Thanks to the new permanent seismic stations installed in the Franz Joseph Land and Severnaya Zemlya arctic archipelagoes, it has become possible at present to record earthquakes occurring in the eastern Gakkel ridge with a much lower detection threshold than that provided by the global network. At present, the lowest recorded magnitude is ML 2.4 and the magnitude of completeness is 3.4. We examined the results of seismic monitoring conducted from December 2016 through January 2020 to show that the earthquake epicenters are not uniformly distributed both in space and over time within the eastern part of the ridge. There were periods of quiescence and seismic activity. Most of the epicenters are confined to the area between 86° and 95.0° E. Relative location techniques were used to locate the single major swarm of earthquakes recorded so far. Most earthquakes were recorded by two or three stations only, so that relative location techniques have been able to yield reliable data for an analysis of the swarm. We showed that there have been actually two swarms that contained different numbers of events. The earthquakes in the larger swarm were occurring nonuniformly over time and clustered at certain depths. The ML scale was calibrated for the Eurasian Arctic based on records of the seismic stations installed in the Svalbard Archipelago, Franz Joseph Land, and on Severnaya Zemlya: −logA0(R)=1.5×logR100+1.0×10−4(R−100)+3.0⁠. The results will help expand our knowledge of the tectonic and magmatic processes occurring within the ultraslow Gakkel ridge, which are reflected in the local seismicity.

北冰洋东部超慢传播 Gakkel 海脊的低震级地震

由于在 Franz Joseph Land 和 Severnaya Zemlya 北极群岛安装了新的永久性地震台站,目前可以用比全球网络提供的检测阈值低得多的检测阈值来记录发生在 Gakkel 山脊东部的地震。目前,记录的最低震级为 ML 2.4,完整性震级为 3.4。我们检查了 2016 年 12 月至 2020 年 1 月进行的地震监测结果,表明地震震中在山脊东部的空间和时间上分布不均。有静止期和地震活动期。大多数震中都局限于东经 86° 和 95.0°之间的区域。相对定位技术用于定位迄今为止记录的单个主要地震群。大多数地震仅由两个或三个台站记录,因此相对定位技术能够为分析群提供可靠的数据。我们表明实际上有两个群包含不同数量的事件。大地震群中的地震随着时间的推移不均匀地发生,并聚集在一定深度。根据安装在斯瓦尔巴群岛、弗朗茨约瑟夫地和 Severnaya Zemlya 上的地震台站的记录,对欧亚北极地区的 ML 标度进行了校准:−logA0(R)=1.5×logR100+1.0×10−4(R−100 )+3.0⁠。结果将有助于扩展我们对超慢 Gakkel 海脊内发生的构造和岩浆过程的了解,这些过程反映在当地的地震活动中。这样相对定位技术就能够产生可靠的数据来分析群体。我们表明实际上有两个群包含不同数量的事件。大地震群中的地震随着时间的推移不均匀地发生,并聚集在一定深度。根据安装在斯瓦尔巴群岛、弗朗茨约瑟夫地和 Severnaya Zemlya 上的地震台站的记录,对欧亚北极地区的 ML 标度进行了校准:−logA0(R)=1.5×logR100+1.0×10−4(R−100 )+3.0⁠。结果将有助于扩展我们对超慢 Gakkel 海脊内发生的构造和岩浆过程的了解,这些过程反映在当地的地震活动中。这样相对定位技术就能够产生可靠的数据来分析群体。我们表明实际上有两个群包含不同数量的事件。大地震群中的地震随着时间的推移不均匀地发生,并聚集在一定深度。根据安装在斯瓦尔巴群岛、弗朗茨约瑟夫地和 Severnaya Zemlya 上的地震台站的记录,对欧亚北极地区的 ML 标度进行了校准:−logA0(R)=1.5×logR100+1.0×10−4(R−100 )+3.0⁠。结果将有助于扩展我们对超慢 Gakkel 海脊内发生的构造和岩浆过程的了解,这些过程反映在当地的地震活动中。大地震群中的地震随着时间的推移不均匀地发生,并聚集在一定深度。根据安装在斯瓦尔巴群岛、弗朗茨约瑟夫地和 Severnaya Zemlya 上的地震台站的记录,对欧亚北极地区的 ML 标度进行了校准:−logA0(R)=1.5×logR100+1.0×10−4(R−100 )+3.0⁠。结果将有助于扩展我们对超慢 Gakkel 海脊内发生的构造和岩浆过程的了解,这些过程反映在当地的地震活动中。大地震群中的地震随着时间的推移不均匀地发生,并聚集在一定深度。根据安装在斯瓦尔巴群岛、弗朗茨约瑟夫地和 Severnaya Zemlya 上的地震台站的记录,对欧亚北极地区的 ML 标度进行了校准:−logA0(R)=1.5×logR100+1.0×10−4(R−100 )+3.0⁠。结果将有助于扩展我们对超慢 Gakkel 海脊内发生的构造和岩浆过程的了解,这些过程反映在当地的地震活动中。
