Co‐ and Post‐Seismic Mechanisms of the 2020 Mw 6.3 Yutian Earthquake and Local Stress Evolution

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2023
The Mw 6.3 Yutian earthquake, occurred in northwestern Tibet on 25 June 2020, is one of the major events sequentially occurring in the region following the 2008 Mw 7.2, 2012 Mw 6.2, and 2014 Mw 6.9 earthquakes, and is of great significance for studying ...

Coseismic deformation of the 2020 Yutian MW 6.4 earthquake from Sentinel-1A and the slip inversion

open access: yesEarthquake Research Advances, 2021
A remarkable earthquake struck Yutian, China on June 26th, 2020. Here, we use Sentinel-1 images to investigate the deformation induced by this event. We invert the InSAR observations using a two-step approach: a nonlinear inversion to constrain fault ...

Features of seismicity in Xinjiang and its possible reason after the Yutian MS7.4 earthquake, 2008 [PDF]

open access: yesEarthquake Science, 2009
The paper discusses quantitatively the influence of the Yutian MS7.4 earthquake of March 21, 2008 and Wuqia MS6.9 earthquake of October 5, 2008 on regional seismicity in Xinjiang, and explains primarily the possible reason of earthquake activity feature in Xinjiang after the Yutian MS7.4 earthquake by analyzing the static Coulomb failure stress change ...

Seismological Indicators of Geologically Inferred Fault Maturity

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 128, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Variations in fault zone maturity have intermittently been invoked to explain variations in some seismological observations for large earthquakes. However, the lack of a unified geological definition of fault maturity makes quantitative assessment of its importance difficult.

Three‐Dimensional Electrical Structure Beneath the Epicenter Zone and Seismogenic Setting of the 1976 Ms7.8 Tangshan Earthquake, China

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 14, 28 July 2023., 2023
Abstract Based on magnetotelluric array data and the three‐dimensional (3D) inversion algorithm, we obtain the 3D electrical structure of the 1976 Ms7.8 Tangshan earthquake zone. The seismogenic structure comprised a thick resistive anomaly located east of the Tangshan fault (TSF), a thin resistive belt extending westward, and the TSF zone.

Retrospective Study on the Predictability of Pattern Informatics to the Wenchuan M8.0 and Yutian M7.3 Earthquakes [PDF]

open access: yesPure and Applied Geophysics, 2012
Two large earthquakes occurred in the western part of China in 2008, one of them being the Yutian (35.6°N, 81.6°E) M7.3 earthquake that occurred on March 21 (BJT) and the other the Wenchuan (31.0°N, 103.4°E) M8.0 earthquake that occurred on May 12 (BJT). In this paper, the West Continental China (included in 20.0°–50.0°N, 70.0°–110.0°E region) was the

Seismic Behavior of Qinghai‐Tibetan Railway Embankment in Permafrost Regions: A Case Study

open access: yesShock and Vibration, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The temperature is a critical factor that determines the unfrozen water content and ice content in the frozen soil. In view of mechanical properties of the frozen soil depend on the volume of components of the four‐phase systems, thus the temperature has a significant impact on the mechanical behaviors and deformation properties.

Normal Faulting in the 2020 Mw 6.2 Yutian Event: Implications for Ongoing E–W Thinning in Northern Tibet

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Extensional earthquakes in the Tibetan Plateau play an important role in the plateau’s orogenic evolution and cause heavy seismic hazard, yet their mechanisms remain poorly known, in particular in harsh northern Tibet.
