Abstract
In this study, we developed a high-resolution (3 arcsec, approximately 90 m) VS map and associated open-access dataset for the 140 km × 200 km region affected by the January 2025 M6.8 Dingri Xizang, China earthquake. This map provides a significantly finer resolution compared to existing VS maps, which typically use a 30 arcsec grid. The VS values were estimated using the Cokriging-based VS proxy model (SCK model), which integrates VS measurements as primary constraints and utilizes topographic slope as a secondary parameter. The findings indicate that the VS values range from 200 to 250 m/s in the sedimentary deposit areas near the earthquake’s epicenter and from 400 to 600 m/s in the surrounding mountainous regions. This study showcases the capability of the SCK model to efficiently generate VS estimations across various spatial resolutions and demonstrates its effectiveness in producing reliable estimations in data-sparse regions.

● New methods and theoretical seismology.
● Strong ground motion.
● Seismic phenomena of all kinds.
● Seismic hazards, earthquake forecasting and prediction.
● Seismic instrumentation.
● Significant recent or past seismic events.
● Documentation of recent seismic events or important observations.
● Descriptions of field deployments, new methods, and available software tools.
The types of manuscripts include the following. There is no length requirement, except for the Short Notes.
【Articles】 Original contributions that have not been published elsewhere.
【Short Notes】 Short papers of recent events or topics that warrant rapid peer reviews and publications. Limited to 4 publication pages.
