Paleoearthquake data obtained from fault trenching are essential for rebuilding the rupture history and understanding the rupture behavior of active faults. However, due to the lack of attention to stratigraphic sequences, the usual multiple trench constraining method may result in uncertainties of paleoearthquake sequences. In this study, we proposed an improved constraining method to generate stratigraphic sequences from multiple trenches of different drainages to obtain a paleoearthquake sequence of the Gulang fault. Single-trench stratigraphic sequences were built up by nineteen trenches excavated along the fault. Based on stratigraphic characteristics, we found the strata sedimented around the fault were derived from five drainages. The single-trench sequences were divided into five drainages to establish the composite sequence of multiple trenches through the correlation of stratigraphic units. Meanwhile, we used high-quality event indicators to pick out very likely earthquakes. Coupled with the dating samples, the events were used to determine the earthquake horizons in the composite sequence and to constrain the numbers and ages of events in each drainage. After combining the event sequences, six paleoearthquakes were determined along the Gulang fault since the late Pleistocene. Their occurrence timings are 13700–10400, 10400–10200, 8560–7295, 5825–4810, 4285–3200, and 2615–2240 a B.P.. And their different rupture scenarios indicate that the fault might be composed of two rupture segments.

晚更新世以来受不同流域地层层序约束的古地震:以青藏高原东北部古浪断裂为例

从断层挖沟获得的古地震数据对于重建破裂历史和了解活动断层的破裂行为至关重要。然而,由于缺乏对地层序列的关注,通常的多槽约束方法可能会导致古地震序列的不确定性。在这项研究中,我们提出了一种改进的约束方法,从不同流域的多个海沟中生成地层序列,以获得古浪断层的古地震序列。沿断层开挖的 19 条沟渠构成了单沟地层层序。根据地层特征,我们发现断层周围沉积的地层来自五个水系。通过地层单元的对比,将单海沟层序划分为5个水系,建立多海沟的复合层序。同时,我们使用高质量的事件指标来挑选出极有可能发生的地震。与测年样本相结合,这些事件被用来确定复合序列中的地震层,并限制每个流域中事件的数量和年龄。结合事件序列,确定了晚更新世以来沿古浪断裂发生的6次古地震。它们的出现时间分别为 13700-10400、10400-10200、8560-7295、5825-4810、4285-3200 和 2615-2240 a BP。并且它们不同的破裂情景表明该断层可能由两个破裂段组成。我们使用高质量的事件指标来挑选出极有可能发生的地震。与测年样本相结合,这些事件被用来确定复合序列中的地震层,并限制每个流域中事件的数量和年龄。结合事件序列,确定了晚更新世以来沿古浪断裂发生的6次古地震。它们的出现时间分别为 13700-10400、10400-10200、8560-7295、5825-4810、4285-3200 和 2615-2240 a BP。并且它们不同的破裂情景表明该断层可能由两个破裂段组成。我们使用高质量的事件指标来挑选出极有可能发生的地震。与测年样本相结合,这些事件被用来确定复合序列中的地震层,并限制每个流域中事件的数量和年龄。结合事件序列,确定了晚更新世以来沿古浪断裂发生的6次古地震。它们的出现时间分别为 13700-10400、10400-10200、8560-7295、5825-4810、4285-3200 和 2615-2240 a BP。并且它们不同的破裂情景表明该断层可能由两个破裂段组成。结合事件序列,确定了晚更新世以来沿古浪断裂发生的6次古地震。它们的出现时间分别为 13700-10400、10400-10200、8560-7295、5825-4810、4285-3200 和 2615-2240 a BP。并且它们不同的破裂情景表明该断层可能由两个破裂段组成。结合事件序列,确定了晚更新世以来沿古浪断裂发生的6次古地震。它们的出现时间分别为 13700-10400、10400-10200、8560-7295、5825-4810、4285-3200 和 2615-2240 a BP。并且它们不同的破裂情景表明该断层可能由两个破裂段组成。
