Abstract:

The Anninghe fault zone is a seismically active fault zone in western Sichuan characterized by strong earthquake activity. To investigate the lithology, physical properties, fine fault structure, and spatiotemporal variations of the fault medium, we applied cross-well seismic tomography to image the fine structure of the fault zone. The results derived using the bent-ray tracing method reveal a P-wave velocity structure image of the Anninghe fault zone that aligns well with fault features identified from borehole drilling and logging data. The acquired high-resolution velocity structural image provides crucial constraints for understanding the seismogenic processes of earthquakes on the Anninghe fault zone and for assessing its potential strong earthquake hazards.

Key words: anninghe fault zone, curved-ray tracing, cross-well seismic tomography, fine velocity structure
