Normal and shear stress perturbation can trigger fault instability, but their effects on fault slip differ. It is necessary to distinguish whether the stress perturbation is dominated by shear or normal stress change when it triggers fault instability.

After mapping, a comprehensive and detailed large-scale landslide inventory that contains 2924 large-scale landslides was obtained. We analyzed the spatial distribution of landslides with seven influencing factors, including elevation, slope angle, aspect, curvature, lithology, distance to a river, and distance to the fault. Landslide Number, Landslide Area, Landslide Number Density (LND), and Landslide Area Percentage (LAP) were selected as indexes for the spatial distribution analysis. The results show that the number and area of landslides in the elevation range of 1000–1200 m is the highest. The highest number of landslides was observed in the slope angle of 25°–30°. North-facing slopes are prone to sliding. The area and number of landslides are the largest when the slope curvature ranges from −1.28 to 0. The LND and LAP reach their maxima when the slope curvature is less than −2.56. Areas covered by the Tertiary stratum with weakened fine-grained sandstone and siltstone show the highest LND and LAP values. Regarding distance to a river, the LAP peaks in the range of 300–600 m, whereas the LND peaks in an area larger than 2100 m. The values of LND and LNP rise as the distance from the faults increases, except for the locations 30 km away from active faults. This phenomenon is because active faults in this area pass through the plain areas, while landslides mostly occur in mountainous areas. The cataloging of landslide development in Xianyang City provides a significant scientific foundation for future research on landslides. In addition, the spatial distribution results are useful for landslide hazard prevention decisions and provide valuable references in this area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100384,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Research Advances","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49703735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shallow structure of this region can offer a glimpse into the geometry of the fault, which plays an important role in earthquake hazard mitigation. To further investigate the sedimentary structure of the Anninghe fault zone, two dense linear arrays with a station spacing of around 80 m were deployed across the fault. In this study, the H/V spectral ratio (HVSR), together with its peak frequency at each station site, was obtained by applying the Nakamura method. Our findings demonstrate that the peak frequency behaves in high correlation with lithology and is controlled by topography. HVSR in foothills or regions with magmatic intrusion shows a single peak at about 2–3 Hz. In locations with abundant Quaternary sedimentation, such as Anninghe valleys and fracture zones, another low-frequency peak around 0.4 Hz can be noticed in HVSR. By using the empirical relationship, the thickness of the sedimentary layer around the fault fracture zone is estimated to be 300–600 m. Furthermore, the sedimentary interface shows a downward dip to the east, possibly influenced by the east-west extrusion stress. Considering the resonance effect, buildings with 6–9 stories in the valley area of the Anninghe require additional attention in earthquake hazard prevention.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100384,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Research Advances","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49704297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focused on a tract of banded travertine deposits precipitated from thermal waters along the NW–SE-trending LTF trace. The role of travertine deposits in recording neotectonic activity has been studied by identifying their internal structure. Typical soft-sediment deformation structures observed within the banded travertines include micro folds, liquefied breccia, and liquefied diapirs. These deformed structures, which are restricted to a single unit separated unconformably by undeformed layers, can be traced for tens of meters, indicating that they were formed by seismic shaking triggered by LTF activity. The deformation of the banded travertine layers is attributed to the combined effects of seismic shaking, liquefaction, and fluidization, and it can be related to a paleo earthquake event with a magnitude of <em>M<sub>S</sub></em> > 5. The U-series ages obtained from the banded travertine deposits perturbed by the earthquakes are in the range of 130.59–112.94 ka, indicating an important fault-assisted neotectonic activity that occurred during the Middle–Late Pleistocene. Analysis of such structures, in combination with the use of U-series dating methods, can yield a reliable timing of neotectonic activity and provide new evidence for understanding the seismotectonic setting of the Litang area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100384,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Research Advances","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49703891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thickness and structure, including intraice and subice, are closely related to the mass balance of the ice sheet, and play an important role in the study of global sea level and climate change. Subglacial topography is an important basis for studying ice sheet dynamics and ice sheet evolution. This paper briefly reviews the geophysical detection methods and research status of the Antarctic ice sheet: (1) Conventional methods such as ice radar are the main methods for studying the ice sheet today, and passive source seismic methods such as the receiver function method, H/V method and P-wave coda autocorrelation method have good development prospects; (2) the high-resolution (1 km) ice thickness and subglacial topographic database BEDMAP2 established based on various data has greatly improved the ability to detect internal isochronous layers, anisotropic layers, and temperature changes within ice and has advanced research on ice sheet evolution; and (3) ice radar, numerical simulation and core drilling are the main methods to study subglacial lakes and sediments. More than 400 subglacial lakes have been confirmed, and more than 12 000 simulation results have been obtained. Research on the Antarctic ice sheet faces enormous challenges and is of great urgency. Aiming at hot issues, such as Antarctic geological evolution, glacial retreat, ice sheet melting and their relationships with global climate change, it is the frontier and trend of future Antarctic ice sheet research to carry out multidisciplinary and multicountry comprehensive geophysical exploration based on the traditional ice radar method combined with passive seismic methods, especially new technologies such as short-period dense array technology, unmanned aerial vehicles and artificial intelligence.

Heterogeneity in lithospheric viscosity structure can influence the efficiency of stress transfer and thus may have a significant effect on the earthquake cycle. Until now, how the lateral viscosity variation across strike-slip faults affects the earthquake cycles is still not well understood. Here, we investigate the effects of across-strike viscosity variation on long-term earthquake behaviors with a three-dimensional strike-slip fault model. Our model is a quasi-static model which is controlled by the slip-weakening friction law and power-law rheology. By comparing with the reference case, we find that low viscosity on one side of the fault results in a smaller rupture area but with a higher Coulomb stress drop on the ruptured fault region. In addition, low viscosity also leads to a small Coulomb stress accumulation rate. These combined effects increase the earthquake recurrence interval by approximately 10% and the earthquake moments by about 30% when the low viscosity is related to a geothermal gradient of 30 K/km. In addition, across-strike viscosity variation causes asymmetric interseismic ground surface deformation rate. As the viscosity contrast increases, the difference in the interseismic ground surface deformation rate between the two sides of the fault gradually increases, although the asymmetric feature is not pronounced. This asymmetry of interseismic ground deformation rate across a strike-slip fault is supposed to result in asymmetric coseismic deformation if the long-term plate motion velocity is invariant. As a result, this kind of asymmetry of interseismic deformation may influence the evaluation of potential earthquake hazards along large strike-slip faults with lateral viscosity contrast.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100384,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Research Advances","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49703961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
