简介：继2008年5月12日汶川8.0级地震之后,2010年4月14日我国大陆西部的青海玉树又发生了7.1级地震,造成了巨大的生命财产损失。值此玉树地震5周年之际,对该区域地震的预测研究进行回顾,从地震前兆资料、地震大形势、构造相互作用、应力的积累与释放、周边大震的影响等方面进行了经验总结和讨论。分析认为地震中长期预测仍将是地震预报和地震短临预报的突破口,从大的背景判定危险区域,投入监测力度,进而进行小区域研究分析,在震前找到一定的前兆信息或者资料积累等仍将是未来的努力方向。

简介：在2014年10月2日乌兰5.1级地震震源机制和柴达木盆地的构造动力学特征讨论基础上,认为该地震的发震构造为柴达木盆地南缘断裂带。由于该次地震的破裂面倾角相对较陡,矩心深度也相对较深,可能反映出发震构造在浅部的倾角较缓,到了深部有所变陡。结合历史地震和特殊构造特点,综合分析认为：乌兰5.1级地震后,未来应特别关注南祁连构造带和柴达木盆地南缘断裂带西北段的茫崖油沙山断裂的中强地震活动。

简介：2015年4月25日尼泊尔廓尔喀地区发生Ms8.1级地震,本文分析了加德满都强震台站的强地震动记录特征,其水平向地震动表现为明显的脉冲地震动,脉冲周期约为6.0s,反映了近场地震动的方向性效应;处于深厚沉积层上的加德满都谷地对地震动有一定的放大作用,且主震的场地峰值频率向低频段偏移,出现明显的场地非线性反应;采用随机有限断层方法模拟的空间地震动分布与宏观地震烈度图符合较好,可以为分析宏观震害提供参考;通过与尼泊尔设计反应谱对比,得出在短周期与长周期段,加德满都台站的水平向地震动的反应谱远高于设计反应谱,说明即使严格按照尼泊尔建筑抗震规范设计施工的建筑结构也难以抵御此次地震的破坏.

简介：总结了张家口涿鹿县Ms4.3级地震应急调查工作,了解到震区一带的震感现象和地震影响的分布情况.依据《地震现场工作大纲和技术指南》,以《中国地震烈度表（GB/T17742-2008）》为烈度评定标准以及其对现场实地调查的要求,确定了此次地震震中区一带的地震影响烈度为V度,并圈定了地震的等烈度分布区域.同时,依据震源机制解和现场调查情况,分析了此次地震的特征.
