摘要：
The 2008 Gaize MW6.4 earthquake, occurring on the tensional active fault zone located between Lhasa terrane and Qiangtang terrane in the interior of Tibet is a typical normal-faulting event. In this paper, we resolve the three-dimensional coseismic displacement fields of the earthquakes using a least-square iterative approximation solution with a priori knowledge, according to the theoretical basis that InSAR measurements are extremely insensitive to N-S component. Results show that the boundary dividing the two sides of the main-shock fault is very clear in the vertical movement, and two remarkable subsidence centers can be observed on the hanging wall, while amplitude of the west one(-48.9cm) is larger than the east(-41.4cm), but the maximum uplift on the footwall is only 5cm. In addition to some northward movement with amplitude less than 5cm around the aftershock fault, the north-south deformation field suggests an overall southward movement. The three-dimensional results indicate that the induced surface movement is predominantly vertical and mostly occurred on the upper side, while there are obvious east-west separation and eastward rotation in the horizontal plane. The full vectors are consistent with simulated deformation field with the RMSE less than 6cm, so the research demonstrates the feasibility of the method to recover precise three-dimensional deformation field. On the whole, the three-dimensional deformation field coincides with the tensile fracture characteristics of Gaize earthquakes, and the tectonic stress background of coeval east-west extension and north-south shortening. © 2016, Editorial Office of Seismology and Geology.
