the thickest and best-exposed Neogene succession available worldwide. The deep-marine facies – represented by blue-grey marly clays gave the best results, as they both preserved a clear magnetic fabric, and provided accurate chronology based on previously published magnetostratigraphy and calcareous plankton (i.e. foraminifers and nannofossils) biostratigraphy. Magnetic susceptibility range and rock magnetic analyses both indicate that AMS reflects paramagnetic clay matrix crystal arrangement. The fabric is predominantly oblate to triaxial, the anisotropy degree low (<1.06), and the magnetic foliation mostly subparallel to bedding. Magnetic lineation is defined in 30 out of 36 sites (where the e12 angle is <35°). By also considering local structural analysis data, we find that magnetic fabric was generally acquired during the first tectonic phases occurring after sediment deposition, thus validating its use as temporally dependent strain proxy. Although most of the magnetic lineations trend NW–SE and are orthogonal to normal faults (as observed elsewhere in Calabria), few NE–SW compressive lineations show that the Neogene extensional regime of the Crotone basin was punctuated by compressive episodes. Finally, compressive lineations (prolate magnetic fabric) documented along the strike-slip fault bounding the basin to the south support the significance of Pleistocene strike-slip tectonics. Thus the Crotone basin shows a markedly different tectonics with respect to other internal and western basins of Calabria, as it yields a magnetic fabric still dominated by extensional tectonics but also revealing arc-normal shortening episodes and recent strike-slip fault activity. The tectonics documented in the Crotone basin is compatible with a continuous upper crustal structural reorganization occurring during the SE-migration of the Calabria terrane above the Ionian subduction system.     

云南地区近期地壳活动特征

基于云南省的GNSS连续观测资料,通过最小二乘、克里金插值等方法进行速度场、应变参数的求解,获得了自2010年起至今云南地区的地壳活动特征。结果表明,云南地区最大剪应变变化速率存在西强东弱,北强南弱的特征,目前滇西北地区最大剪应变增强最快,滇南至滇西南等区域挤压应变积累最明显,且2011年缅甸7.2级地震的发生未改变这一地区的应变积累趋势。     

运用H-k扫描和人工读取震相到时两种方法对比研究云南地区地壳结构

利用云南及其邻区59个宽频地震台站记录到的30°~100°远震资料,采用P波接收函数方法对云南地区的地壳厚度和地壳平均泊松比分布进行分析。研究结果显示:用H-k扫描和人工读取震相到时两种方法得到的云南地区地壳厚度和泊松比分布情况较为吻合。研究区域内Moho面埋深南浅北深,横向变化达30~40 km。在川滇菱形块体东南缘,地壳厚度等值线呈东南向舌状突出。泊松比呈块体分布特征,断裂两侧差异显著。高泊松比的分布主要集中在滇缅泰块体内和研究区域北部以及小江断裂附近,这与该区处于印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞俯冲前缘的特殊地理位置有关。
