Here we use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and seismic data to study the mainshock rupture,early afterslip and the second largest aftershock of the 2022 Menyuan earthquake sequences. Our modeling results show that the mainshock ruptured the Lenglongling fault and the Tuolaishan fault with a maximum slip of~3 m. Rapid postseismic transient deformation occurred at the center of the Lenglongling fault. Our afterslip modeling reveals that the majority of afterslip occurred in the deeper part of the Lenglongling fault. A high-angle conjugated faulting event is found at the middle section of the Lenglongling fault. We use the stress inversion to investigate the possible triggering mechanism of the conjugated rupture event. The results indicate the maximum principal stress direction is in~222°,forming a~22° angle between the conjugated fault of second largest aftershock and the mainshock. The calculated normal stress changes indicate the region is within a pull-apart stress field,which favors such a conjugated rupturing event. Our study will help understand the rupture behavior of such kind of conjugated fault in other regions.

First-order tectonic deformation in this region is caused by the convergence of the Indian Plate with respect to the Eurasian Plate. The Katwaz Block hinders the motion of the Indian Plate,resulting in the formation of strike-slip faults. In this study,the P-wave first-motion polarity technique was used to determine the mainshock faulting style. Cyclic scanning of the polarity solutions was applied to determine the most suitable focal mechanism solution among the available solutions generated by the FOCMEC (focal mechanism) software. The nodal planes correspond to different faulting styles (i.e.,thrust and strike-slip faulting). A nodal plane oriented in the NW-SE direction corresponded to a strike-slip mechanism,which was considered to be the fault plane. Tectonically,this earthquake was associated with the Harnai-Karahi strike-slip fault zone owing to the fault strike and direction of slip. The apparent stress drop,fault length,and moment magnitude of the Harnai earthquake were 35.4 bar,6.1 km,and 5.9,respectively. A lower b-value for the Gutenberg-Richter law was observed prior to the earthquake. Higher α-than b-values (α>b) indicate that this earthquake was governed by large events as opposed to small-magnitude events. The Harnai sequence had a decay exponent close to unity,lasted for 145 days,and produced few aftershocks. The study will help the future hazard mitigation in the region.

    查看更多>>摘要:Knowledge regarding earthquake hazards and seismicity is crucial for crisis management,and the occurrence of foreshocks,seismic activity patterns,and spatiotemporal variations in seismic activity have been studied. Furthermore,the estimation of the region-time-length (RTL) parameter has been proposed to detect seismic quiescence before the occurrence of a large earthquake. In addition,the time-to-failure method has been used to estimate the time occurrence of large earthquakes. Hence,in this study,to gain deeper insight into seismic activity in the southern Zagros region,we utilized the RTL algorithm to identify the quiescence and activation phases leading to the Fin doublet earthquakes. Temporal variations in the RTL parameter showed two significant anomalies. One corresponded to the occurrence time of the first earthquake (2017-12-12);the other anomaly was associated with the occurrence time of the second event (2021-11-14). Based on a negative value of the RTL parameter observed in the vicinity of the Fin epicenters (2021),seismic quiescence (a decrease in seismicity compared to the preceding background rate) was identified. The spatial distribution of the RTL prognostic parameters confirms the appearance of seismic quiescence surrounding the epicenter of the Fin doublet earthquakes (2021). The time-to-failure method was designed using precursoryq events that describe the acceleration of the seismic energy release before the mainshock. Using the time-to-failure method forthe earthquake catalog,it was possible to estimate both the magnitude and time of failure of the Fin doublet. Hence,the time-to-failure technique can be a useful supplementary method to the RTL algorithm for determining the characteristics of impending earthquakes.

    查看更多>>摘要:The horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) method has been used to characterize site-effect parameters that are indispensable in seismic hazard and risk-reduction studies in urban areas and rapid land-use planning. This method is widely used because it is the cheapest and simplest geophysical method for the acquisition and processing stages. In subsequent developments,the HVSR method has been widely used to determine elastic rock parameters,particularly shear wave velocity (vS),through the HVSR curve inversion process. Furthermore,the vS structural model can be used to delineate the presence of complex geological structures,particularly faults and sedimentary basins. Bandar Lampung is a city in Lampung Province with many fault structures and groundwater basins to the south. There are 83 HVSR measurement points around Bandar Lampung for delineating the presence of fault structures and groundwater basins. We produced the HVSR curve from the measurement results and then performed an inversion process using the particle swarm optimization algorithm to obtain vS for the depth profile. Subsequently,from this profile,we produced a two-dimensional (2D) lateral and vertical model. The mean vS value was calculated from all the measurement points,and we found stiff soil layers reaching depths of approximately 5 m,with a value of vS<330 m/s. A bedrock layer with a velocity exceeding 1250 m/s was visible at a depth of 100 m. Based on the 2D model,the vS structure shows that the city of Bandar Lampung is divided into two zones,with a NW-SE boundary. The north-middle-eastern part of the city consists of harder rocks. This harder rock is characterized by extremely high vS values,starting from a depth of 50 m. In contrast,the south-middle-west exhibits a low-moderate vS anomaly associated with groundwater basins SW of the city. From the 2D vS structural model,fault structures can be found along the city,characterized by a contrast of vS valuesfrom low to medium and from medium to high.

Pattern Informatics (PI) method,as an effective long and medium term earthquake forecasting method,has been applied to the strong earthquake forecasting in Chinese mainland and results have shown the positive performance. The earthquake catalog with magnitude above MS3.0 since 1970 provided by China Earthquake Networks Center was employed in this study and the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) method was applied to test the forecasting efficiency of the PI method in each selected region related to the North-South Seismic Zone systematically. Based on this,we selected the area with the best ROC testing result and analyzed the evolution process of the PI hotspot map reflecting the small seismic activity pattern prior to the Menyuan MS6.9 and Luding MS6.8 earthquakes. A"forward" forecast for the area was carried out to assess seismic risk. The study shows the following. 1) PI forecasting has higher forecasting efficiency in the selected study region where the difference of seismicity in any place of the region is smaller. 2) In areas with smaller differences of seismicity,the activity pattern of small earthquakes prior to the Menyuan MS6.9 and Luding MS6.8 earthquakes can be obtained by analyzing the spatio-temporal evolution process of the PI hotspot map. 3) Thehotspot evolution in and around the southern Tazang fault in the study area is similar to that prior to the strong earthquakes,which suggests the possible seismic hazard in the future. This study could provide some ideas to the seismic hazard assessment in other regions with high seismicity,such as Japan,California,Turkey,and Indonesia.
