Earthquake Research Bureau

Earthquake Research Bureau

The Earthquake Research Bureau is responsible for analyzing the recorded at seismic stations seismic records, determining their kinematic and dynamic parameters.

After a strong earthquake on the Caspian Sea (Baku) (Mlh=6.2), on November 25, 2000, at the disposal of the national leader Heydar Aliyev, to provide a network of seismic monitoring with the most modern devices in Azerbaijan US Kinemetrics company transferred 14 sets for RSSC ANAS: satellite telecommunication system, digital telemetric seismic station, and since 2003 the monitoring network has started its work.

On the instructions of the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, in 2009, the network of seismic observations acquired a new software system of two Apple computers and another 7 sets of seismic stations Kinemetrics (USA).

In order to improve the network of seismological observations and scientific research in the field of seismology, in 2009-2010, 11 more stations were installed at Kinemetrics (Astara, Zardab, Kedabek, Khinalig, Altyagach, Kurdamir, Lerik, Zakatala , Mingechevir , Gazakh, Saatly ). In 2011, the RSSC installed and commissioned more than 6 telemetric seismic stations (Gobustan, Gabala, Gusar, Ordubad, Shakhbuz, Heydarabad) and, thus, the number of seismic stations reached 31.

In 2013, the RSSC installed and commissioned four more telemetric seismic stations (Agdam, Fizuli, Yardimly, Beylagan), and thus the number of seismic stations reached 35.

Seismic stations were selected on the basis of seismicity of certain regions of the territory of Azerbaijan.

Macroseismic studies are one of the main parts of seismological research, and are based on a study of earthquakes effects on the surface of the earth. These studies provide an opportunity to define the contours of sections with different estimates of the intensities, to express an opinion about the parameters of the earthquake and the structure of surrounding. Macroseismic studies are particularly important in the engineering and seismological studies and microseismic zoning.

Processing of materials collected from macroseismic observations are carried out on the basis of an assessment of the seismic effect on both quantitative and qualitative methods.

Performing macroseismic studies consist of definition of earthquakes` macroseismic intensity.

To characterize the strength of the earthquake on the MSK-64 scale different signs are used: the extent of damage of buildings and structures, residual deformations in the soil, ground water regime changes, perceptibility concussion and etc.

Macroseismic concussion analysis of the material makes it possible to estimate the intensity on a scale. As a result, constructed a schematic map of isolines is build and it reflects the geographical distribution of macroseismic implications. Subsequently, the results of macroseismic studies to determine the source parameters: its coordinates, depth, magnitude, direction, length, geometric parameters.

To achieve the desired volume and density of macroseismic studies you need to use three main methods of macroseismic studies:

- Survey on the spot (with J ≥ VI);

- Conducting a survey (with little perceptible earthquakes);

- Distribution of questionnaires (in II ≤ J ≤ VI).

The plan of the macroseismic department consists of the following work:

1. Analysis of macroseismic area and source parameters of historical earthquakes in Azerbaijan.

2. Conducting visual observations on the buildings and terrain to assess the effects of earthquakes, conducting public surveys.

3. Defining the parameters of the earthquake.

4. Construction of graphs, tables, diagrams and maps.

5. Periodic publication of scientific articles.

6. Preparation of annual reports.

International Seismotomography Laboratory

International Seismotomography Laboratory

In 2017, the International Seismotomography Laboratory was created at the Republican Seismic Survey Center of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (RSSC ANAS), operating in the Livermore National Laboratory of the United States and the Missouri University of Science and Technology.

The Republican Seismic Survey Center at the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (RSSC ANAS), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the USA and Missouri University of Science and Technology, in 2014-2017 as part of the existing International Seismotomography Laboratory, July 16 - August 12, 2016 at the Seismological laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley, based on noise data and August 16 - September 10, 2016 based on earthquake data from the Missouri University of Science and Technology was studied the seismic tomographic method.

Geophysical studies include the analysis of seismoanomalous effects in variations of geomagnetic field intensity, non-tidal variations in gravity, and geodynamic studies.

Structure:

Geophysical studies are conducted on the basis of the following departments:

1. Department of Magnetometry

2. Department of Gravimetry

3. Department of Geodynamics

4 Department of Processing and Interpretation of Geophysical Materials

5. Department of technical control of geophysical equipment

Seismo-magnetometric studies to identify the seismomagnetic (tectonic-magnetic) effect and assess the stress-strain state of the geological environment of seismogenic zones are conducted in two directions:

1. Monitoring of geomagnetic field intensity variations for the purpose of revealing the seismomagnetic effect and characteristic features of its manifestation;

2. Monitoring of spatiotemporal increments in the gradient of the geomagnetic field intensity with the aim of delineating the zones of the stress-strain state as areas of possible sources of perceptible and strong earthquakes.

Magnetometric work is carried out on the basis of the most modern equipment-proton magnetometers G-856 AX produced by "Geometrics" (USA) with the software "Maqus".

These works are carried out at Sheki-Shamakhi and Kura-Talysh prognostic poligons of Azerbaijan.

