中国东北的深源地震波形匹配检测及定位

中国东北珲春周边地区位于环太平洋地震带上,也是中国唯一存在的深源地震带.较大地震发生后常会有若干震级较小的余震发生,但在相同的地震震级情况下深源地震的余震一般比浅源地震的余震数量要少1~3个数量级,且在全球不同深震区的深震余震数量也存在显著差异.针对国际地震中心（ISC）2010年7月至2014年12月目录中给出的中国东北附近27次震源深度超过300 km的深源地震,我们首先利用区域固定地震台及NECsaids流动地震台阵的连续波形数据,选取已知地震事件作为模板,采用Match&Locate及Matched Filter方法进行波形互相关叠加分析来检测微小深震事件;然后对1966至2017年ISC目录中的东北地区深源地震进行双差重定位以提高震源位置的准确性,进一步分析深震活动与俯冲板片的关系.研究结果显示除ISC目录中给出的深震事件,我们未能检测出作为模板的深源地震的前震或余震活动,证明东北深源地震余震活动较少并不是由于台站分布有限而造成的漏检结果;重定位后震源延伸的角度与西太平洋板片在410~660 km地幔转换带内的俯冲角度较为一致,并且大部分深震震源位置位于俯冲板片中的亚稳态橄榄岩楔形区内部.结合双差定位结果、b值分析及前人研究成果,我们认为东北深源地震应不属于与俯冲非直接相关的"孤立地震",而是与西太平洋板块俯冲直接相关.     

根据幔源橄榄岩包体的结构特征探讨中深源地震的成因

我国东北地区东部的珲春、东宁、延古、穆陵、牡丹江一带是内陆中深源地震区.对于这一区域中深源地震的成因.一般认为是由于西太平洋板块由东往西向着亚洲大陆俯冲.消减带受到强烈的挤压、摩擦.从而发生破裂滑动而引起的.例如.张立人等(1983)根据地幔物质和岩石圈板块的温度状态计算了俯冲板块内的温度分布.认为板块内温度远低于同一深度上的地幔温度.因此.可以产生弹性断裂、发生地震. 本文则试图从幔源橄榄岩包体的结构特征探讨中深源地震发生的环境和成因.以期对中深源地震的孕育和发生过程获得进一步的认识.     

日本海沟俯冲带热结构与深源地震

本文利用有限差分方法,计算了全地幔对流模式和双层地幔对流模式下日本海沟俯冲带热结构、浮力及P波速度异常分布,基于亚稳态橄榄石相变模型推测亚稳态橄榄石的存在范围,同时分析了热传导系数、热膨胀系数和热源对俯冲带热结构的影响,以及俯冲带所受浮力与俯冲带形态的关系.结果表明,双层地幔对流模式下模拟的P波速度异常分布与层析成像结果更为相符,也与深源地震的分布有较好的相关性.板块内部亚稳态橄榄石的存在范围随热传导系数和热膨胀系数的减小而增大,同时忽略相变潜热和剪切生热的影响也会造成模型所预测的亚稳态橄榄石范围偏大.俯冲带所受负浮力在400 km深度附近达到最大值,亚稳态橄榄石的存在使负浮力逐渐减小,甚至在板块内部产生正浮力,不利于俯冲带穿透660 km相变界面.     

台湾地震对称分区及与粤闽交界中强地震的对应关系

根据近几年来关于台湾地区北西向构造研究的最新进展,以北部菲律宾板块俯冲带和南部南海次板块俯冲带北西向的交界线为界,研究了北南两个区域深源地震分布的对称性,说明在此研究区域的构造活动上两个方向相反的俯冲带起到了控制作用。研究中还发现南海次板块深源地震、两个俯冲带的震级影响函数与粤闽交界及台湾海峡区域中强地震有较好的对应关系,两者都显示自2000年以来粤闽交界及台湾海峡处于5级以上地震平静期。     

环太平洋俯冲带内双地震带及其成因机制研究进展

俯冲带作为地球最为庞大的循环系统的重要组成部分,已成为地球科学的研究热点之一.很多俯冲带,特别是环太平洋俯冲带内的中深源地震,在空间上呈明显的分层分布,并且各层地震具有不同的震源机制,即所谓的双地震带现象.本文简要介绍了环太平洋双地震带形态特征与震源机制的空间分布,并回顾了双地震带的几种成因模型.根据形态特征和震源机制的差异,中源深度的双地震带可以分为两类,其中,一类双地震带对应上、下二层分别为压缩和张性的地震分布;另一类双地震带的震源分布较浅,且其浅部地震以横向压缩为主.此外,日本本州东北俯冲带的地震分布可能是由三层地震带组成的,而且汤加、伊豆-小笠原地区还发现深源深度的双地震带.通过对双地震带的形态特征以及其热力学条件的研究,人们从抗弯作用、脱水脆化、相变断层等多方面,尝试建立解释双地震带成因的模型.目前,大多数研究利用数值计算结果,结合蛇纹石脱水脆化、相变断层模型,能够不同程度地分别解释中源和深源双地震带成因.不过,这些模型几乎相互独立,并不能同时解释中源和深源双地震带.有人试图尝试用统一模型解释中深源地震成因,例如,先前存在的断层模型,不过该模型还不很具有说服力.也可能是多种因素的联合作用,共同影响着俯冲板内的温度场、应力场分布.     

