用随机有限断层方法模拟2016-11-13新西兰Mw7.8地震

在未来大地震发震构造已知的前提下,提出用经验公式确定大地震断层长度、宽度、地震矩和滑动分布等参数,并用随机有限断层方法预测未来大地震。用随机有限断层方法模拟2016-11-13新西兰M_W7.8地震的12个基岩台站地震动时程和反应谱,并用模拟的频谱幅值与记录频谱幅值平均比值确定模拟误差。结果表明,在周期为0~10 s的范围内,模拟误差在0.92~1.08之间,不同频率模拟误差的标准差变化范围不超过1。95%的置信区间宽度随频率无明显变化,模拟结果反映了地震动记录的平均效果。用准随机方法重新获取新西兰大地震断层初始破裂点和位错滑动分布,模拟地震动并计算模拟误差随频率的变化,得到与最初模型相似的结论,从而进一步证实了本文提出的获取震源参数并用随机有限断层方法预测未来大地震的可靠性,且其特别适用于大地震远场模拟。     

2017-08-09新疆精河Ms6.6地震附近区域相对应变的变化分析

2017年精河M_S6.6地震震前,尼勒克、巴伦台和小泉沟台钻孔应变仪记录到显著的应变变化,经现场落实确认,异常是可靠的。根据这3个台的记录资料计算相对应变的变化,结果表明,地震前最大（小）主应变大小和方向分别出现明显加速和急剧偏转变化。此外还发现,相对应变场异常期间主方向与震源机制解P轴方位较为一致。     

利用InSAR资料反演宁洱Ms6.4地震震源参数及库仑应力变化

首先利用ALOS PALSAR数据,通过D-InSAR技术获取2007-06-03云南宁洱MS6.4地震的同震形变场,然后基于Okada弹性半空间位错模型反演该地震的断层几何以及精细滑动分布,最后计算宁洱地震后周边断层的静态库仑应力变化。结果表明,形变主要集中在西盘,最大视线向形变量为51.6 cm;反演得到的震源位置为23.05°N、101.02°E,深度3 km,断层走向145°,倾向49.5°,平均滑动角153°,发震断层为NNW向普洱断裂,断层活动以右旋走滑为主,兼具逆冲分量;断层面最大滑动量为1.2 m,反演得到的震级为MW619。基于库仑应力场发现,磨黑断裂处于库仑应力增加区域,而2014年景谷地震位于负值区域。结合实地考察资料和反演结果表明,宁洱地震为浅源地震,但断层并未出露地表。

2017年南丹Ms4.0地震前后重力变化

利用广西及邻区2014~2017年流动重力观测资料,系统分析区域重力场变化及其与2017-07-15广西南丹MS4.0地震的关系,并结合GPS观测数据与地震地质调查成果,探讨区域重力场变化的时空分布特征及机理。结果表明：1）南丹M_S4.0地震前后,震区附近重力异常变化与主干断裂关系密切,反映沿控震断裂在2014~2017年间发生了引起地表重力变化效应的地壳变形和构造活动;2）差分重力图像表明,南丹M_S4.0地震前重力变化为“局部重力异常→四象限重力异常→重力反向变化发震”的过程;3）重力变化与GPS 观测反映的水平运动表明,南丹M_S4.0地震位于重力四象限分布中心部位及面压缩峰值附近,证明重力场和形变场动态变化对中强地震地点预测具有指示意义;4）天峨-南丹-环江一带是重力变化最剧烈地区,亦是水平形变面压缩过渡带,同时位于莫霍面等深线强烈变化地段、M_L3.0地震围空区、沿主断裂存在的低b值异常区。结合地震活动图像、定点前兆观测异常综合分析认为,该地区仍存在发生中强地震的可能。

