| Abstract: | 3-D S-waveQ structure in Jiashi earthquake region is inverted based on the attenuation of seismic waves recorded from earthquakes in
this region in 1998 by the Research Center of Exploration Geophysics (RCEG), CSB, and a rough configuration of deep crustal
faults in the earthquake region is presented. First, amplitude spectra of S-waves are extracted from 450 carefully-chosen
earthquake records, called observed amplitude spectra. Then, after instrumental and site effect correction, theoretical amplitude
spectra are made to fit observed amplitude spectra with nonlinear damped least-squares method to get the observed travel time
overQ, provided that earthquake sources conform to Brune’s disk dislocation model. Finally, by 3-D ray tracing method, theoretical
travel time overQ is made to fit observed travel time overQ with nonlinear damped least-squares method. In the course of fitting, the velocity model, which is obtained by 3-D travel
time tomography, remains unchanged, while onlyQ model is modified. When fitting came to the given accuracy, the ultimateQ model is obtained. The result shows that an NE-trending lowQ zone exists at the depths of 10–18 km, and an NW-trending lowQ zone exists at the depths of 12–18 km. These roughly coincide with the NE-trending and the NW-trending low velocity zones
revealed by other scientists. The difference is that the lowQ zones have a wider range than the low velocity zones.