宽频带海底地震仪的地震重定位对马尼拉俯冲板片形态的约束

将宽频带OBS用于海底天然地震长期观测,在国内尚处于实验阶段.2015年在马尼拉俯冲带北段开展了为期6个月的宽频带海底天然地震观测试验.根据回收的1台海底地震仪(OBS04)与国际地震台网的718台陆地地震台站,共记录到7562个P波走时和5002个S波走时数据,利用Hyposat地震定位方法,对马尼拉俯冲带北部(119°E—123°E,19°N—22°N)在2015年8月至2016年2月期间的264个地震进行了重定位.地震重定位的结果及定位误差分析表明,在海域布设的OBS04台站让地震观测的空间分布更为合理,提高了地震定位精度;重定位后的震中分布更为集中,与地质构造吻合良好;浅部的地震活动较为活跃,分布密集,与浅部断层发育有关;重定位后的4条震源深度投影剖面,从不同角度较好地约束了俯冲板片上边界的板片形态,板片倾角在浅部0～30km区间约为10°～22°,随着深度的增加,俯冲板片逐渐变陡,在深度120～180km处倾角约为41°～58°.该项研究为马尼拉俯冲带北段的板片形态提供了重要约束,而且为今后长期天然地震观测提供了重要而宝贵的经验与借鉴.

京津冀地区地震重新定位及其与活动断裂的关系

地震重新定位为地震活动和活动构造等研究提供了相对精确的地震参数。本文采用双差地震定位法对京津冀及周边地区2007年12月~2016年3月底的地震进行重新定位,并结合区内的活动断裂资料,探讨重定位后地震的空间分布特征、震源深度分布特征及其与已知活动断裂的关系,并根据重定位后地震空间线性条带的走向揭示隐伏断裂。研究结果表明,重定位后,地震主要集中在唐山、邢台、张渤带西段和文安地区,震中在空间上的分布比由常规地震确定的初始震中更为集中,沿断裂走向更加收敛;震源深度分布更加合理,主要集中在1~20km的中上地壳层;定位结果显示唐山断裂、卢龙断裂为北西倾高角断层,新河断裂为北西向低倾角断层,张北震区、延矾盆地和怀涿盆地断裂、黄庄—高丽营断裂、夏垫断裂等地区的地震活动剖面呈近直立分布;另外,根据重定位后地震的线性分布还刻划出唐山断裂北段的南侧、文安北部两条近NNE方向的隐伏断裂。本文的研究结果对京津冀地区的地震活动、断层构造以及地震孕育发生环境具有重要意义。

Seismic imaging of the entire arc of Tohoku and Hokkaido in Japan using P-wave, S-wave and sP depth-phase data

In order to better understand seismic structure and seismotectonics of the entire arc of Tohoku and Hokkaido in Japan, we combined arrival time data from earthquakes beneath Tohoku and Hokkaido land areas, and beneath the Pacific Ocean to determine the three-dimensional (3D) velocity structures (Vp and Vs) under the entire Northeast (NE) Japan-Kuril arc. We adopted 176,431 P-wave and 110,953 S-wave arrival times, from 5123 local earthquakes, and 2843 sP depth-phase data from 385 events that occurred beneath the Pacific Ocean. The 385 suboceanic events were accurately relocated by using P-wave, S-wave and sP depth-phase arrival time data jointly. The obtained results confirmed the major features delineated by previous studies and revealed some new features of the structural heterogeneity beneath NE Japan and the Kuril forearcs. High-velocity anomalies of the cold subducting Pacific slab and low-velocity anomalies in the hot mantle wedge were imaged clearly. Strong lateral heterogeneities were revealed on the upper boundary of the Pacific slab under the forearc region, which showed a good correlation with the spatial distribution of large interplate earthquakes. These results indicated that strong coupling sections (or asperities) and weak-coupled or decoupled patches might exist along the upper boundary of the Pacific slab. Widespread low-velocity anomalies were visible in the forearc mantle above the subducting Pacific slab, which might reflect serpentinization of the forearc mantle associated with the dehydration process of the subducting slab. Our results also showed a general tendency for seismic coupling in the asperities to be located around low-velocity areas on the slab boundary under the suboceanic region.     

