Hydrogeological and Gasgeochemical Earthquake Precursors – A Review for Application

Even if earthquake precursory signals can be identified, how can they be useful? This paper investigates relationships among the attributes of 229 proposed earthquake related gasgeochemical and hydrogeological precursory signals, and applies these results to improve future earthquake prediction strategies. Sub-groups of these reported signals and relationships between sub-groups are established using parameters, including earthquake magnitude, signal duration, precursory time, and epicentral distance to the monitoring site (original studies are used wherever possible to improve data quality). A strong correlation (r=0.86) between signal duration and precursory time was identified. This suggests a relationship between the investigated precursory signals and tectonic processes related to the referenced earthquakes. Moreover, these signals are categorized into four groups, reflecting differences in monitoring station densities, measurement methods and physical processes related to signal occurrence: (a) radon exhalation from the earth’s crust, (b) exhalation of other gases (helium, argon and others), (c) temporal variation in water level or discharge of springs and (d) temporal variation in temperature and dissolved ions in the water of the monitoring sites. In addition, boundary functions are used to separate signal group subsets. Finally, it is shown how these boundary functions can be used in the context of an earthquake prediction strategy by identifying potential minimum magnitudes and maximum epicentral distances from the monitoring site.

Electromagnetic emissions during dilating fracture of a rock

A lot of experiments on electromagnetic emissions (EMEs) have been reported under axial compressive fracture, shear fracture, indentation fracture and stick–slip (friction) in lab and blasting in situ, but there are rare reports on the in-lab experimental work on EMEs during dilating fracture of a rock which is helpful in studying and understanding EMEs related to slow earthquakes and the earthquakes due to volcanic activities and water level changes of reservoirs. Therefore, in the present paper in order to check whether there are detectable EMEs during dilating fracture of a rock in lab, dilating fracture experiments were conducted. The dry cuboid specimens of initially intact granodiorite and limestone were tested inside magnetic field free space (MFFS) at room temperature. We arranged evenly 20 EME antennas whose resonance frequencies range from 2.5 kHz to 540 kHz close to rock specimens. Our experimental results strongly indicate that detectable EMEs could generate during dilating fracture of a rock. They were recorded only associated with some but not all phases of fracture. Their waveforms often took on the trend that a peak arrived at first and then attenuated sharply and followed by a series of low-amplitude oscillations. The electromagnetic (EM) signals after eliminating the effects of EME antennae via deconvolution had the maximum peak-to-peak amplitudes of about 80.0 mV and 40.5 mV for granodiorite and limestone, respectively. Their main spectral components often concentrated in the band of several kHz to ∼60 kHz and of several kHz to ∼280 kHz. The emission of electrons and charged particles from fracture surfaces and/or micro-fracture electrification could be possible mechanisms for our experimental results.     

投弃式海流电场剖面仪中模拟电路的研制

投弃式海流电场剖面仪(XCP)是利用海流切割地磁场产生感生电场的原理进行快速测量海流的观测仪器,在地磁场稳定的情况下,感生电场的大小主要取决于海流的速度。因此,通过测量海流产生的感生电场便可以研究海流的运动特征。本文研制了用于XCP中的模拟电路,实现了对XCP中电极信号、罗盘线圈信号及温度信号的采集预处理。所设计模拟电路主要实现以下功能：(1)通过INA128放大电路实现对电极信号与罗盘线圈信号的多级放大处理;(2)考虑到电极信号与罗盘线圈信号均为频率16 Hz左右的信号,在电路中加入中心频率点为16 Hz的二阶带通滤波电路以提取有效信号;(3)进行硬件电路补偿,在一定程度上克服XCP探头下沉引起感生电场的强干扰。实验测试结果表明,所设计模拟电路稳定可靠,可以实现滤除噪声,提取前端微弱信号并进行多级放大,满足实际应用需求。     

利用反射GPS信号遥感土壤湿度

在水文、气候、农业等问题的研究中,土壤湿度信息十分重要。近年来,利用GPS系统进行遥感的新方法,已经越来越多地引起研究者们的关注。特别是GPS卫星广播的L1（1.57542GHz）频率信号,是土壤湿度遥感的最佳频率。反射GPS信号功率是土壤介电常数的函数,而土壤介电常数又和土壤湿度有关。根据这一原理,美国国家航空与航天局于2002年进行了基于地表面反射GPS信号的遥感土壤湿度实验。结果证明反射GPS信号对土壤湿度特性十分敏感,由于植被的影响对反射率进行了修正,并用此方法模型与其它方法进行了比较。在利用GPS遥感土壤湿度方面,研制高增益天线,更好的修正信号波动的影响,发展更加完善的遥感土壤湿度方法等是今后在此项研究中所要解决的问题。     

基于解析信号振幅识别磁源体边界的分析解释方法

解析信号本质上是一种全通滤波器,由于其不受人为因素干扰,能够较好地反映原始信号包含的信息特征。该方法不仅是对非平稳信号进行分析的有效方法,也是检测信号局部特征的有力工具。本文通过对实信号的解析信号处理得到复信号,由该复信号的振幅,能清晰地刻画信号能量空间分布特征。模型试验表明,解析信号振幅方法减小了常规化极方法在勘探程度较低的地区引起假异常的问题,使地下磁性体与振幅中心位置对应。尤其在低纬度或地形切割较大的地区,该方法更具优势。将该方法应用于老挝爬立山铁矿区实测磁异常的分析,由此圈定了磁铁矿分布位置,并由区内56个钻孔证实该推断的可靠性。
