Determining accurate source parameters of small magnitude earthquakes is important to understand the source physics and tectonic processes that activate a seismic source as well as to make more accurate estimates of the probabilities of the recurrences of large earthquakes based on the statistics of smaller earthquakes. The accurate determination of the focal depths and focal mechanisms of small earthquakes is required to constrain the potential seismic source zones of future large earthquakes, whereas the accurate determination of seismic moment is required to calculate the sizes (best represented by moment magnitudes) of earthquakes. The precise determination of focal depths, moment magnitudes and focal mechanisms of small earthquakes can help greatly advance our knowledge of the potentially active faults in an area and thus help to produce accurate seismic hazard and risk maps for that area. Focal depths, moment magnitudes and focal mechanisms of earthquakes with magnitudes Mw 4.0 and less recorded by a sparse seismic network are usually poorly constrained due to the lack of an appropriate method applicable to find these parameters with a sparse set of observations. This dissertation presents a new method that can accurately determine focal depths, moment magnitudes and focal mechanisms of earthquakes with magnitudes between Mw 4.0 and Mw 2.5 using the broadband seismic waveforms recorded by the local and regional seismic stations. For the determination of the focal depths and the moment magnitudes, the observed seismograms as well as synthetic seismograms are filtered through a bandpass filter of 1-3 Hz, whereas for the determination of the focal mechanisms, they are filtered through a bandpass filter of 1.5-2.5 Hz. Both of these frequency passbands have a good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the small earthquakes of the magnitudes that are analyzed in this dissertation. The waveforms are processed to their envelopes in order to make the waveforms relatively simple for the modeling. A grid search is performed over all possible dip, rake and strike angles and as well as over possible depths and scalar moments to find the optimal value of the focal depth and the optimal value of the scalar moment. To find the optimal focal mechanism, a non-linear moment-tensor inversion is performed in addition to the coarse grid search over the possible dip, rake and strike angles at a fixed value of focal depth and a fixed value of scalar moment. The method of this dissertation is tested on 18 aftershocks of Mw between 3.70 and 2.60 of the 2011 Mineral, Virginia Mw 5.7 earthquake. The method is also tested on 5 aftershocks of Mw between 3.62 and 2.63 of the 2013 Ladysmith, Quebec Mw 4.5 earthquake. Reliable focal depths and moment magnitudes are obtained for all of these events using waveforms from as few as 1 seismic station within the epicentral distance of 68-424 km with SNR greater or equal to 5. Similarly, reliable focal mechanisms are obtained for all of the events with Mw 3.70-3.04 using waveforms from at least 3 seismic stations within the epicentral distance of 60-350 km each with SNR greater or equal to 10. Tests show that the moment magnitudes and focal depths are not very sensitive to the crustal model used, although systematic variations in the focal depths are observed with the total crustal thickness. Tests also show that the focal mechanisms obtained with the different crustal structures vary with the Kagan angle of 30o on average for the events and the crustal structures tested. This means that the event moment magnitudes and event focal mechanism determinations are only somewhat sensitive to the uncertainties in the crustal models tested. The method is applied to some aftershocks of the Mw 7.8, 2015 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake which shows that the method developed in this dissertation, by analyzing data from eastern North America, appears to give good results when applied in a very different tectonic environment in a different part of the world. This study confirms that the method of modeling envelopes of seismic waveforms developed in this dissertation can be used to extract accurate focal depths and moment magnitudes of earthquakes with Mw 3.70-2.60 using broadband seismic data recorded by local and regional seismic stations at epicentral distances of 68-424 km and accurate focal mechanisms of earthquakes with Mw 3.70-3.04 using broadband seismic data recorded by local and regional seismic stations at epicentral distances of 60-350 km

Full textIn the present work were calculated tensor solutions of earthquakes, using a microseismic network, located in Southern Albania. This is an area located at the southwestern tip of Albania, near the border with Greece and geologically belongs to the Ionian Zone. Specifically, they had studied and worked 22 seismic events were selected by specific tests from all the records of microseismic network was installed in the area. They had applied three methods for calculating focal mechanisms: a) Identification of mechanisms using polarity data – program FPFIT, b) Determination of focal mechanisms with reverse waveform – program ISOLA and c) Determination of focal mechanisms using P wave amplitudes, SV and SH – program FOCMEC. Initially, was being used the methodology of the first differences of P waves. This method relies on the fact that the way radiation of seismic waves is directly related to the geometry of the fault. The basic idea of the method is that the first motion of long waves, ie if dilution (arrival by pointing down) or compression (arrival by pointing up), depends on the direction (azimuth) of the station registration in relation to the earthquake. With this method were determined tensor solutions for the 22 seismic events. In a second step was being used and the amplitudes of seismic waves. Specifically, this method include other steps of the first gap and the reason of the amplitudes of transverse waves S, for amplitudes of waves P, ie the reason S/P waves significantly improved results with few or no stations are well distributed azimuthal. This method is relatively simple and requires only the differences between the different damping of the waves P and S and interest any local effects in each station (site effect) that can affect the back. By this method were also determined tensor solutions for 21 seismic events. The last method of treatment was used, includes calculation of focal mechanisms using the ISOLA project that identifies seismic moments tensor inversion of waveform data and local earthquakes. We were determined tensor solutions for 12 seismic events. The reversal process of the seismic moment tensor provides reliable information about the mechanism of generation and in particular the geometry of the fracture site, the seismic moment, the magnitude of seismic moment Mw, the seismic source and the depth of the outbreak. By the study and treatment of microseismic data in south Albania result that is an area of intense microseismic activity. The tensor solutions calculated, agree with each other for all three methods applied (FPFIT, ISOLA, FOCMEC). Specifically, calculated and horizontal reverse faults confirm the compression scheme that prevails in the region. Also identified mechanisms of normal faults that come from small earthquakes as justified by the appearance of evaporates in the study area. Finally, had found that is feasible the calculations of focal mechanisms with reverse waveforms even small seismic events.
