基于GNSS观测的泸定MS6.8地震震前变形演化特征研究

利用2017—2020年中国局部GNSS速度场和地壳运动观测网络的基准站时间序列数据,从基线时间序列变化特征、多尺度地壳应变参数两方面,详细分析了2022年泸定M_S6.8地震前的构造变形及其演化特征,得到以下认识:①2021年玛多M_S7.4地震后,巴颜喀拉块体内部甘孜—小金、炉霍—小金基线时间序列的加速压缩,表明其边界断裂受同震破裂影响发生解耦并加速向南、东向推挤,导致鲜水河断裂南段—龙门山断裂西南段所围限的三岔口一带的应变能积累速率加快,地震危险性增加;②泸定M_S6.8地震处于大型走滑断裂带剪切应变高值边缘的弱化区、垂直于断层方向应变的张性区,表明闭锁背景下正应变的减小有利于断层破裂和地震成核。     

2022年门源MS6.9和2016年门源MS6.4地震序列比较分析

2022年1月8日青海省海北州门源县发生M_S6.9地震,震中距离2016年1月21日门源M_S6.4地震震中约33km,两次门源地震均发生在冷龙岭断裂附近,但在震源机制、主发震断层破裂过程及地震序列余震活动等方面显著不同。针对两次门源地震序列的比较分析,对研究冷龙岭断裂及其附近区域强震序列和余震衰减特征等具有重要研究意义。通过对比分析2022年门源M_S6.9地震和2016年门源M_S6.4地震余震的时空演化特征,发现二者在震源过程和断层破裂尺度上存在明显差异,前者发震断层破裂充分,震后能量释放充分,余震丰富且震级偏高;而后者发震断层未破裂至地表,余震震级水平偏低。综合分析两次门源地震序列表现出来的差异性,认为其可能与地震发震断层的破裂过程密切相关,且同时受到区域构造环境的影响。     

2022年9月5日四川泸定MS6.8地震舆情分析

2022年9月5日12时52分,四川省甘孜州泸定县发生 M_S6.8地震,造成重大人员伤亡,引起社会公众的广泛关注。突发事件的信息发布和舆情引导越来越受到党和政府的高度重视,相关信息公开效率的影响甚至决定了事件处置的舆情发展。本研究以中国地震台网中心为舆情引导主体,对四川泸定 M_S6.8地震舆情进行分析研究,总结舆情引导经验,探讨突发地震舆情引导对地震部门有效开展震后应急的促进作用,以期为今后的防震减灾新闻宣传工作带来启示和思考。     

用PTD方法测定2017年精河MS6.6地震序列的深度

2017年8月9日精河发生M_S6.6地震,随后发生一系列余震。本文采用PTD方法和新疆测震台网分析的震相数据,基于新疆“2015地壳速度模型”,计算了该地震序列的震源深度,得到M_S6.6主震震源深度约为14km,M_S≥2.5余震深度为9～18km。所有震相数据来自中国地震台网中心编目数据库。     

2018年9月4日新疆伽师MS5.5地震序列及发震构造讨论

2018年9月4日新疆伽师发生M_S5.5地震,震中处于塔里木地块西北缘,位于1997~1998年伽师强震群震区内。此次伽师地震前发生了M_S4.7前震,截至9月30日最大余震震级为M_S4.6（M_L5.0）,初步判定为前-主-余型地震序列。序列精定位结果显示,余震沿近NE向展布,主震震源深度与1997~1998年伽师强震主震基本一致,发震断层陡立。本文从区域的构造环境、地震震源机制解和余震分布特征等方面分析认为,地震发生在伽师隐伏断裂东南端部,为1997~1998年伽师强震群震区的一次新的构造活动。序列参数、视应力等计算结果显示,伽师M_S5.5地震的预测最大余震震级与最大余震震级M_S4.6接近,表明序列最大余震已经发生。     

