We conducted a joint inversion of receiver functions and surface wave dispersions with P-wave velocity constraints using data from the ChinArray Ⅱ temporary stations deployed across the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. Prior to joint inversion, we applied the H-κ-c method (Li JT et al., 2019) to the receiver function data in order to correct for the back-azimuthal variations in the arrival times of Ps phases and crustal multiples caused by crustal anisotropy and dipping interfaces. High-resolution images of vS, crustal thickness, and vP/vS structures in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau were simultaneously derived from the joint inversion. The seismic images reveal that crustal thickness decreases outward from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The stable interiors of the Ordos and Alxa blocks exhibited higher velocities and lower crustal vP/vS ratios. While, lower velocities and higher vP/vS ratios were observed beneath the Qilian Orogen and Songpan-Ganzi terrane (SPGZ), which are geologically active and mechanically weak, especially in the mid-lower crust. Delamination or thermal erosion of the lithosphere triggered by hot asthenospheric flow contributes to the observed uppermost mantle low-velocity zones (LVZs) in the SPGZ. The crustal thickness, vS, and vP/vS ratios suggest that whole lithospheric shortening is a plausible mechanism for crustal thickening in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, supporting the idea of coupled lithospheric-scale deformation in this region.

    查看更多>>摘要:The Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) is one of the most seismically vulnerable areas due to its proximity to the Himalayas. Geographic information system (GIS)-based seismic characterization of the IGP was performed based on the degree of deformation and fractal dimension. The zone between the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) and the Main Central Thrust (MCT) in the Himalayan Mountain Range (HMR) experienced large variations in earthquake magnitude, which were identified by Number-Size (NS) fractal modeling. The central IGP zone experienced only moderate to low mainshock levels. Fractal analysis of earthquake epicenters reveals a large scattering of earthquake epicenters in the HMR and central IGP zones. Similarly, the fault fractal analysis identifies the HMR, central IGP, and south-western IGP zones as having more faults. Overall, the seismicity of the study region is strong in the central IGP, south-western IGP, and HMR zones, moderate in the western and southern IGP, and low in the northern, eastern, and south-eastern IGP zones.

Understanding seismic rupture and long-term fault evolution requires constraining the geometric and material properties of fault zone structures. We provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in seismological methods used to study fault zone structures, including seismic tomography, fault zone seismic wave analysis, and seismicity analysis. Observational conditions limit our current ability to fully characterize fault zones, for example, insufficient imaging resolution to discern small-scale anomalies, incomplete capture of crucial fault zone seismic waves, and limited precision in event location accuracy. Dense seismic arrays can overcome these limitations and enable more detailed investigations of fault zone structures. Moreover, we present new insights into the structure of the Anninghe-Xiaojiang fault zone in the southeastern margin of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau based on data collected from a dense seismic array. We found that utilizing a dense seismic array can identify small-scale features within fault zones, aiding in the interpretation of fault zone geometry and material properties.

    查看更多>>摘要:High-quality datasets are critical for the development of advanced machine-learning algorithms in seismology. Here, we present an earthquake dataset based on the ChinArray Phase Ⅰ records (X1). ChinArray Phase I was deployed in the southern north-south seismic zone (20° N-32° N, 95° E-110° E) in 2011-2013 using 355 portable broadband seismic stations. CREDIT-X1local, the first release of the ChinArray Reference Earthquake Dataset for Innovative Techniques (CREDIT), includes comprehensive information for the 105,455 local events that occurred in the southern north-south seismic zone during array observation,incorporating them into a single HDF5 file. Original 100-Hz sampled three-component waveforms are organized by event for stations within epicenter distances of 1,000 km, and records of ≥ 200 s are included for each waveform. Two types of phase labels are provided. The first includes manually picked labels for 5,999 events with magnitudes ≥ 2.0, providing 66,507 Pg, 42,310 Sg, 12,823 Pn, and 546 Sn phases. The second contains automatically labeled phases for 105,442 events with magnitudes of -1.6 to 7.6. These phases were picked using a recurrent neural network phase picker and screened using the corresponding travel time curves, resulting in 1,179,808 Pg, 884,281 Sg, 176,089 Pn, and 22,986 Sn phases. Additionally, first-motion polarities are included for 31,273 Pg phases. The event and station locations are provided, so that deep learning networks for both conventional phase picking and phase association can be trained and validated. The CREDIT-X1local dataset is the first million-scale dataset constructed from a dense seismic array, which is designed to support various multi-station deep-learning methods, high-precision focal mechanism inversion, and seismic tomography studies. Additionally, owing to the high seismicity in the southern north-south seismic zone in China, this dataset has great potential for future scientific discoveries.

    查看更多>>摘要:In this study, the vertical components of broadband teleseismic P wave data recorded by China Earthquake Network are used to image the rupture processes of the February 6th, 2023 Turkish earthquake doublet via back projection analysis. Data in two frequency bands (0.5-2 Hz and 1-3 Hz) are used in the imaging processes. The results show that the rupture of the first event extends about 200 km to the northeast and about 150 km to the southwest, lasting ~90 s in total. The southwestern rupture is triggered by the northeastern rupture, demonstrating a sequential bidirectional unilateral rupture pattern. The rupture of the second event extends approximately 80 km in both northeast and west directions, lasting ~35 s in total and demonstrates a typical bilateral rupture feature. The cascading ruptures on both sides also reflect the occurrence of selective rupture behaviors on bifurcated faults. In addition, we observe super-shear ruptures on certain fault sections with relatively straight fault structures and sparse aftershocks.

    查看更多>>摘要:In this study, the shear-wave splitting parameters of local seismic events from the source regions of the 2023 Türkiye MW7.7 and MW7.6 doublet earthquakes (event 1 and event 2, respectively) were measured from June 1, 2022, to April 25, 2023, and their spatiotemporal characteristics were analyzed. The results revealed clear spatial and temporal differences. Spatially, the dominant fast-wave polarization direction at each station shows a strong correlation with the direction of the maximum horizontal principal compressive stress, as characterized by focal mechanism solutions of seismic events (MW≥3.5) near the station. The dominant fast-wave polarization direction and the regional stress field also showed a strong correlation with the intermovement of the Arabian Plate, African Plate, and Anatolian Block. Along the Nurdagi-Pazarcik fault zone, the seismic fault of event 1, stations closer to the middle of the fault where the mainshock occurred exhibited notably greater delay times than stations located towards the ends of the fault and far from the mainshock. In addition, the stations located to the east of the Nurdagi-Pazarcik fault and to the north of the Sürgü fault also exhibited large delay times. The spatial distribution of shear-wave splitting parameters obtained from each station indicates that the upper-crust anisotropy in the source area is mainly controlled by the regional stress field, which is closely related to the state of the block motion. During the seismogenic process of the MW7.7 earthquake, more stress accumulated in the middle of the Nurdagi-Pazarcik fault than at either end of the fault. Under the influence of the MW7.7 and MW7.6 events, the stress that accumulated during the seismogenic process of the earthquake doublet may have migrated towards some areas outside the aftershock intensive area after the earthquakes, and the crustal stress and its adjustment range near the outer stations increased significantly. With the exception of two stations with few effective events, all stations showed a consistent change in shear-wave splitting parameters over time. In particular, each station showed a decreasing trend in delay times after the doublet earthquakes, reflecting the obvious intensification of crustal stress adjustment in the seismogenic zone after the doublet earthquakes. With the occurrence of the earthquake doublet and a large number of aftershocks, the stress accumulated during the seismogenic process of the doublet earthquakes is gradually released, and then the adjustment range of crustal stress is also gradually reduced.
