Lithosphere dynamics and deformation of the central North China Craton: Constraints from new seismic images

Abstract:
The North China Craton, which experienced distinct diachronous lithospheric thinning in the late Mesozoic and Cenozoic, provides a classic example of lithospheric reactivation to mantle upwelling in the world. In this talk, I will focus on the central North China Craton, which is a transition zone between the relatively stable Ordos Block and the Huabei Basin suffering from cratonic destruction. Firstly, I will talk about the techniques we used in imaging the crust and mantle structure, such as ambient noise tomography, array-based two plane surface wave tomography, and joint inversion of surface wave and receiver function. Then I will present the new seismic images derived from ambient noise and earthquake data, which help understanding the continental rifting and lithospheric modification in this region. Specifically, different rifting mechanisms between the southern and northern segments of the Fenhe-Weihe Rift is revealed by our isotropic and anisotropic images.

Deciphering subduction polarity reversal from the Cretaceous Andaman Ophiolite, SE Asia

Abstract:
Switching of subduction zone polarity (subduction polarity reversal) is believed to be a key mechanism to initiate new subduction zone system, however inferring it from rock record is challenging. Ophiolites are widely studied to unravel the evolutionary history of intra-oceanic subduction, from the juvenile stages to subduction maturation. Here we present an integrated geochemical and geochronological synthesis of various rock types of Andaman Ophiolite to evaluate the feasibility of a previously speculated process of subduction initiation via polarity reversal when the former (Woyla) arc collided with the Sundaland continent. The Andaman Ophiolite Suite is exposed on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the outer arc ridge of the Sunda trench of the India-Eurasia subduction system. The Ophiolite Suite is made up of incoherent Penrose sequence including contrasting crustal (especially volcanic) and mantle rocks along with underlying metamorphic sole and mélange, and an overlying Palaeogene and younger forearc sedimentary sequence. Detailed field observation indicated that the existing geochemical and geochronological results on the Andaman Ophiolite and its metamorphic sole are difficult to reconcile in a single tectonic setting but may rather record different stages in a longer evolution. They may contain crustal and mantle rocks that formed during juvenile stages of intra-oceanic subduction, modifying the pre-existing oceanic lithosphere within which subduction started, and in which a magmatic arc formed upon subduction maturation. To this end, we provide new, and review existing geochemical as well as geochronological constraints on the formation of its crustal rocks, as well as the evolution of its mantle portion. We identify mafic magmatic rocks and cogenetic plagiogranites that are consistent with formation in a magmatic arc, whereas other magmatic rocks, as well as metamorphic sole protoliths, have characteristics indicative of a back-arc origin. Three new, and two previous zircon U/Pb ages of arc magmatic rocks give a 99–93 Ma age range, but we also identify an inherited ~105 Ma age. This latter age coincides with Ar/Ar cooling ages of the Andaman metamorphic sole, and with a plagioclase xenocryst age from recent Barren Island volcanics east of Andaman. The geochemical and geochronological constraints of the Andaman ophiolites are straightforwardly explained in the context of the regional kinematic history: (1) The original lithosphere formed in the back-arc basin of the Woyla intra-oceanic arc that collided in the mid-Cretaceous with Sumatra; (2) Subduction initiation and SSZ ophiolite formation within this basin occurred around or slightly before 105 Ma; (3) This was followed by arc magmatism between 99 and 93 Ma upon subduction maturation. This study thus directly contradicts the previously inferred ~95 Ma age of the Andaman ophiolite and the concurrent subduction initiation as well as provides new insights into the possible petrological manifestation of subduction polarity reversal scenario.

Blending Physics-Based numerical simulations and seismic databases using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for Earthquake Engineering and Structural Health Monitoring

Abstract:
A new strategy to blend the outcome of physics-based numerical simulations with massive seismic databases is proposed, in order to improve earthquake simulation and structural health monitoring. The approach relies on a set of adversarial learning techniques with a threefold purpose: (1) finding a reduced-dimensional non-linear representation of both synthetic and experimental data; (2) training a stochastic generator of fake experimental responses conditioned by the physics-based simulation results; (3) classify the damage class based on the structural response and predict the damaged response. This methodology is applied to earthquake ground motion prediction and structural damage assessment. Regional three-dimensional high-fidelity numerical models accounting for both extended sources and complex geology are still limited to a low-frequency range. Moreover, they are prone to significant uncertainties induced by a lack of data on small scale geological structures and rupture processes. Databases of broadband seismic signals recorded worldwide at seismological networks are used to retrieve some pieces of information on these small-scale data to generate realistic broadband signals from synthetic ones. On the other hand, given the structural response of an undamaged structure, engineers need to predict the eventual damage beforehand, based on a monitoring network. The proposed tool demonstrates outstanding performances in encoding seismic signals, together with efficient generation capabilities and cluster capabilities, provided that the physics-based results carry enough information to properly condition the stochastic generator and classify the damage state. In addition, the proposed method, fed only with raw data from both databases and numerical models, outperforms other random signal generators based on pre-existing expertise such as prescribed spectra and more or less complex phenomenological models.