重庆荣昌井水温同震-震后响应特征及机理研究

利用位于华蓥山断裂带的重庆荣昌井水温数字化分钟值观测资料,统计分析了该井水温对2008年1月—2021年9月全球M_S≥7.0、川滇地区M_S≥6.0、重庆及周边地区M_S≥4.0共273次地震的同震-震后响应动态特征,对井水温同震优势方向成因和机理进行了深入研究,获得以下认识:①荣昌井水温同震-震后响应能力较好,对近震和远震均可记录到;该井水温同震响应由深及浅的顺序发生,响应持续时间随观测深度的增加而增加,响应幅度随观测深度的增加而减小,且该井水温同震-震后响应持续时间较同井水位的长;②自观测以来,荣昌井多层水温同震响应方向均为上升,说明单个井水温对不同地震的同震响应存在优势响应方向,水温的同震特征更依赖于井孔自身观测条件的影响;荣昌井水温同震响应优势方向上升可能是地震波的扰动造成井下深部气体释放,并沿裂隙上升进入井含水层系统而引起;③荣昌井水位-水温对中、远场地震的同震为同向上升正相关关系或振荡—上升,对近场地震的同震为水位下降—水温上升的反相关关系,可能是近场地震和中、远场地震引起的水位同震响应变化机制不一致所致;引起荣昌井水温同震变化的地震波能量密度e(r)＞10^-5J/m³,而引起荣昌井水温和水位同震反向变化的地震波能量密度e(r)＞1J/m³。     

青海门源MS6.9地震井水位与水温同震响应特征分析

基于全国地震地下流体台网数据库,分析了2022年1月8日青海海北藏族自治州门源县 M_S6.9地震引起的地下流体井水位、水温同震响应特征。结果表明:本次地震引起的水位同震响应观测井数量远大于水温;水位同震响应开始时间、结束时间均优先于水温,水温同震响应是水位同震响应的次生变化。对比门源2022年1月8日 M_S6.9和2016年1月21日 M_S6.4地震,发现地震能量不同是造成两次地震同震响应差异的主要原因。     

2010年青海玉树MS7.1地震序列ETAS模型参数及其变化特征研究

采用时间序列的“传染型余震序列”（ETAS）模型和最大似然法对2010年4月14日青海玉树M_S7.1地震序列的参数进行了估计。为考察其结果的稳定性,设定不同的截止震级和不同的拟合截止时间分别进行序列参数估算。选用截止震级M_C=M_L1.5对玉树M_S7.1地震序列整体的参数进行拟合,计算获得α=0.948 2,p=1.059 6和b=0.817 3。与中国大陆M>7.0地震序列的平均序列参数相比较表明,玉树M_S7.1地震序列表现为触发次级余震的能力较弱,序列衰减速率较快。研究表明,截止震级M_C对α、k和p值有一定的影响。随截止震级逐渐增大,参数k值逐渐减小,α值总体上有增加的趋势,而对p值的影响较小。在地震序列的早期阶段,ETAS模型参数中的p值和α值在震后14天内随时间的变化幅度较为明显,其后各参数变化相对平稳。     

2017年8月8日四川九寨沟MS7.0地震前甘肃南部地区视应力变化

利用甘肃省区域台网提供的地震波形资料,计算甘肃南部地区2010年1月～2017年8月M_L≥2.0地震的视应力,分析九寨沟地震前甘南地区视应力的时空演化特征,所得结果如下：①M_L2.6～3.1、M_L2.0～2.5震级段地震视应力的空间分布具有较好的一致性,九寨沟M_S7.0地震前,距震中较近的川甘交界地区的舟曲、文县等地呈现出较为集中的视应力高值异常;②M_L2.0～2.5、M_L2.6～3.1地震的视应力在大区域范围内随时间的变化趋势有一定差异,M_L2.6～3.1地震视应力变化更为明显,在较大区域范围内表现为震前显著升高,而M_L2.0～2.5地震视应力则在震前一两年内开始下降;③随着区域划分范围向震中靠近,M_L2.0～2.5、M_L2.6～3.1地震视应力的变化逐渐趋于一致,至震中附近时,2个震级段视应力均表现为“震前几年长时间升高—临震前几个月下降”的同步变化。     

