Furthermore, the estimation of the region-time-length (RTL) parameter has been proposed to detect seismic quiescence before the occurrence of a large earthquake. In addition, the time-to-failure method has been used to estimate the time occurrence of large earthquakes. Hence, in this study, to gain deeper insight into seismic activity in the southern Zagros region, we utilized the RTL algorithm to identify the quiescence and activation phases leading to the Fin doublet earthquakes. Temporal variations in the RTL parameter showed two significant anomalies. One corresponded to the occurrence time of the first earthquake (2017-12-12); the other anomaly was associated with the occurrence time of the second event (2021-11-14). Based on a negative value of the RTL parameter observed in the vicinity of the Fin epicenters (2021), seismic quiescence (a decrease in seismicity compared to the preceding background rate) was identified. The spatial distribution of the RTL prognostic parameters confirms the appearance of seismic quiescence surrounding the epicenter of the Fin doublet earthquakes (2021). The time-to-failure method was designed using precursory events that describe the acceleration of the seismic energy release before the mainshock. Using the time-to-failure method for the earthquake catalog, it was possible to estimate both the magnitude and time of failure of the Fin doublet. Hence, the time-to-failure technique can be a useful supplementary method to the RTL algorithm for determining the characteristics of impending earthquakes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46333,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Science","volume":"37 4","pages":"Pages 324-336"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S167445192400048X/pdfft?md5=3091c0da3bf67890ea2f5229ea136984&pid=1-s2.0-S167445192400048X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141607633","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}

Despite its distance from these boundaries, the plateau is characterized by intense crustal deformation accompanied by voluminous Cenozoic volcanism and active modern seismicity. However, the intraplate deformation mechanism has long been debated owing to the scarcity of observations and contradictions between different results. In recent years, growing geophysical studies have been conducted on the Mongolian Plateau, providing constraints on its lithospheric structure and dynamics. Here, we review the geophysical research on the Mongolian Plateau over the last decade, including seismological, geodetic, gravity, magnetotelluric, and geodynamic aspects. This review aims to (a) describe crustal and mantle structures based on multiscale seismic images; (b) describe deformation patterns based on seismic anisotropy, focal mechanisms, and global positioning system (GPS) observations; and (c) discuss the mechanisms behind intraplate deformation, volcanism, and seismic activity across the Mongolian Plateau. Seismic images show that the crustal structure of the plateau has significant east-west differences. Several blocks in the western Mongolian Plateau have thick crusts, including the Altai Mountains, Hovsgol Rift, and Hangay Dome. The lithospheric deformation across the Mongolian Plateau has strong lateral variation, with NE-SW shortening in the Altai Mountains and W-E or NW-SE shear deformation in the Hangay Dome region and the eastern part. The varied deformation may result from the superposition of multiple mechanisms, including far-field stress in the Altai Mountains, mantle upwelling, and mantle flow in the Hangay Dome region. However, it is difficult to identify the geodynamics of the formation of the entire Mongolian Plateau because the deformation is too complicated, and the present models are not sufficient and are always partial. Overall, this review encompasses recent advances in seismic observations of the Mongolian Plateau, illuminates the heterogeneities in the crust and mantle structure and deformation of the plateau, and discusses the mechanisms behind the deformation, magmatism, and seismicity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46333,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Science","volume":"37 3","pages":"Pages 224-240"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674451924000417/pdfft?md5=efdf33b44660803f1281a78607bfa1e2&pid=1-s2.0-S1674451924000417-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141234196","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}

To study the characteristics of surface deformation caused by this event and the influence of fault rupture, this study calculated the static coseismic deformation of 56 stations and dynamic displacement waveforms of 15 stations using data from the Turkish national fixed global navigation satellite system (GNSS) network. A maximum static coseismic displacement of 0.38 m for the <em>M</em><sub>W</sub>7.8 Kahramanmaras earthquake was observed at station ANTE, 36 km from the epicenter, and a maximum dynamic coseismic displacement of 4.4 m for the <em>M</em><sub>W</sub>7.6 Elbistan earthquake was observed at station EKZ1, 5 km from the epicenter. The rupture-slip distributions of the two earthquakes were inverted using GNSS coseismic deformation as a constraint.

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 (<em>M</em><sub>W</sub>≥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.

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.

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 <em>H</em>-<em>κ</em>-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 <em>v</em><sub>S</sub>, crustal thickness, and <em>v</em><sub>P</sub>/<em>v</em><sub>S</sub> 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 <em>v</em><sub>P</sub>/<em>v</em><sub>S</sub> ratios. While, lower velocities and higher <em>v</em><sub>P</sub>/<em>v</em><sub>S</sub> 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, <em>v</em><sub>S</sub>, and <em>v</em><sub>P</sub>/<em>v</em><sub>S</sub> 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.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46333,"journal":{"name":"Earthquake Science","volume":"37 2","pages":"Pages 93-106"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674451924000181/pdfft?md5=d68985c7d9bade2434ea6675dae33b91&pid=1-s2.0-S1674451924000181-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139993565","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}
