2017年九寨沟MS 7.0地震震源深度测定

为了更好地确定2017年8月8日九寨沟M_(S )7.0地震震源深度其发震机理,利用四川、甘肃和青海区域地震台网的观测波形数据,采用多种方法研究了此次地震的震源深度。首先,采用gCAP方法反演了九寨沟M_(S )7.0地震的震源机制解和矩心深度,结果显示,节面Ⅰ走向243°/倾角87°/滑动角-158°,节面Ⅱ走向151°/倾角68°/滑动角-3°,矩震级为M_(W )6.5,矩心深度为8 km;然后,采用ISOLA近震全波形方法反演了此次地震的震源机制解,反演结果与gCAP方法结果相差不大,矩心深度为7 km;最后,通过sPn震相与Pn震相之间的走时差测定此次地震初始破裂震源深度,结果显示深度约为12 km。研究表明,九寨沟M_(S )7.0地震的矩心深度为7—8 km,初始破裂深度约为12 km。     

2018年佳木斯汤原ML 4.4地震震源机制及地震趋势分析

2018年1月15日佳木斯汤原县发生M_L 4.4地震,采用ISOLA方法反演矩张量解,结果显示为逆冲型地震,兼少量走滑成分。结合震源区地质构造背景,推断依舒断裂北段通河-汤原段西支断裂为发震构造,主压应力轴与背景应力场方向不一致。分析认为,黑龙江亚板块由东南转向东北运动,造成断层两侧应力产生差异,区域应力场调整诱发汤原M_L 4.4地震。     

Waveform inversion and focal mechanisms of two weak earthquakes in Cordillera Principal (Argentina) between 35° and 35.5° S

Only few (six) focal mechanism, in CMT Catalog, have been so far known for intraplate shallow events in the Andean chain close to Chile–Argentina state border at latitudes ∼35° S. We add two more mechanisms, depths and moment magnitudes by carefully analyzing full waveforms of weak events recorded by broad-band stations of the Chile Argentina Geophysical Experiment (southern profile). The moment magnitudes of both events (Mw = 3.6 and 3.7) are lower than the duration magnitudes (Md = 4.0 and 4.29) reported by NEIC. The source depth, constrained by waveforms for one of the studied events (5.5–8.5 km) seems to be considerably shallower than the hypocenter depth located by means of arrival times (∼20 km). The waveform analysis was complemented by first-motion polarities which resulted in an uncertainty assessment of the focal mechanism. Event 1 (2001-11-03) has a strike-slip mechanism with a small normal component and almost vertical nodal planes in the north-south and east-west directions. The north-south nodal plane could be related to the Calabozos faults system. Event 2 (2002-02-16) has a strike-slip mechanism with a small thrust component. The latter event (its subhorizontal nodal plane) could be associated with the El Diablo-El Fierro fault system. Dextral strike-slip solutions are consistent with recent studies in the area.     

2019年四川长宁MS6.0地震孕震机理分析

基于四川省、贵州省、重庆市数字地震台网的三分量宽频带波形资料和震相报告数据,使用Geiger定位法和ISOLA反演方法,对长宁M_S6.0地震序列进行重定位,并反演序列中5次M_S≥5.0地震震源机制解。重定位结果显示,地震序列主要分布在白象岩-狮子滩背斜轴部,总体沿NW65°方向展布,沿该方向震源深度特征为北西深、南东浅。震源机制解反演结果显示,主震破裂表现为高倾角左旋走滑特征,节面Ⅰ走向/倾角/滑动角为20°/72°/151°,节面Ⅱ走向/倾角/滑动角为120°/62°/21°,与白象岩-狮子滩背斜轴部走向基本一致。5次地震纯双力偶（double-couple,DC）成分含量均小于70%,矩心深度均小于10 km。综合分析认为,此次长宁M_S6.0地震发震断层为发育在白象岩-狮子滩背斜的左旋走滑断层,震因为流体注入和复杂的地质构造活动。