2017年8月8日九寨沟MS7.0地震序列分析

2017年8月8日四川九寨沟发生M_S7.0地震,该地震发生在巴颜喀喇块体的东北边界,震中区域构造条件复杂,是巴颜喀喇块体北侧左旋走滑环境向东侧逆冲挤压环境过渡的位置,附近地区历史强震较多。九寨沟地震是一次主-余型地震,余震活动水平较弱,主震发生后短时间内M_L≥4.0余震的“等待时间”存在异常,震后较长时间余震活动恢复到正常状态,序列h值、余震视应力等符合主-余型序列特征。序列b值为0.84,G-R关系推测序列最大余震的震级约为M_L5.4（M_S5.0）,8月9日发生的M_S4.8地震是目前该序列的最强余震。通过与1970年以来附近地区7级左右地震序列的对比认为,九寨沟地震与1976年松潘-平武2次7.2级地震序列在余震空间位置、发震构造和震源机制等方面存在较大差异,因此,不具备发育为震群型序列的条件。九寨沟地震主震视应力为0.36～0.38MPa,属于应力下调模型,序列余震的平均视应力水平接近龙门山断裂带附近中小地震的平均背景水平。     

Use of mode-converted waves in marine seismic data to investigate the lithology of the sub-bottom sediments in Isfjorden,Svalbard

The compression wavefield is efficiently converted to shear-wave energy at post-critical angles in areas of high impedance contrast at the sea floor. We have analysed mode-converted shear waves in a data set acquired with a hybrid marine/land geometry in Isfjorden, Svalbard. Through a kinematic 2D ray-tracing modellingV _p/V_s ratios for part of the uppermost 5km of the crust are obtained. Low values (V _p /V _s =1.65) are tentatively associated with the section of Devonian sandstones which appears to attain a minimum thickness of 1.5km below 3 km depth about 10km west of Kapp Thorden.     

Moment Magnitude and Its Calculation

In this paper, we give a brief introduction to the proposal and development history of the earthquake magnitude concept. Moment magnitude M_W is the best physical quantity for measuring earthquakes. Compared with other magnitude scales used traditionally, moment magnitude is not saturated for all earthquakes, regardless of big and small earthquakes, deep and shallow earthquakes, far field and near field seismic data, geodetic and geological data, moment magnitude can be measured, and can be connected with well-known magnitude scales such as surface wave magnitude M_S. Moment magnitude is a uniform magnitude scale, which is suitable for statistics with wide magnitude range. Moment magnitude is the preferred magnitude selected by the International Seismological community, and it is preferred by the departments responsible for publishing seismic information to the public.Moment magnitude is a uniform magnitude scale, which is suitable for statistics with wide magnitude range. Moment magnitude is a preferred magnitude for international seismology, it is preferred by the agency responsible for providing information about earthquakes to the public. We provide all formulas used in the calculation of moment magnitude, and the calculation steps in detail. We also analyzed some problems and rules to solve these problems by using different formulas and numerical value calculation steps.

Application of Fisher method to discriminating earthquakes and explosions using criterion m b/ M S

We try to give a quantitative and global discrimination function by studying m _b/M _S data using Fisher method that is a kind of pattern recognition methods. The reliability of the function is also analyzed. The results show that this criterion works well and has a global feature, which can be used as first-level filtering criterions in event identification. The quantitative and linear discrimination function makes it possible to identify events automatically and achieve the goal to react the events quickly and effectively.

Vp and Vp/Vs structures in the crust and upper mantle of the Taiwan region, China

A tomographic study of the V _p and V _p/V _s structures in the crust and upper mantle beneath the Taiwan region of China is conducted by simultaneous inversion of P and S arrival times. Compared with the previous tomographic results, the spherical finite difference technique is suitable for the strong heterogeneous velocity structure, and may improve the accuracy in the travel time and three-dimensional ray tracing calculations. The V _p and V _p/V _s structures derived from joint inversion and the relocated earthquakes can provide better constraints for analyzing the lateral heterogeneity and deep tectonic characters in the crust and upper mantle. Our tomographic results reveal significant relations between the seismic wavespeed structure and the tectonic characters. In the shallow depth, sedimentary basins and orogen show distinct wavespeed anomalies, with low V _p, high V _p/V _s in basins and high V _p, low V _p/V _s in orogen. As the suture zone of Eurasian Plate and Philippine Sea Plate, Longitudinal Valley is characterized by a significant high V _p/V _s anomaly extending to the middle-lower crust and upper mantle, which reflects the impact of rock cracking, partial melting, and the presence of fluids. In the northeast Taiwan, the V _p, V _p/V _s anomalies and relocated earthquakes depict the subducting Philippine Sea Plate under the Eurasian Plate. The high V _p of oceanic plate and the low V _p, high V _p/V _s atop the subducted oceanic plate extend to 80 km depth. Along the east-west profiles, the thickness of crust reaches 60 km at the east of Central Range with eastward dipping trend, which reveals the eastward subduction of the thickened and deformed crust of the Eurasian continental plate.

