长宁—兴文地区应力降等震源参数与区域内显著地震的时空关系

open access: yesDizhen xuebao, 2023
基于中国地震台网提供的震相观测报告,利用双差方法对长宁—兴文地区2019—2020年1 948个ML≥2.0地震事件进行了重定位,重定位后的1823个ML≥2.0地震事件分布显示长宁—兴文地区北区地震序列沿NW—SE方向背斜展布,而南区地震分布较分散。之后计算了四川长宁—兴文地区2019年6月17日至2020年12月31日208个ML≥3.0地震事件的地震矩和应力降等震源参数,分析了2019年6月17日长宁MS6.0地震后研究区内地震应力降的演化特征,结果显示长宁—兴文地区中强地震发生前ML3.0—3 ...
