Locally triggered seismicity in the central Swiss Alps following the large rainfall event of August 2005 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
In 2005 August, an unusual series of 47 earthquakes occurred over a 12-hr period in central Switzerland. The earthquakes occurred at the end of 3-d period of intensive rainfall, with over 300 mm of precipitation. The highest seismicity occurred as two distinct clusters in the region of Muotatal and Riemenstalden, Switzerland, a well-known Karst area that received a particularly large amount of rainfall. The large increase in seismicity, compared to the background, and the short time delay between the onset of the intense rainfall and the seismicity strongly suggest that earthquakes were triggered by rainfall. In our preferred model, an increase in fluid pressure at the surface due to a large amount of rain leads to a local increase in pore fluid pressure at depth. The increase in pore fluid pressure will reduce the shear strength of a porous medium by counteracting normal stress and, at the end, provoke failure. The series of triggered earthquakes in central Switzerland occurred in regions that have been seismically active in the past, showing similar hypocentre locations and magnitudes. This suggests that these earthquakes occurred on existing faults that were critically stressed. We modelled the intense rainfall as a step increase in fluid pressure at the surface that migrates to greater depths following the solution of the one-dimensional diffusion equation in a homogeneous half space. This allowed us to estimate the hydraulic diffusivity by plotting triggered seismicity in a time–depth plot. We found values of hydraulic diffusivity in the range from 0.01 to 0.5 m2 s−1 for our study area. These values are in good agreement with previous studies on earthquakes that were triggered by fluids, supporting the idea that the observed earthquake series was triggered by the large amount of rainfall. 相似文献

This report of the Swiss Seismological Service summarizes the seismic activity in Switzerland and surrounding regions during
2006. During this period, 572 earthquakes and 91 quarry blasts were detected and located in the region under consideration.
Of these earthquakes, two occurred in conjunction with the construction of the new Gotthard railway tunnel and 165 were induced
artificially by the stimulation of a proposed geothermal reservoir beneath the city of Basel. With 20 events with M
L
≥ 2.5, five of which were artificially induced, the seismic activity in the year 2006 was far below the average over the
previous 31 years. Nevertheless, six events were felt by the public, most prominently the strongest of the induced Basel events
(M
L
3.4), which caused some non-structural building damage. Noteworthy are also the two earthquakes near Cortaillod (M
L
3.2), on the shore of Lake Neuchatel, and in Val Mora (M
L
3.5), between the Engadin and Val Müstair, as well as the 42 aftershocks of the M
L
4.9 Vallorcine earthquake, between Martigny and Chamonix, of September 2005.

Accurate hypocentre determination in the seismogenic zone of the subducting Nazca Plate in northern Chile using a combined on-/offshore network 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
The coupled plate interface of subduction zones—commonly called the seismogenic zone—has been recognized as the origin of fatal earthquakes. A subset of the after-shock series of the great Antofagasta thrust-type event (1995 July 30; M w = 8.0) has been used to study the extent of the seismogenic zone in northern Chile. To achieve reliable and precise hypocentre locations we applied the concept of the minimum 1-D model, which incorporates iterative simultaneous inversion of velocity and hypocentre parameters. The minimum 1-D model is complemented by station corrections which are influenced by near-surface velocity heterogeneity and by the individual station elevations. By relocating mine blasts, which were not included in the inversion, we obtain absolute location errors of 1 km in epicentre and 2 km in focal depth. A study of the resolution parameters ALE and DSPR documents the importance of offshore stations on location accuracy for offshore events. Based on precisely determined hypo-centres we calculate a depth of 46 km for the lower limit of the seismogenic zone, which is in good agreement with previous studies for this area. For the upper limit we found a depth of 20 km. Our results of an aseismic zone between the upper limit of the seismogenic zone and the surface correlates with a detachment zone proposed by other studies; the results are also in agreement with thermal studies for the Antofagasta forearc region. 相似文献