Suboceanic earthquake location and seismic structure in the Kanto district,central Japan

We present a combined method, using sP depth-phase data and double-difference arrival times, to determine the precise hypocenter locations of earthquakes that occur under the Pacific Ocean outside of the area covered by the land-based seismic network. We assess the effectiveness of the combined method using a data set of P- and S-wave arrival times and sP depth phase from suboceanic earthquakes recorded by both land-based seismic stations and offshore seismic stations (OFS). The hypocenters of the offshore earthquakes relocated using the combined method are consistent with those determined using the standard location method and OFS data. The differences in the hypocenters relocated by the two methods are less than 4 km. We applied the method to the subduction region that underlies the Kanto district, central Japan, and located a large number of earthquakes that occurred beneath the Pacific Ocean. We then determined the detailed 3D seismic velocity structure by inverting a large number of arrival times of P- and S-waves and sP depth phase from the relocated earthquakes in the study region. High-velocity anomalies related to the cold subducting Pacific slab and low-velocity anomalies related to the hot mantle wedge are clearly imaged. Beneath active volcanoes, low-velocity zones are visible from the surface to a depth of 100 km, reflecting fluids released by dehydration of the subducting Pacific slab. Strong lateral heterogeneities are revealed on the upper boundary of the Pacific slab beneath the forearc region. The low-velocity areas under the offshore region are associated with low seismicity and weak interplate coupling. A low-velocity layer is imaged along the upper boundary of the Philippine Sea slab in the northern part of Kanto district, which may reflect dehydration of the slab. Our tomographic images indicate that the overlaying Philippine Sea plate has effects on the spatial distribution of active volcanoes related to the subducting Pacific slab in the study region.     

The landward thinning of the low-velocity layer across the Kurile-Japan trench

Composite P-wave seismograms are constructed for intermediate earthquakes in the Kurile region using seismic stations in central and western Japan. Ray paths are approximately parallel to the intermediate seismic zone along the Kurile-Japan arc. A compressional velocity structure model is constructed from the travel time and relative amplitude data for the upper mantle involving this intermediate seismic zone. The absence of any significant low-velocity layer below the descending slab of lithosphere can be shown from the data. Instead, the model consistent with the observed data has a non-velocity gradient layer of about 30 km thickness beneath the descending slab. The result suggests that the low-velocity layer beneath the Pacific plate thins landward across the Kurile-Japan trench and does not descend along the base of the descending slab.     

Regionality of deep low-frequency earthquakes associated with subduction of the Philippine Sea plate along the Nankai Trough, southwest Japan

The Fukuoka District Meteorological Observatory recently logged three possible deep low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs) beneath eastern Kyushu, Japan, a region in which LFEs and low-frequency tremors have never before been identified. To assess these data, we analyzed band-pass filtered velocity seismograms and relocated LFEs and regular earthquakes using the double-difference method. The results strongly suggest that the three events were authentic LFEs, each at a depth of about 50 km. We also performed relocation analysis on LFEs recorded beneath the Kii Peninsula and found that these LFEs occurred near the northwest-dipping plate interface at depths of approximately 29–38 km. These results indicate that LFEs in southwest Japan occur near the upper surface of the subducting Philippine Sea (PHS) plate. To investigate the origin of regional differences in the occurrence frequency of LFEs in western Shikoku, the Kii Peninsula, and eastern Kyushu, we calculated temperature distributions associated with PHS plate subduction. Then, using the calculated thermal structures and a phase diagram of water dehydration for oceanic basalt, the water dehydration rate (wt.%/km), which was newly defined in this study, was determined to be 0.19, 0.12, and 0.08 in western Shikoku, the Kii Peninsula, and eastern Kyushu, respectively; that is, the region beneath eastern Kyushu has the lowest water dehydration rate value. Considering that the Kyushu–Palau Ridge that is subducting beneath eastern Kyushu is composed of tonalite, which is low in hydrous minerals, this finding suggests that the regionality may be related to the amount of water dehydration associated with subduction of the PHS plate and/or differences in LFE depths. Notable dehydration reactions take place beneath western Shikoku and the Kii Peninsula, where the depth ranges for dehydration estimated by thermal modeling agree well with those for the relocated LFEs. The temperature range in which LFEs occur in these regions is estimated to be 400–500 °C.     

Double Difference Location of the Mainshock and Aftershocks of the Hutubi MS6.2 Earthquake That Occurred on December 8, 2016

The mainshock and aftershocks of the Hutubi M_S6.2 earthquake on December 8, 2016 were relocated by applying the double difference method, and we relocated 477 earthquakes in the Hutubi region.The earthquake relocation results show that the aftershocks are distributed in the east-west direction towards the north side of the southern margin of the Junggar Basin fault, and are mainly distributed in the western region of the mainshock. The distance between the mainshock after relocation and the southern margin of the Junggar Basin fault is obviously shortened. Combined with the focal mechanism and the spatial distribution of the mainshock and aftershocks, it is inferred that the southern margin of the Junggar Basin fault is the main seismogenic structure of the Hutubi earthquake.     

藏南地区中深源地震精确定深研究及其地球动力学含义

利用2004～2005年Hi-CLIMB计划架设在藏南日喀则附近由28台宽频带数字地震仪组成的二维台阵的地震记录,应用双差层析定位方法(TomoDD)对454个区域地震进行了精确重定位,共确定了340个地震的精确位置.发现区域震源深度呈明显的双层分布,其中有21 个地震的深度在50～80 km之间,与该地区的莫霍面深度相近.通过不同深度震源的理论地震图与实际地震图对比的方法,发现震源位置位于莫霍面上下地震图的震相存在明显差异,从而给出了存在地幔地震的直接观测证据.这一发现,对长期争论的地幔地震是否存在及大陆岩石圈流变结构的“三明治”模型有重要参考意义.