Title: Segmentation and supercycles: A catalog of earthquake rupture patterns from well-studied faults worldwide

Abstract:
After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense against seismic natural disasters.  A concept that has come into focus more recently is that rupture segmentation and cyclicity can be complex, and that a characteristic earthquake model is too simple to adequately describe much of fault behavior.  Nevertheless, recognizable patterns in earthquake recurrence emerge from long, high resolution, spatially distributed chronologies.  Researchers now seek to discover the maximum, minimum, and typical rupture areas; the distribution, variability, and spatial applicability of recurrence intervals; and patterns of earthquake clustering in space and time.  The term “supercycle” has been used to describe repeating longer periods of elastic strain accumulation and release that involve multiple fault ruptures.  However, this term has become very broadly applied, lumping together several distinct phenomena that likely have disparate underlying causes.  I divide earthquake cycle behavior into four major classes that have different implications for seismic hazard and fault mechanics: 1) quasi-periodic similar ruptures, 2) clustered similar ruptures, 3) clustered complementary ruptures / rupture cascades, and 4) superimposed cycles.  “Segmentation” is likewise an ambiguous term; we identify “master segments” and “asperities” as defined by barriers to fault rupture.  These barriers may be persistent (rarely or never traversed), frequent (occasionally traversed), or ephemeral (changing location from cycle to cycle).  I present a catalog of the historical and paleoseismic evidence that currently exists for each of these types of behavior on major well-studied faults worldwide.  Due to the unique level of paleoseismic and paleogeodetic detail provided by the coral microatoll technique, the Sumatran Sunda megathrust provides one of the most complete records over multiple earthquake rupture cycles.  Long historical records of earthquakes along the South American and Japanese subduction zones are also vital contributors to our catalog, along with additional data compiled from subduction zones in Cascadia, Alaska, and Middle America, as well as the North Anatolian and Dead Sea strike-slip faults in the Middle East.  This compilation reveals that persistent and frequent barriers, rupture cascades, superimposed cycles, and quasi-periodic similar ruptures are common features of most major faults.  Clustered similar ruptures do not appear to be common, but broad overlap zones between neighboring segments do occur. Barrier regions accommodate slip through reduced interseismic coupling, slow slip events, and/or smaller more localized ruptures, and are frequently associated with structural features such as subducting seafloor relief or fault trace discontinuities.  This catalog of observations provides a basis for exploring and modeling root causes of rupture segmentation and cycle behavior. We expect that researchers will recognize similar behavior styles on other major faults around the world.

 海底における広帯域地震観測はプレート境界浅部で発生する超低周波地震や低周波微動(スロー地震)の研究に重要です。海溝付近で発生するスロー地震を海底において高密度にモニタリング観測するためには、数多くの海底広帯域地震観測測器が必要となります。地震研究所では短周期地震センサを搭載した長期観測型海底地震計を開発して、主に微小地震観測に利用しています。そこで、複数台保有している長期観測型海底地震計に搭載されている地震センサを広帯域地震センサに換装することにより小型広帯域海底地震計(CBBOBS)を開発しました。搭載する広帯域地震センサの固有周期は20秒、または120秒です。海底地震計は自由落下方式で設置されるので、着底後の姿勢を制御できません。一方、地震センサは鉛直水平位置での計測が必要ですから、CBBOBSのために新しくレベリング装置を開発しました。開発したレベリング装置は従来のものと同じ大きさにすることで、換装を容易にしました。レベリング精度は1度以下であり、傾斜20度まで対応できます。開発したCBBOBSは既に、南海トラフ(日向灘)、南西諸島海溝および日本海溝に設置され、スロー地震の観測を行っています。スロー地震の観測以外にも海底火山の観測、地球内部の深部構造を求めるための海洋底観測などへの応用が期待されます。
