Geoid determination using adapted reference field, seismic Moho depths and variable density contrast

 The traditional remove-restore technique for geoid computation suffers from two main drawbacks. The first is the assumption of an isostatic hypothesis to compute the compensation masses. The second is the double consideration of the effect of the topographic–isostatic masses within the data window through removing the reference field and the terrain reduction process. To overcome the first disadvantage, the seismic Moho depths, representing, more or less, the actual compensating masses, have been used with variable density anomalies computed by employing the topographic–isostatic mass balance principle. In order to avoid the double consideration of the effect of the topographic–isostatic masses within the data window, the effect of these masses for the used fixed data window, in terms of potential coefficients, has been subtracted from the reference field, yielding an adapted reference field. This adapted reference field has been used for the remove–restore technique. The necessary harmonic analysis of the topographic–isostatic potential using seismic Moho depths with variable density anomalies is given. A wide comparison among geoids computed by the adapted reference field with both the Airy–Heiskanen isostatic model and seismic Moho depths with variable density anomaly and a geoid computed by the traditional remove–restore technique is made. The results show that using seismic Moho depths with variable density anomaly along with the adapted reference field gives the best relative geoid accuracy compared to the GPS/levelling geoid.

利用重磁资料研究深部构造与金矿成矿关系

本文探讨了在山西省利用区域重磁资料研究深部构造与金矿成矿的关系及成矿环境的有利标志。研究结果表明，山西省的区域重、磁场以北东、北北东向为特点，中太古界为主要磁源层。根据磁场特征．用统计方法可将前寒武纪构造分为若干隆起和断陷，它们对金矿成矿起到了一定控制作用。另外，利用区域重力资料计算了山西省莫霍面深度，结果表明，莫霍面由东南向北西逐渐变深，莫霍面和岩石圈的结构控制了不同类型岩浆岩的展布，为选择金矿成矿有利地区提供了依据。并提出叠加型异常是重要的找矿靶区。     

青藏高原第一条超深反射地震剖面的数据采集及其处理方法

中美ＩＮＤＥＰＴＨ项目第一阶段先导性试验，提供了高分辨率、高信噪比和反射信息非常丰富的近垂直反射剖面。其中主喜马拉雅滑脱界面（ＭＨＴ）和深达７０—８０ｋｍ的Ｍｏｈｏ，清晰可见；Ｍｏｈｏ以下仍有反射信息。事实证明．采用井深５０ｍ、药量５０ｋｇ和５０ｓ超长记录长度３个技术措施后，近垂直反射技术可以取得深部反射信息。在工作中井深和激发岩性是影响记录质量的两个互相依赖的重要因素。资料分析表明．井深大于２５ｍ的单孔爆炸，其记录质量较好，而井深大于２５ｍ组合的炮记录，几乎接收不到深反射信息。钻井所采用的泥浆固井和装炸药后填井等技术措施，对提高记录质量有较大帮助。在地震数据处理工作中，针对激发岩性沿线变化剧烈，我们做了地表子波一致性处理和去噪处理，极大地提高了深反射叠加剖面的质量。

基于球面重力反演苏拉威西地区莫霍面结构

基于球坐标系的地球物理反演能有效避免地球曲率的影响, 适用于大尺度构造研究.本文基于重力异常数据在球坐标系下反演莫霍面深度, 结合数据误差及光滑正则化项建立反演目标函数并求解, 同时将该方法应用于苏拉威西地区.苏拉威西地区具有复杂的断裂系统、年轻的俯冲带, 是研究俯冲起始机制等前沿科学问题的理想场所.目前研究区的地球物理观测尚不充分, 缺乏对莫霍面形成有效约束的地震数据, 对研究区莫霍面的整体认识较少.本文基于卫星重力观测数据, 通过匹配滤波方法提取与研究区莫霍面结构相关的重力异常, 并结合频谱分析确定该地区的莫霍面深度参考值.在反演中, 通过两次随机子抽样交叉验证选择最优的超参数, 包括正则化因子、莫霍面密度差以及参考莫霍面深度, 迭代反演获得莫霍面深度.反演结果表明: 研究区莫霍面平均深度为20.0 km, 深度变化范围为9.2~33.3 km.总体上, 海区莫霍面浅, 约10.0~20.0 km, 陆区莫霍面深, 约25.0~33.0 km, 该结果与Crust1.0全球模型、前人重力反演结果以及地震数据基本相符, 总体上反映了苏拉威西地区的莫霍面变化特征.

TRANSVERSE STRUCTURES FEATURES OF DIFFERENT DEPTHS DERIVED FROM BOUGUER GRAVITY ANOMALIES IN THE SOUTHERN SEGMENT OF TAN-LU FAULT ZONE

To research the faults distribution and deep structures in the southern segment of Tan-Lu fault zone(TLFZ) and its adjacent area, this paper collects the Bouguer gravity data and makes separation by the multi-scale wavelet analysis method to analyze the crustal transverse structure of different depths. Meanwhile Moho interface is inversed by Parker variable density model. Research indicates that the southern segment of TLFZ behaves as a NNE-directed large-scale regional field gravity gradient zone, which separates the west North China-Dabie orogen block and the east Yangtze block, cutting the whole crust and lithosphere mantle. There are quite differences of density structures and tectonic features between both sides of this gradient belt. The sedimentary and upper crustal density structure is complex. The two east branches of TLFZ behave as linear gravity anomalous belt throughout the region, whereas the two west branches of TLFZ continue to extend after truncating the EW-trending gravity anomaly body. The lower crustal density structure is relatively simple. TLFZ behaves as a broad and gentle low abnormal belt, which reflects the Cretaceous-Paleogene extension environment caused graben structure. The two west branches of TLFZ, running through Hefei city, extend southward along the west margin of Feidong depression and pinch out in Shucheng area due to the high density trap occlusions in the south of Shucheng. The Feizhong Fault, Liu'an-Hefei Fault, and Feixi-Hanbaidu Fault intersect the two west branch faults of TLFZ without extending to the east. Recent epicenters are mainly located in conversion zones between the high-density and the low-density anomaly, especially in TLFZ and the junction of the faults, where earthquakes frequently occurred in the upper and middle crust. As strong earthquakes rarely occur in the southern segment of TLFZ, considering its deep feature of abrupt change of the Moho and intersections with many EW-trending faults, the hazard of strong earthquake cannot be ignored.
