Based on the data obtained since 1951 and the crustal vertical deformation rate calculated from the GPS data obtained from 1999 to 2007, the vertical deformation characteristics in QinghaiTibet block and southern China block, and the relationship between the vertical deformation and both of the occurrence and the development of Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake was studied. The results show that Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake happened in the vertical deformation rate gradient zone that was the dramatic rising area.The accumulation of deformation strain energy was related with collisions of the IndianEurasian plates, and the vertical uplift of the QinghaiTibet block by strong squeeze in NorthSouth direction at the front edge of the collision of the two plates with the substance movement to the East and SouthEast.
Taking the 2008 Gaize earthquake as an example, we use InSAR and MAI techniques to measure line of sight (LOS)and azimuth (AZI)deformations, respectively.InSAR+AZI(model 1)and MultiLOS(model 2)models are applied to reconstruct 3D coseismic deformation fields, Compared with simulations, we discover that the deformations in eastwest,vertical directions of the two models are consistent with each other; however, in northsouth direction, the results of model 1 are tally with the actual situation, while massive distortions occur in that of model 2.
Using the GPS observation results of 1999—2007 and 2009—2011 as the constraints, and based on the method of threedimensional finite element, the fault motion and segmentation characteristic of Kouquan fault in Datong basin were analyzed. The results show that the fault is more active in the middle part than the either side. The rightlateral velocity of the fault is 0.8 mm/a and its normal velocity is almost 1.5 mm/a in the middle part of the Kouquan fault.
The velocity field of the 296 stations in the SichuanYunnan region has been obtained with the GPS observation data of the CMONOC from 2009 to 2011. Based on the continuous deformation hypothesis, we use the data of the horizontal velocity field to compute the distribution of horizontal strain field in this region by the triangle method. Preliminary analysis indicates that: 1) In SichuanYunnan region, the crustal movement of north and west is stronger than that of south and east. The SichuanYunnan rhombic block is characterized by clockwise rotation. 2) The directions of the principal compressive strain axis and the P axis of the focal mechanism solution show that tectonic stress field in this region is relatively stable in a long term. 3) The high value areas of the principal strain and the maximum shear strain rate are in the Longmenshan fault zone and its surrounding region. In addition to the above areas, the significant highvalue properties of the maximum shear strain rate can be seen in the south of the Xianshuihe fault zone and the northwest segment of the Red River fault zone.
Combined the method of curve fitting when calculating a lowerfrequency strain field in a large area with the strain tensor matrix on the earth reference ellipsoid, we put forward a method of calculating strain parameters on reference ellipsoid by using multisurface function.

The result is in line with both characters of the major tectonic activity within this area and the main direction of P,Taxis from focal mechanism solutions
We analyzed 17 M≥6.0 earthquakes which occurred in the mainland of China from 2007 to 2011 by Total Electron Content (TEC) provided by IGS web. We used Principal Component Analysis(PCA) method to detect the TEC anomalies over the epicenter and compared with the method of sliding window statistics. The results show that the PCA analysis is not affected by geomagnetic storm, and broadly consistent with the results of the analysis of the two statistical methods. There are significant abnormalities in the same time and space. Ionospheric TEC anomalies are mainly concentrated in the 0-5 days before the earthquake.
Earthquake hazard of Datengxia reservoir in Guangxi region is analyzed using the selfmade software. The whole reservoir is divided into five segments, and eight factors are chosen to calculate the magnitude probability and the corresponding intensity of each segment. The results show that it is possible for the moderatestrong earthquake occurring in Kuwei to Lema and Daduwan to the dam after impoundment, the probabilities are 0.499 and 0.272, respectively. It is less likely to occur earthquake in the three segments between Lema and Daduwan. Under these circumstances, the epicentral intensity of the Kuwei to Lema and Daduwan to the dam segments will reach VI based on the intensity attenuation relationship of reservoir induced earthquake, and the lengths and widths of the isoseismal are 6.7 km, 3.8 km and 5.9 km, 3.3 km, respectively.

According to the requirements of the project, we undertook research on the activity of QingshankouHuangpi Fault. In this study, we measured gaseous mercury in soil and electromagnetic field along 4 lines accrosing the Fault by XG4 digital mercury analyzer and very low frequency analyzer. The measure data indicate that contenents of intensity of gaseous mercury in soil and electromagnetic is closely related to fault activity. In the active sections of the fault, abnormality of gaseous mercury in soil and electromagnetic field are much higher than that in the stable sections.The results mean that the two methods above can be used not only to confirm the location of faults,but also can be used to analize intensity of an active fault.
Combining with horizontal geoelectric field data in Hongshawan, Huangyangchuan and Songshan stations in Gansu province, the vertical geoelectric field data of three years observed in the three stations are studied. The results showed that:1)The obvious and stable annual periods of sinusoidal shape were found from vertical geoelectric field data in the three stations, but the value and the phases of an annual variation period are different.2)The impending anomalies before the earthquakes recorded by the vertical geoelectric field from Hongshawan station agreed with the earthquake occurrence in time and space. But whether the anomalies were caused by the earthquakes, a further research is needed.

An estimation method of contamination rate based on entropy was proposed. It is useful for gross error statistic to avoid limited error selection. Two models of data main distribution were suggested to investigate contamination rate and the estimation methods of contamination rate based on entropy were given out. A numerical simulation was performed to analyze the influence of entropy truncation error on data contamination rate estimation. It is less influence for entropy truncation error to contamination rate estimation based on entropy. When truncation error is 0.01, the variation of contamination rate estimate is only 1%. The examples show that the estimation method of contamination rate based on entropy is reliable and superior to the traditional estimation.
In the transformation from national referenceellipsoidcentric coordinate to national geocentric coordinate, the lack of precise geodetic elevation of control points in referenceellipsoidcentric coordinate makes the rectangular space coordinates of control points contain error.

As a result, the method could get better precision than two other methods as well as could reduce workloads in gravity measurement in the fields, the method is suitable for establishing the mean freeair gravity anomalies in difficult conditions.
The paper analyzed the relative calibration and absolute calibration of four component borehole strain observation. By the theorem “sum of vertical components must be equal”, we can only obtain the ratio of site scale value of 3 sensors and the sensor which is as a constant element, but we cannot get site scale value, so it cannot solve relative calibration. By the relationship between tides and component strain observation value, the coupling coefficient can be calculated, but calibration of the elastic parameters cannot solve the problem of the absolute calibration of strain.
