One of the factors that can predict the occurrence of future earthquakes is a decrease in the <i>b-value</i> parameter. In this study, for the metropolis of Tehran, with a population of over 8 million, located on or near many active faults, it is estimated that if the maximum seismic potential of these faults happened again, the greatest disaster in human history would occur. In this case, the analyses indicate a minimum of several hundred thousand casualties and sometimes more than a million. In the current study, various faults around Tehran were investigated, and given that the faults on Tehran have not had serious seismic activity for over a thousand years, this article focused exclusively on adjacent faults, particularly the Eshtehard faults. Therefore, in the current study, the seismicity and tectonics of western Tehran were investigated by analyzing seismic parameters using earthquake data collected from 2003 to 2023. In general, the investigation of the temporal changes in the study area showed that the <i>b-value</i> decreased before the December 20, 2017, earthquake and an increasing trend afterward. Observing anomalies in the <i>b-value</i> before and after the main movement in the area shows that changes in this parameter can be considered a precursor for estimating the time and location of earthquakes. Therefore, a useful step can be taken toward knowing the local seismic hazards by using earthquake data recorded by seismic networks and continuously monitoring the changes in the <i>b-value</i>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Seismology","volume":"28 2","pages":"477 - 489"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139751616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed method simultaneously attains optimum estimates of median, range and distribution (uncertainty) of these seismological parameters, and resultant ground motions, for a specific target region, through calibration of physically constrained parametric models to local ground motion data. We apply the method to Italy, a region of moderate seismicity, using response spectra recorded in the European Strong Motion (ESM) dataset. As a prior, we utilise independent seismological models developed using strong motion data across a wider European context. The calibration obtains values of each seismological parameter considered (such as, but not limited to, quality factor, geometrical spreading and stress drop), to develop a suite of optimal parameters for locally adjusted stochastic ground motion simulation. We consider both the epistemic and aleatory variability associated with the calibration process. We were able to reduce the area metric (misfit) value by up to 88% for the simulations using updated parameters, compared to the initial prior.

The triggering mechanism for these earthquakes can likely be ascribed to the presence of hydrothermal fluids and the reactivation of preexisting strike-slip faults, influenced by the subduction of the Pacific and Philippine Sea Plates, as well as the collision between the India and Eurasia Plates. In contrast, within the Jiangnan Orogenic Belt, M5+ earthquakes predominantly initiated in the high-velocity and low Poisson’s ratio perturbation zones.

To effectively improve the prediction accuracy and robustness of microseismic sensitive feature data, a hybrid model called VMD-Transformer is suggested in this study for predicting time series of microseismic sensitive features. This model is based on the variational mode decomposition (VMD) and transformer model and aims to predict future eigenvalue from the historical data of sensitive features. To a certain extent, the transformer model is used to predict the future eigenvalue, while the VMD is used to extract the features of the time series data at various frequency domain scales, which solves the problem of non-stationary time series data being difficult to predict accurately due to high fluctuations. This study extracts sensitive features from microseismic events that the same source registered by a certain geophone after locating, decomposes the time series of the sensitive features using VMD, predicts each component of the decomposition separately using the transformer model, and then combines the component prediction results to produce the final prediction results.

The single original and horizontal rotation components of pulse-like ground motion were mainly considered in the last years, especially the generation mechanism of velocity pulse and its influence on engineering structures. Conversely, less attention is paid to the vertical component in such seismic events, so that the identification of pulses in arbitrary direction of space from multi-component motion is neglected. Furthermore, although extensive seismic record data have been obtained with the improvement of observation equipment and analysis technology, there are still few strong motion records carrying velocity pulse waveform. In order to obtain more pulse records and expand the range of pulse identification within limited strong motion data, we describe a spatial rotation technique to determine the velocity pulse in arbitrary direction from the three orthogonal components of ground motion. In this paper, the strong ground motions of 46 seismic events are processed, and the strongest velocity pulse is identified and extracted based on continuous wavelet transform. The extracted time history of the long-period velocity pulse is well matched with the rotated seismic record. To better represent the seismic hazard, we quantify the spatial pulse and spectral parameters that characterize pulse-like ground motion. The results indicate that velocity pulse-like motion exhibits marked systematic distribution characteristics, the spatially rotated component of ground motion is significantly larger than the strongest original and horizontal records, and the spatial orientation of velocity pulse is affected by various geological factors. This study supplements the long-period velocity pulse data and increases the pulse peak threshold range. The acceleration amplification factor is 1.2 times the seismic code value, especially the higher magnification values of velocity and acceleration occur in stiff soil and soft rock sites. The peak ratio of seismic ground motion increases with increasing hypocenter distance, which reflects that the attenuation of ground motion velocity is slower than that of motion acceleration.

This study aims to systematically estimate such stress drop from the harmonized dataset at the European scale and to characterize the distributions of the stress drop for application in future stochastic simulations. We analyze the seismological records associated with shallow crustal seismic events that occurred in Western Europe between January 1990 and May 2020. We processed 220,000 high-quality records and isolated the contributions of the source, site, and path contributions using the Generalized Inversion Technique. The source parameters, including the corner frequency, moment magnitude, and stress drop, of 6135 seismic events are calculated. The events processed are mainly tectonic events (e.g., earthquakes of the central Italy 2009–2016 sequence), although non-tectonic events associated with the Groningen gas field and mining activities in Western Europe are also included in the analysis. The impact of different attenuation models and reference site choices are evaluated. Most of the obtained source spectra follow the standard ω<sup>2</sup>-model except for a few events where the data sampling considered does not allow an effective spectral decomposition. The resulting stress drop shows a positive correlation with moment magnitude between 3 and 4, and a self-similarity for magnitudes greater than 4 with a mean stress drop of 13.8 MPa.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Seismology","volume":"28 1","pages":"63 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10950-023-10188-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139475458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
