    2025年定日MW7.1地震同震形变特征及断层滑动分布

    Coseismic deformation and fault slip distribution inversion of the 2025 MW7.1 Dingri, Xizang, earthquake

    • 摘要: 2025年1月7日,中国西藏自治区日喀则市定日县发生MW7.1地震,震中位于青藏高原南缘申扎—定结裂谷南段与藏南拆离系断裂的交汇处,产生空间分布复杂的地表形变. 为厘清此次地震发震构造特征与断层滑动分布,本文综合采用合成孔径雷达干涉测量技术与震源机制反演方法对其进行系统研究. 结果表明:(1)同震变形以近南北走向的沉降区为主,最大视线向沉降量约1.4 m,抬升量约0.9 m,二维形变场显示断层西盘显著下沉并西向运动,东盘相对抬升并东向运动,揭示了以正断层为主、兼具少量走滑分量的破裂性质;(2)基于均匀弹性半空间理论假设,采用单断层模型反演获得登么错断裂的最优几何参数(走向184.6°,倾角54°),该模型虽能较好解释主断层邻近区域的主要形变,但在其西侧仍存在显著的残余形变,表明单一断层模型在刻画完整形变空间分布上的存在局限;(3)为合理解释残差形变,引入共轭双断层模型进行联合反演,结果表明地震破裂以西倾主断层为主,同时伴随东倾高角度次断层的协同破裂,二者均表现为正断层特征. 共轭双断层模型显著提升了次断层附近失相干区的形变拟合精度,更完整地解释了观测的整体形变特征. 取剪切模量为30 GPa时,双断层模型联合反演得到的地震矩约为3.69×1019 N·m,对应矩震级MW7.03. 研究表明此次地震为一次典型的共轭正断层破裂事件,凸显了共轭断层系统在藏南裂谷区应变分配与能量释放中的重要作用,对深入理解区域构造变形模式与地震危险性评价具有重要启示.

       

      Abstract: On January 7, 2025, an MW7.1 earthquake struck Dingri County, Xigaze City, on the southern margin of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau, China. The epicenter was located at the intersection between the southern segment of the Shenzha–Dingjie Rift and the South Tibetan Detachment System, a tectonically complex region characterized by active extensional deformation. The earthquake induced large-amplitude coseismic surface deformation with a highly heterogeneous spatial distribution. To clarify the seismogenic structural characteristics and fault slip distribution of this event, we conducted a systematic investigation by integrating Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) observations with seismic source mechanism and fault slip inversion methods. (1) The InSAR-derived deformation fields reveal that the coseismic deformation was dominated by a nearly north–south-trending subsidence zone, with a maximum line-of-sight (LOS) subsidence of approximately 1.4 m and a maximum uplift of about 0.9 m. The two-dimensional deformation field further indicates pronounced subsidence accompanied by westward horizontal motion on the western side of the fault, while the eastern side exhibits relative uplift and eastward motion. These deformation characteristics suggest that the earthquake rupture was primarily governed by normal faulting, with a minor strike-slip component. (2) Based on the assumption of a homogeneous elastic half-space, a single-fault model was first employed to invert the observed coseismic deformation, yielding the optimal geometric parameters for the Dengmocuo Fault, with a strike of 184.6° and a dip angle of 54°. Although this single-fault model satisfactorily explains the major deformation features in the vicinity of the main fault, significant residual deformation remains on the western side of the fault. This result indicates the inherent limitations of a single planar fault model in fully reproducing the complete spatial pattern of the observed deformation field. (3) To reasonably account for the residual deformation, a conjugate double-fault model was introduced for joint inversion. The results demonstrate that the earthquake rupture was dominated by a west-dipping main fault, accompanied by the synchronous rupture of an east-dipping, high-angle subsidiary fault. Both faults exhibit typical normal-faulting characteristics. Compared with the single-fault model, the conjugate double-fault model significantly improves the deformation fitting accuracy, particularly within incoherent zones near the subsidiary fault, and provides a more comprehensive explanation for the overall observed deformation pattern. Assuming a shear modulus of 30 GPa, the joint inversion based on the double-fault model yields a total seismic moment of approximately 3.69 × 1019 N·m, corresponding to a moment magnitude of Mw 7.03. The results indicate that the 2025 Dingri earthquake represents a typical conjugate normal-faulting rupture event within the southern Tibetan Rift system. This study highlights the important role of conjugate fault systems in strain partitioning and energy release in extensional tectonic settings and provides valuable insights into the regional deformation mechanisms and seismic hazard assessment of the southern Qinghai–Xizang Plateau.
