Резюме

Мы представляем GPS-наблюдения за мониторингом деформаций земной коры в Азербайджане и на прилегающей территории, которые проводились с 1998 года. В отличие от наших предыдущих исследований, здесь собрано еще больше данных постоянных GPS-станций и съемки, что, соответственно, позволило нам более точно определить динамику основных тектонических структур.


С 2006 года Институтом геологии и геофизики было создано восемь постоянных станций. В 2012 году Республиканский центр сейсмологической службы Национальной академии наук Азербайджана приступил к строительству постоянных станций GPS, всего было установлено 24 станции. С 1998 по 2022 год неоднократно проводились измерения на более чем 35 пунктах наблюдения.


В широком масштабе поле скоростей GPS четко иллюстрирует движение Кавказа и прилегающих регионов в северо–северо-восточном направлении относительно Евразии к югу от Главного Кавказского надвига (ГКН). Здесь важно отметить резкое уменьшение скоростей на пунктах измерения и вращение по часовой стрелке между пунктами, расположенными к западу от Западно-Каспийского разлома (ЗКР) в Куринской впадине и Талышском районе, и участками к востоку от ЗКР на Абшеронском полуострове. Такое уменьшение и различие в направлениях GPS-векторов указывает на высокие скорости накопления деформации – ~6 мм/год к югу от Абшеронского полуострова. Мы полагаем, что значительное накопление упругой энергии является одной из основных причин активизации сейсмических событий и грязевых вулканов в этом регионе. Таким образом, пространственное уплотнение GPS- наблюдений необходимо для лучшего разрешения локализованных деформаций и, следовательно, сейсмической опасности на Восточном Кавказе, в Куринской впадине и на Абшероне.

Ключевые слова: Деформация, тектонические структуры, мониторинг, GPS, землетрясение, сейсмическая опасность
