Gravity gradient is the main physical parameters in gravity measurements,6 components of the gravity gradient contain more information about the earth than usual gravity measurement. The co-seismic space distribution and temporal variation of the gravity gradient are analized acooeding to the results computed with 112 periods GRACE observed during Jan.,2003 and Jan.,2012 for the area of Japan 9.0 earthquake,based on the spherical function formulas of the 6 components of the gravity gradient in earth fixed coordinate. The theory and methods to eliminate singularity of the spherical function formulas of the 6 components of the gravity gradient are discussed. The results show that the component Tλλ,Trr,Tθλ of gravity gradients are consistent with the tectonics in the area. Temporal variation of the 6 components of the gravity gradient in about 1 year before the earthquake appeared anomaly,and the coseismic variation of the 6 components of the gravity gradient are also obvious.
Discrimination between post-seismic effect and earthquake precursor of vertical deformation after large earthquake was analyzed with the regional leveling and fault-crossing leveling data before and after Ms 8.1 earthquake in Qinghai-Xinjiang area and Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake in the northeast margin of Qinghai-Tibet.The results show that: Post-seismic effect was reflected by counterinheritance motion of mountain decreased and basin uplift,it indicates that the tectonic stress field “weak compressing” or “relaxation” before big earthquake;And earthquake precursor of vertical deformation was reflected by inheritance motion of ascending and descending differently,it indicates an intensive trend of tectonic stress field before big earthquake.
An evolution of activity of main faults in Western Yunnan is inversed by use of the genetic algorithms with the repeat gravity datum from 1985 to 2010 based on the original fault model and consideration for crust layering,viscosity and gravitational effect. The results indicate that the faults have characteristics of reciprocating motion, and reflect well preparation process of earthquakes greater than Ms6.0. There are difference and consistency between the tectonic movement of shallow and deep part of Red River Fault Zone, which regulate the conversion relation by strong earthquake preparation and occurrence. The movement of the faults can be divided into several steps: speed up, speed up to peak value, speeddown, speed up again, speeddown again. Earthquakes occur on the last step.

The average acceleration approach does not require any initial information of unknown parameters, and does not need interpolation or differential of orbits, which is more rigorous than pointwise acceleration approach. The parameters of the residual acceleration are unified to solve with coefficients when gravity field modeling by using the average acceleration approach. A gravity field model, which named GOCEAAA01S, is recovered based on GOCE precision orbits of days from 20091101 to 20100131 with the average acceleration approach. The results show that the gravity field model with the best accuracy is recovered by 12order polynomial and the accuracy of the recovered gravity field model will reduced when the order increases or decreases of polynomial. The geoid error of the model GOCEAAA01S is ±6.8 cm with 120order, the accuracy of the model GOCEAAA01S is higher than the model EIGENCHAMP05S with 6 to 120 order, but lower than the model EGM96 with the order over 102, and the precision of zonal coefficients is low due to the polar gap.

The elevation of the Ⅲ terrace(T3) surface of the Yongjiang river around the Nanning basin was analyzed with the Sufur software. According to deformation characteristics, the terraces can be divided into subsidence terraces and erosion terraces. Based on this, a conclusion can be drawn that the deformation of the terrace is because of activation of mantle plume thermal fluid. In the Cenozoic Time, the mantle plume thermal fluid under the Brain upwells and flows eastward, which lead to upper crust getting thinner and creeping eastward with extension, both cause the terrace deforming as an anticline.
