摘要: 基于中国地震台网提供的震相观测报告,利用双差方法对长宁—兴文地区2019—2020年1 948个ML≥2.0地震事件进行了重定位,重定位后的1 823个ML≥2.0地震事件分布显示长宁—兴文地区北区地震序列沿NW—SE方向背斜展布,而南区地震分布较分散。计算了四川长宁—兴文地区2019年6月17日至2020年12月31日208个ML≥3.0地震的地震矩和应力降等震源参数,分析了2019年6月17日长宁MS6.0地震后研究区内地震应力降的演化特征,结果显示长宁—兴文地区中强地震发生前ML3.0—3.9地震的应力降显著升高,且ML≥4.0地震多发生在ML3.0—3.9地震的应力降高值区。Abstract: A MS6.0 earthquake with a focal depth of 16 km occurred with the epicenter of (28.34°N, 104.90°E) in Changning county, Yibin city, Sichuan Province on June 17, 2019. There were three strong aftershocks above MS5.0 within five days after the Changning earthquake and another MS5.6 earthquake occurred in Gongxian County on July 4. This paper relocated 1 948 ML≥2.0 earthquakes in Changning-Xingwen area during 2019 to 2020 by the double difference method based on the seismic phase observation report provided by the China Seismic Network. The distribution of 1 823 earthquakes above ML2.0 after relocation shows that the aftershock sequence in the northern area of Changning spreads along the NW-SE direction anticline. Moreover, the earthquakes in southern area is more scattered. We calculated source parameters such as seismic moment and stress drop based on 208 earthquakes with magnitude above ML3.0 in Changning, Sichuan from January 2019 to December 2020, and analyzed the evolution characteristics of seismic stress drop in the region before and after the Changning MS6.0 earthquake on June 17, 2019. The results show that the stress drop of ML3.0−3.9 earthquakes before the strong aftershocks significantly increased in Changning-Xingwen area, and most of the earthquakes with magnitude above ML4.0 occurred in the high stress drop area of ML3.0−3.9 earthquakes in the study area.
