英文摘要：

The giant Sumatra-Andaman earthquake of December 26 2004 caused permanent deformations effects in a region of previously never observed extension. The GPS data from the world wide network of permanent IGS sites show significant coseismic displacements in an area exceeding 107 km^2. The effects of the permanent residual deformation field could be detected as far as Australia, the Phillipines and Japanese archipelagos, and, on the West, as far as the indian continent. The synthetic simulations of the coseismic displacement field obtained by means of a spherical model support the hypothesis that a considerable amount of energy has been released aseismically.

On the aftershocks of the Great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake

Analysis of the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake on 26.12.2004 (M = 9) has allowed us to identify two non- trivial properties of the dynamics of aftershocks. First, the strongest aftershock (M = 7.2) was likely triggered by the round-the-world seismic echo of the main shock. The idea is that the surface waves propagating outwards from the main shock return back to the vicinity of the epicenter after having made a complete revolution around the Earth and induce there the aftershock. The second property is the modulation of the aftershock sequence by the fundamental oscillation of the Earth 0S2 excite…

Core-mantle boundary deformations and J2 variations resulting from the 2004 Sumatra earthquake

The deformation at the core-mantle boundary produced by the 2004 Sumatra earthquake is investigated by means of a semi-analytic theoretical model of global coseismic and postseismic deformation, predicting a millimetric coseismic perturbation over a large portion of the core-mantle boundary. Spectral features of such deformations are analysed and discussed. The time-dependent postseismic evolution of the elliptical part of the gravity field (J2) is also computed for different asthenosphere viscosity models. Our results show that, for asthenospheric viscosities smaller than 10^18 Pa s, the post…

Aftershocks of the 2012 Off-Coast of Sumatra Earthquake Sequence

Aftershocks of the 2012 Off-Coast of Sumatra Earthquake Sequence exhibit a complex and diffuse spatial distribution. The first-order complexity in aftershock distribution is clear and well beyond the influence of typical earthquake location uncertainty. The sequence included rupture of multiple fault segments, spatially separated. We use surface-wave based relative centroid locations to examine whether, at the small scale, the distribution of the aftershocks was influenced by location errors. Surface-wave based relative location has delineated precise oceanic transform fault earthquake locatio…

Quantifying Uncertainties in the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake Source Parameters by Stochastic Inversion

Usual inversion for earthquake source parameters from tsunami wave data incorporates subjective elements. Noisy and possibly insufficient data also results in instability and non-uniqueness in most deterministic inversions. Here we employ the satellite altimetry data for the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman tsunami event to invert the source parameters. Using a finite fault model that represents the extent of rupture and the geometry of the trench, we perform a non-linear joint inversion of the slips, rupture velocities and rise times with minimal a priori constraints. Despite persistently good waveform f…

Limits of the seismogenic zone in the epicentral region of the 26 December 2004 great Sumatra-Andaman earthquake: Results from seismic refraction and wide-angle reflection surveys and thermal modeling

The 26 December 2004 Sumatra earthquake (Mw = 9.1) initiated around 30 km depth and ruptured 1300 km of the Indo-Australian Sunda plate boundary. During the Sumatra OBS (ocean bottom seismometer) survey, a wide angle seismic profile was acquired across the epicentral region. A seismic velocity model was obtained from combined travel time tomography and forward modeling. Together with reflection seismic data from the SeaCause II cruise, the deep structure of the source region of the great earthquake is revealed. Four to five kilometers of sediments overlie the oceanic crust at the trench, and t…

Time-frequency analysis of Transitory/Permanent frequency decrease in civil engineering structures during earthquakes

The analysis of strong motion recordings in structures is crucial to understand the damaging process during earthquakes. A very precise time-frequency representation, the reassigned smoothed pseudo-Wigner-Ville method, allowed us to follow the variation of the Millikan Library (California) and the Grenoble City Hall building (France) resonance frequencies during earthquakes. Under strong motions, a quick frequency drop, attributed to damage of the soil-structure system, followed by a slower increase is found. However, in the case of weak earthquakes, we show that frequency variations come from…

Deviation from power law of the global earthquake seismic moment distribution

The distribution of seismic moment is of capital interest to evaluate earthquake hazard, in particular regarding the most extreme events. We make use of likelihood-ratio tests to compare the simple Gutenberg-Richter power-law distribution with two statistical models that incorporate an exponential tail: the so-called tapered Gutenberg-Richter and the truncated gamma, when fitted to the global CMT earthquake catalog. The outcome is that the truncated gamma model outperforms the other two models. If simulated samples of the truncated gamma are reshuffled in order to mimic the time occurrence of …

Finite Fault Analysis and Near Field Dynamic Strains and Rotations due to the 11/05/2011 (Mw5.2) Lorca Earthquake, South-Eastern Spain

The 11/5/2011 Lorca, Spain earthquake (Mw5.2) and related seismicity produced extensive damage in the town of Lorca and vicinity. During these earthquakes, evidence of rotations and permanent deformations in structures were observed. To analyze these aspects and study the source properties from the near field, the displacement time histories were obtained including the static component at Lorca station. Displacement time histories were computed by an appropriate double time integration procedure of accelerograms. Using these data, the foreshock and mainshock slip distributions were calculated …

Surface Dynamic Deformation Estimates from Local Seismicity: the Itoiz Reservoir, Spain

We analyze the ground motion time histories due to the local seismicity near the Itoiz reservoir to estimate the near-source, surface 3D displacement-gradients and dynamic deformations. The seismic data were obtained by a semi-permanent broadband and accelerometric network located on surface and at underground sites. The dynamic deformation field was calculated by two different methodologies. First, by the Seismo-Geodetic method using the data from a three-station micro-array located close to the dam; second, by Single-Station estimates of the displacement gradients. The dynamic deformations o…