九寨沟Ms7.0级地震三维同震形变场提取

针对D-InSAR地震形变监测中存在LOS(line of sight)视线向模糊的问题,该文构建了一种融合升降轨不同视线向干涉测量数据获取三维同震形变场的方法。以2017年九寨沟M_S7.0级地震为例,基于研究区的Sentine1_1A数据和SRTM(1″)DEM数据,采用二轨差分的D-InSAR技术,融合升降轨LOS向以及自定义视线向的干涉测量数据进行联合解算,获取了研究区三维同震形变场,解决了单一轨道雷达LOS提取结果不能准确反映地表三维形变场的问题。实验表明,此次地震造成了震中附近一定范围地表的沉降和东南向的滑移,并通过震区形变剖面图和形变等值线图,分析了形变场的空间分布以及此次地震所造成地表断裂的位置,认为此次地震与塔藏断裂、虎牙断裂存在关联性,其运动形式为主动盘逆冲的走滑型地震。     

鄂尔多斯地块周缘三维地壳速度结构研究

鄂尔多斯地块及周缘位于青藏高原与华北地块之间,其内部无大断裂分布,而周缘却由活跃的地震带——活动断陷带和弧形断裂带包围.因此,鄂尔多斯地块内部无6级以上大地震分布,而周缘地震活动则频度高、强度大(图1),历史上发生多次破坏性大地震,如:1654 年天水南8.0 级、1879 年武都南8.0级、1920 年宁夏海原81/...     

Causes of rockfalls in Al-Huwayshah area, Yemen

According to topography of Yemen, most areas and villages are located at obligated crest, toe of mountain and under cliffs. Therefore Al-Huwayshah consisting of Tawilah sandstone group is characterized by steep slope reach to 90° in some areas. This area is affected by strong tectonic movements and faults that occurred during the geological epochs. This effect enhances to find out fractures and joints as well as the rocks become brittle and ready to slide depending on the position of area. And there are some fractures and joints on the surface of the areas due to tectonic movement associated with opening the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The rainfalls, fractures, joints, earthquakes, gravity, vegetations, temperatures and human activities play a big role in the processes of rockfalls and landslides in this area. All those factors are considered as the basic causes and catalyzed factors for occurrence of rockfall in the studide area. In addition, the authors carried out laboratory test for many rock samples to get the physical properties of the rocks.     

Habitat range of two alpine medicinal plants in a trans-Himalayan dry valley, Central Nepal

Understanding of the habitat range of threatened Himalayan medicinal plants which are declining in their abundance due to high anthropogenic disturbances is essential for developing conservation strategies and agrotechnologies for cultivation. In this communication, we have discussed the habitat range of two alpine medicinal plants, Aconitum naviculare （Bruehl） Stapf and Neopicrorhiza scrophulariiflora （Pennel） Hong in a trans-Himalayan dry valley of central Nepal, Manang district. They are the most prioritized medicinal plants of the study area in terms of ethnomedicinal uses. A. naviculare occurs on warm and dry south facing slopes between 4090-4650 m asl along with sclerophyllous and thorny alpine scrubs, while N. scrophulariiflora is exclusively found on cool and moist north facing slope between 4000 and 4400 m asl where adequate water is available from snow melt to create a suitable habitat for this wetland dependent species. The soil in rooting zone of the two plants differs significantly in organic carbon （OC）, organic matter （OM）, total nitrogen （N） and carbon to nitrogen （C/N） ratio. Due to cool and moist condition of N. scrophulariiflora habitat, accumulation of soil OC is higher, but soil N content is lower probably due to slow release from litter, higher leaching loss and greater retention in perennial live biomass of the plant. The C/N ratio of soil is more suitable in A. navuculare habitat than that of N scrophulariiflora for N supply. Warm and sunny site with N rich soil can be suitable for cultivation ofA. naviculare, while moist and cool site with organic soil for N. scrophulariiflora. The populations of both the plants are fragmented and small. Due to collection by human and trampling damage by livestock, the population of A. naviculare was found absent in open areas in five of the six sampling sites and it was confined only within the bushes of alpine scrubs. For N. serophulariiflora, high probability of complete receding of small glaeiers may be a new threat in future to its habitat. The information about habitat conditions, together with the information from other areas, ean be useful to identify potential habitats and plan for cultivation or domestication of the two medieinal plants.
