摘要:

活动断层的有效定位和监测是抗灾规划、防灾减灾工作的重要前提。针对断距不明显的城市/近城区活动断层难以探测的实际问题,以美国休斯敦地区为例,利用L波段ALOS-1和C波段Sentinel-1 SAR数据,采取MT-InSAR技术获取了休斯敦北部区域地表形变速率图,并根据InSAR监测结果定位了区域活动断层。结果表明休斯敦北部区域存在3条大范围活动断层带,即Hockley断层带、Big Barn断层带和Conroe断层带。利用LiDAR、地球物理勘察绘制断层迹线和现场调查信息验证了InSAR探测断层迹线的有效性和准确性,并结合InSAR监测结果剖线及GPS时间序列数据分析了该断层系统的构造特征及时空演化规律,揭示了该地区断层的加速活动与地下水过度汲取之间有高度时空相关性,地下水过量开采促使地面沉降的发生,进而加强了已有断层的垂直运动或诱发新的断层活动。本文研究不仅监测到了休斯敦地区已知断层的活动性,还探测到其他地空技术尚未发现的活跃断层迹线,对城市规划和防灾减灾具有重要意义。

Abstract:

Effectively locating and monitoring the active faults are vital for providing insights into disaster management, as well as preventing and mitigating faulting-related disasters. In order to position and monitor the small magnitude faults in urban/suburban areas using MT-InSAR technology, the deformation map over northern Houston region of Texas, USA has been constructed by L-band ALOS-1 and C-band Sentinel-1 SAR datasets. Numerous areas of sharp phase discontinuities have been discerned from InSAR-derived deformation map, and three fault systems are discovered over the northern Houston, i.e., Hockley fault system, Big Barn fault system and Conroe fault system. The reliability of InSAR-detected fault traces has been validated through LiDAR, geophysical surveys and field survey information. The characteristic of mapped fault zones using both section lines across fault traces and GPS time-series observations was analyzed. The results show that there is a high temporal and spatial correlation between the fault activation and excessive water exploitation; excessive groundwater exploitation promotes the occurrence of land subsidence, which in turn strengthens the vertical movement of existing faults or induces new fault activities. Not only those previously known faults position, but also the new fault traces that have not been mapped by other ground/space techniques, are imaged by InSAR measurement, which has great effects on urban planning, disaster prevention and mitigation.