青海、新疆和西藏地区地震活动平静特征参数Wq值强震预测模式及其应用

以青海、新疆、西藏地区为研究区域,系统研究总结了该区域2010—2020年5.0级以上地震前W_q值的时空演化特征,并以2020年新疆于田6.4级和西藏尼玛6.6级地震为实例进行阐述。得出以下三点认识:①地震一般发生在W_q值异常扩展时段或扩展—减小时段,6.0级以上W_q值异常的震例中,约81%发生于异常出现后的9个月内;②地震一般位于W_q值异常面积扩展区或扩展—减小恢复区附近,近70%的震例发生在W_q值异常区内;③建立了震级与W_q值异常区面积间的正相关统计模型,二者的相关系数(R)为0.85,为预测青海、新疆和西藏地区地震的强度提供了定量关系。青海、新疆和西藏地区W_q值方法对6.0～6.9级地震的预测效果(W_q值异常的地震报准率为61%)优于5.0～5.9级地震(W_q值异常的地震报准率为26%),为我国地球物理观测程度较低地区开展强震中短期(1年内)预测提供了参考依据。     

Instantaneous global ozone balance including observed nitrogen dioxide

The catalytic destruction of stratospheric ozone by the oxides of nitrogen is believed to be an important part of the global ozone balance. The lack of sufficient measurements of NO _x concentrations has impeded efforts to quantify this process. Recent measurements of stratospheric nitrogen dioxide from ground-based stations as well as aircraft and balloons have provided a first approximation to a global distribution of NO₂ vertical columns at sunset. These observed vertical columns have been translated into time-dependent vertical NO₂ profiles by means of a one-dimensional atmospheric photochemical model. Using recent observations of air temperature and ozone along with this information, the independent instantaneous (one second) rates of ozone production from oxygen photolysis P(O₃), of ozone destruction from pure oxygen species (Chapman reactions) L(O _x ), and of ozone destruction by nitrogen oxides L(NO _x ) were estimated over the three-dimensional atmosphere. These quantities are displayed as zonal average contour maps, summed over various latitude zones, summed over various altitude bands, and integrated globally between 15 and 45 km. Although the global summation between 15 and 45 km by no means tells the complete story, these numbers are of some interest, and the relative values are: P(O₃), 100; L(O _x ), 15; L(NO _x ), 45±15. It is to be emphasized that this relative NO _x contribution to the integrated ozone balance is not a measure of the sensitivity of ozone to possible perturbations of stratospheric NO _x ; recent model results must be examined for current estimates of this sensitivity.     

Am improved source mechanism for the 1935 Timiskaming,Quebec earthquake from regional waveforms

The Timiskaming earthquake, which occurred near the Quebec-Ontario border at the northwest end of the Western Quebec seismic zone in 1935, is one of the five largest instrumentally recorded southeastern Canadian earthquakes. Previous studies of this earthquake concentrated on modeling teismograms recorded at regional distances, a better constrained focal mechanism is obtained. The waveforms indicate thrust faulting on a moderately dipping northwest striking plane at a depth of 10 km. TheM _w of 6.1 determined in this study is in good agreement with previous magnitude estimates (m _b 6.1,M _s 6.0, andm _bLg 6.2–6.3). The focal mechanism is similar to those of many recent small to moderate earthquakes in the region, and the inferred (from theP axis) acting stress of northeast compression is consistent with the overall eastern North American stress field. The Lake Timiskaming Rift Valley in which the earthquake occurred, comprises several northwest striking faults consistent with the strike of the 1935 event. Thus, the 1935 earthquake appears to be a result of faulting on the reactivated Timiskaming graben.