A series of 112 earthquakes was recorded between October 2005 and August 2007 during the excavation of the MFS Faido, the southernmost access point of the new Gotthard Base Tunnel. Earthquakes were recorded at a dense network of 11 stations, including 2 stations in the tunnel. Local magnitudes computed from Wood?CAnderson-filtered horizontal component seismograms ranged from ?1.0 to 2.4; the largest earthquake was strongly felt at the surface and caused considerable damage in the tunnel. Hypocenter locations obtained routinely using a regional 3-D P-wave velocity model and a constant Vp/Vs ratio 1.71 were about 2?km below the tunnel. The use of seismic velocities calibrated from a shot in the tunnel revealed that routinely obtained hypocenter locations were systematically biased to greater depth and are now relocated to be on the tunnel level. Relocation of the shot using these calibrated velocities yields a location accuracy of 25?m in longitude, 70?m in latitude, and 250?m in focal depth. Double-difference relative relocations of two clusters with highly similar waveforms showed a NW?CSE striking trend that is consistent with the strike of mapped faults in the MFS Faido. Source dimensions computed using the quasidynamic model of Madariaga (Bull Seismo Soc Am 66(3):639?C666, 1976) range from 50 to 170?m. Overlapping source dimensions for earthquakes within the two main clusters suggests that the same fault patch was ruptured repeatedly. The observed seismicity was likely caused by stress redistribution due to the excavation work in the MFS Faido. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Während der Sedimentation der Rosenbacher Kohleschichten (W.Klaus 1956, Untersarmat) spielten die Karawanken als Liefergebiet der Sedimente kaum eine Rolle. Wie aus der Verbreitung dieser Sedimente im Bereich des Karawankenkörpers zu erkennen ist, wurden zumindest seine nördlichen Teile damit bedeckt. Im Hangenden dieser, aus gut gerollten, tonig sandigen Kiesen (mit hohem Quarzanteil) gebildeten Rosenbacher Kohleschichten treten dann die ersten deutlichen Einschüttungen aus den Karawanken auf. Diese deuten auf eine beginnende Heraushebung hin. Ihre Geröllzusammensetzung zeigt an, daß am Beginn dieser Entwicklung noch ein deutlicher Gerölltransport aus dem Bereich der Periadriatischen Naht über den Nordstamm der Karawanken stattfand.Die fortschreitende Heraushebung unterbrach diese Transportwege und führte zum Lösen großer Schollen von Wettersteinkalk, die nach Norden abglitten. Begünstigt wurde dieser Vorgang durch die Unterlagerung des Wettersteinkalkes durch mächtige Raibler Schiefer, die als Gleitmittel dienten.Die abgeglittenen Schollen (Tafeln bis zu 100–150 m Mächtigkeit und Längserstreckungen bis 2000 m) wurden dann in die grobklastischen Sedimente des Vorlandes konkordant eingelagert. Beide Vorgänge, Lösen und Abgleiten ins Vorland dieser Tafeln deuten auf eine rasche Hebung des Karawankenkörpers hin.Die weitere Hebung brachte dann nur noch sehr grobe Karbonatkiese, die die hangenden Anteile des grobklastischen Jungtertiärs (Bärental Konglomerat) bilden.In der weiteren Folge wurden diese Sedimente noch vom Karawankenkörper über eine kurze Strecke überschoben und auch in die fortschreitende Hebung (Ostteile) miteinbezogen.
During the sedimentation of the Rosenbacher Kohleschichten (W.Klaus 1956, Untersarmat) the Karawanken were not so important for yielding sediments. As to be seen by the distribution of these sediments in the Karawanken area, at least its northern parts were covered by them. The top layers of the Rosenbacher Kohleschichten, consisting of clayey, sandy, well shaped gravels (with a high percentage of quartz) show first strong embankments from the Karawanken indicating a beginning uplift. Their gravel composition assigns that at the beginning of this development there was yet a transport northward from the area of the Periadriatische Naht through the Nordstamm of the Karawanken on many places.The proceeding uplift interrupted some of these spillways and lead to a discharge of large plates of Wettersteinkalk which glided northward. This procedure was favored by the thick Raibler Schiefer underlying the Wettersteinkalk and working as a lubricant.The down-glided plates (to 100–200 m thickness and a width up to 2000 m) were then embedded concordantly in the coarse clastic sediments of the forelands. Both, discharge and gliding of the plates point to a quick uplift of the Karawanken during Obersarmat.The further uplift yielded only very coarse carbonate gravels forming the top layers of the coarse clastic Young Tertiary (Bärental Konglomerat).Henceforth these sediments were overthrust by the Karawankenbody over a short distance and included in the advancing uplift (Eastern parts).
Résumé Pendant la sédimentation des Rosenbacher Kohleschichten (W. Klaus 1956, Sarmatien inférieur) les Karawanken ne jouaient pas un grand rôle dans l'apport de sédiments. Tout au moins les sédiments couvraient-ils les pentes nord des Karawanken. Le toit des Rosenbacher Kohleschichten (formées par les graviers sableux et argileux, bien roulés, avec quartz abondant) montrent les premiers remblaiements provenant des Karawanken. Ceuxci indiquent le commencement du soulèvement des Karawanken. La composition des galets indiquent que, au commencement de ce développement, il y avait encore un transport bien marqué de galets depuis la suture périadriatique par dessus le rameau septentrional des Karawanken. Le soulèvement progressif interrompit cette voie de transport et conduisit à la séparation des grands blocaux du Wettersteinkalk, qui glissèrent vers le Nord. Ce processus était favorisé par la présence d'une puissante couche de Schistes de Raibler en-dessous du Wettersteinkalk, agissant comme lubrifiant.Puis les blocaux entraînés (des plaques de 100 à 200 m. d'épaisseur, jusqu'à 2000 m. de long), venaient s'intercaler en concordance dans les sédiments clastiques grossiers de l'avant-pays. Les deux phénomènes, séparation et glissement de ces plaques dans l'avantpays, indiquent un soulèvement rapide des Karawanken. Le soulèvement ultérieur ne délivra que de gros cailloux carbonatiques qui forment la partie supérieure du Miocène clastique (Bärentalkonglomerat).Dans la suite, ces sédiments furent chevauchés sur une courte distance par les Karawanken et impliqués aussi dans le soulèvement encore en cours (partie orientale).

Various techniques are utilized by the seismological community, extractive industries, energy and geoengineering companies to identify earthquake nucleation processes in close proximity to engineering operation points. These operations may comprise fluid extraction or injections, artificial water reservoir impoundments, open pit and deep mining, deep geothermal power generations or carbon sequestration. In this letter to the editor, we outline several lines of investigation that we suggest to follow to address the discrimination problem between natural seismicity and seismic events induced or triggered by geoengineering activities. These suggestions have been developed by a group of experts during several meetings and workshops, and we feel that their publication as a summary report is helpful for the geoscientific community. Specific investigation procedures and discrimination approaches, on which our recommendations are based, are also published in this Special Issue (SI) of Journal of Seismology. 相似文献

This report of the Swiss Seismological Service summarizes the seismic activity in Switzerland and surrounding regions during
2008. During this period, 451 earthquakes and 75 quarry blasts were detected and located in the region under consideration.
The three strongest events occurred in the Valais, near Lac des Toules (ML 3.6), and in Graubünden, near Ilanz (ML 3.7) and Paspels (ML 4.0). Although felt by the population, they were not reported to have caused any damage. However, with a total of only 15
events with ML ≥ 2.5, the seismic activity in the year 2008 was far below the average over the previous 33 years. 相似文献
