简介：2014年11月15日,在甘肃省白银市景泰县发生MS4.7地震,震源深度10km。在震中附近200km以内,甘肃省地震局共安装架设有14台各类形变观测仪器。本文通过对这些形变观测仪产出的分钟值观测资料做小波分析发现,在地震前1个月内共有11台(套)形变观测仪记录到了异常变化。其中:SSY、TJ、DSQ、SSQ型观测仪记录到异常的同步性非常好;CZB型观测仪记录到的异常比较乱,没有固定的规律。通过对这些异常变化的总结能够为地震预测提供一定的判断依据。

简介：本文收集了733个四川地区的实测钻孔数据,从中筛选出深度大于30m的268个钻孔剖面资料.分别获得了10m、15m、20m、25m和28m不同深度处的平均剪切波速（Vs）（d）与（Vs）（30）的对数线性相关关系.同时还与Boore（2004）的结果做了对比分析,比较了采用常数外推法和对数线性外推法得到的不同深度处剪切波速的残差分布.结果表明,不同深度处剪切波速（Vs）（d）与（Vs）（30）的对数相关关系可能具有一定的区域性特征,本文得到的对数关系更适合四川地区.对数线性外推法与常数外推法相比,前者的系统偏差更小;随着深度的增加,两种方法的外推误差均逐渐减小,但常数外推法普遍低估了（Vs）（30）值;当深度较浅时,低估的情况更为明显.本文的研究结果为利用大量的不足30m的钻孔资料估计（Vs）（30）值提供了参考.

简介：为了核实赤峰1号井2014年初气汞异常现象,安装ATG-6138M测汞仪与原DFG-B测汞仪进行对比观测。ATG-6138M测汞仪观测到赤峰1号井房内空气汞浓度明显高于井孔内逸出汞浓度,表明观测井房可能存在汞污染问题。两台仪器同步观测井孔内逸出气汞浓度结果表明,ATG-6138M测汞仪测试结果稳定,动态清晰,而DFG-B测汞仪观测误差较大。对比DFG-B测汞仪与ATG-6138M测汞仪校准结果认为,DFG-B测汞仪已不能正常观测汞浓度的变化,存在捕汞管老化等仪器问题。综合分析表明,赤峰1号井DFG-B测汞仪存在环境汞污染和仪器老化等因素,且集气装置不符合地震行业标准技术要求,2014年初出现的气汞浓度异常信度不高,不能作为与地震孕育有关的前兆异常信息。
