Rayleigh wave phase velocity dispersions at periods of 5–33 s are collected from seismograms recorded at our newly deployed TanluArray portable stations and permanent provincial seismic stations in and around the Suqian area. The addition of the TanluArray data leads to much higher tomographic resolution in the study region. Our model well depicts surface geological features and reveals strong lateral heterogeneities in and around the fault zone. Beneath the Suqian seismic gap, the upper crust and uppermost mantle show low-velocity anomalies, whereas the middle and lower crust exhibit high-velocity anomalies. Such a structure in the Suqian area may hinder the accumulation of tectonic stress, leading to the formation of a seismic gap. The Tancheng earthquake occurred in a transition zone between high- and low-Vs anomalies in the middle crust, which is prone to stress accumulation and earthquake nucleation. The Tanlu fault zone serves as a channel for hot and wet mantle material upwelling into the crust, where fluids reduced the threshold for fault rupture and so triggered the Tancheng earthquake. The mantle upwelling may be related to dynamic processes in the big mantle wedge associated with stagnation and dehydration of the subducted Pacific slab in the mantle transition zone under East Asia.</p>","PeriodicalId":15864,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth","volume":"130 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JB030717","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143914381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method is based on Slepian and B-spline basis functions for spatial and temporal parameterizations, respectively. Such parameterization of regional gravity field can be used to estimate total water storage change in a way compatible with surface mass estimation previously designed in the framework of global gravity field determination. The formal uncertainty of daily mass changes recovery is ∼5 Gt, equivalent to ∼3 cm of equivalent water height over 400<sup>2</sup> km<sup>2</sup>. In the evaluation part, the method is applied to the 2020 Bangladesh flood and the 2021 Australian flood. Our approach demonstrates strong agreement with the previous mascon-based studies, yielding Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency values exceeding 0.81, and capturing the onset and recession of the flooding events. Additionally, we investigate the impact of data gaps, occasionally occur in the space-borne missions employing intersatellite laser ranging system. Our findings indicate that the B-spline parameterization effectively determines surface mass changes even with missing data rates up to 20% or with gap lengths no longer than 2 days, highlighting its reliability for continuous monitoring in challenging observational scenarios.

Additionally, we inferred the possible extent of Cretaceous oceanic crust within the Huatung Basin and identified a shallow demagnetization zone in the southeastern Gagua Ridge, attributed to South China Sea Plate subduction.

In this study, we theoretically define source and receiver site coefficients which only depend on the local velocity model. Using these coefficients, we demonstrate how ocean-bottom sediments modulate the excitation and amplification of SM Rayleigh waves. A notable finding is that ocean-bottom sediments can amplify SM energy by a factor of 100, also supported by our field observation.

In agreement with recent experiments and previous theoretical studies, the concentrations of these defects decrease strongly with pressure, but the oxygen vacancy concentration exhibits a non-monotonic behavior with depth. Nevertheless, a small population still exists even at deep lower mantle conditions. In addition, the strong temperature dependence of these vacancies means that their concentrations in early forming mantle minerals would be much higher, which could still exist in any primordial domain if diffusion may not be fast enough to remove them.

However, quantifying their contributions and explaining pre- and post-earthquake displacements with a single set of rheological parameters is challenging. We set up a 2-D earthquake cycle finite element model that simulates the mantle and a thin low-viscosity shear zone with a temperature-dependent linear Maxwell or nonlinear power-law rheology. We use the ensemble smoother with multiple data assimilation to estimate ensembles of parameters describing the rheological makeup of the subduction zone. We assimilate onshore and offshore displacement time series acquired before and after the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. Our models provide a unique, robust solution using a temperature-dependent power-law rheology. The estimated creep parameters for the mantle wedge deeper than ∼50 km and sub-slab mantle align with laboratory experiments. However, different creep parameters are required for the shallow part of the mantle wedge than the deeper part to explain the observed postseismic response—highlighting the need for shallow viscoelastic relaxation. The trade-off between water fugacity and activation energy hinders their individual estimation but yields a well-constrained viscosity structure. The spatial distribution of vertical displacements as well as the temporal signature of early postseismic horizontal displacements are required to estimate individual parameters for afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation.
