Seismology, GPS, and Neotectonics: The Present-Day Plate Boundaries in Northeast Asia Kazuya Fujita Department of Geological Sciences Michigan State University Mikhail Kogan Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Colombia University Jeffrey Park Department of Geology and Geophysics Yale University North America – EurasiaBoundary in Asia Poorly Known Seismicity of Eastern Russia Focal Mechanism Studies Representative mechanisms determined CMTs, surface wave, and synthetic seismogram studies are “best” P-wave mechanisms for events M 5.2 are unreliable unless there is well-distributed regional data Small number of reliable mechanisms in Chersky Range Reliable Focal Mechanisms Focal Mechanism Summary Okhotsk Plate Chersky Range Active Faults River Offsets: 4 – 28 km How Does Okhotsk-North America Boundary Cross Northern Sea of Okhotsk? North America – Eurasia Pole(from seismology and GPS) Chukotka Seismicity Bering Block Crustal Structure:Travel-Time Data Crustal Structure:Travel-Time Studies Seismic Reflection:Laptev Sea Rifts Crustal Structure: Magadan DistrictSeismic Refraction and Reflection Magadan-Wrangel reflection line Major Questions – Seismology, Neotectonics, and Geodesy How does plate boundary step around pole of rotation? How is crustal shortening accommodated in northeast Russia as Arctic Ocean opens? Does an Okhotsk plate exist? If so, where are the northwestern and northeastern boundaries of the plate Is it extruding? Questions (continued) How is strain partitioned in the Magadan district What is the nature of the seismicity in eastern Chukotka Does a Bering block exist? What is the crustal structure in northeast Russia – how does this reflect its history? What is/was the nature of the Moma rift? * * * * Kevin Mackey NORTH AMERICA PACIFIC EURASIA Traditional interpretation Improved Seismicity Database (But beware of explosion sources) Mackey et al., 2004 NA BE OK EU AM PA MAJOR PLATES NA = North America EU = Eurasia PA = Pacific MICROPLA