The Shaki-Shamakhi polygon is equipped with 7 stationary MBC magnetorization stations based on the G-856 and 63 geophysical reference meters of the monthly visit.

Kura-Talysh polygon is equipped with two stationary MBC stations based on G-856 magnetometers and 30 reference points of a monthly survey.

The practice of the last 30 years of seismic-prognostic research has made it possible to create an electronic data bank at RSSC ANAS, including a continuous series of variations in the field strength Т῀ƒ (t) and all seismo-anomalous manifestations in the Earth's geomagnetic field intensity.

Comprehensive geochemical investigations department began its activity in 1979 and till now carries out in Azerbaijan annual seismic fluid dynamic (SFD) survey. These works are carried out by stationary seismic geochemical (SGC) and seismic hydro geodynamic (SHGD) methods. Held SFD monitoring of 26 monitoring areas (ground and sea water, radioactive gas (radon), as well as local ground). The purpose of SFD research is: a) the detection of signs of strong earthquakes; b) rapid assessment of seismic situation on the basis of short-term anomalies in SFD field.

Is studying the complex investigation of manifestation structure of the seism abnormal effects in the geochemical areas the abnormal areas. In the seismoactice zones of the territory is being investigated the hidro-qas and radioactivity components of the geochemical areas. These works enables to valuate the self strength position of the of the seismic zones and to reveal the abnormal predictable effects before M3 4.0 earthquake.

Geodinamic department

Remote sensing of the Earth from space is an innovative scientific and methodological basis of knowledge of the structure and geodynamics of the Earth\'s crust. Thanks to modern satellite technology has become a real speedy and high-precision geo-information to the regional geological studies, the search for mineral deposits , monitoring and mapping of the state space of the upper part of the lithosphere in technogenesis.

The most important element in creating geodynamic models is the component that takes into account the changes occurring on the surface of the Earth under influence of modern movements of the earth \'s crust. In many ways, they define activity of many destructive natural phenomena and affect the course of exogenous processes, including those caused by human activities. For the prediction of adverse geodynamic processes requires not only knowledge about the course of the trials themselves, concentrated in appropriate models, but also the corresponding definition in the initial states of the rock mass, which, of course, based on the collection of experimental data.

The most effective way to obtain experimental data - a comprehensive geomechanical monitoring of the Earth\'s near-surface strata on the basis of geodynamic testing. Polygons are organized in places manifestations of the most active units of displacement . To obtain spatial data created geodesic network, monitoring work in this case based on the repeated observation angles and distances between the nodes of the network. In this context, one of the main tasks of observations on the geodynamic polygons - capture the motion of individual structural units and, above all, their horizontal mixing each other especially at the boundaries, ie, in areas of identified faults.

One of the methods that have received is now widespread in the world , is a method based on the technologies of global navigation satellite systems ( GNSS). With the advent of GPS- technology, which is the first of the implemented GNSS technologies, the opportunity to implement a high-precision (3-10 mm in all dimensions) of geodetic monitoring vast areas at relatively low cost of funds and time.

For monitoring changes in the earth\'s surface caused geodynamic processes, for many years successfully as indicated above apply GPS- equipment. Precision GPS- measurements are carried out virtually all lines on the basis of the differential method using a so -called GPS- base station (this method is called by the relative kinematics ). In this case, at the time of measurement one satellite receiver (base station) is always in a known location, and the other - moving, fixing the position of recordable points.

Thus, in 2012 the Republican Center of Seismic Service with ANAS department was created, \" Geodynamics \" under the direction of PhD Kazimov I.E.

On the territory were established 24 GPS stations (Trimble). For the first time the world\'s first GPS station was installed at a depth of 8324 meters in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Saatly region

Given the geomorphology, geotectonic, given the topography and the influence of external factors in the various regions of the country have been chosen place for the construction of new GPS stations. This new monitoring system consists of the 21st GPS stations of the company «Trimble» ( USA) and one central station in Baku, where the mode «online» receives all the data from all the regions where they were installed stations ( Fig. 1, 2 3 ).

On the territory were established 24 GPS stations (Trimble). For the first time the world\'s first GPS station was installed at a depth of 8324 meters in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Saatly region.

During an earthquake, trembling cause in people, the fear, nervousness and creates pressure. Thus, for the first time of earthquakes, people should try to be quiet and constrained.

Following rules are necessary for observing to protect yourself during earthquake.

1. If you feel, building or ground trembling, do not react nervously (Shouts of fear which can affect actions, psychology of other people etc.)
2. If you indoors lay down under a table or a bed. If doors are opened, stand under a doorway or in a corner inside a room. Do not forget that at jolting first of all burst and break external walls of buildings. Therefore to run or hide under a window is forbidden.
3. During earthquake is forbidden to stand near to large things (A refrigerator, furniture etc.). These things can fall on you.
4. During earthquake is forbidden to run out from a building or to leave on a ladder. It is dangerous! Ladders can collapse.
5. If you live in a high-rise building, during earthquake do not run to the lift or ladders. Stand under a doorway or in a corner inside a room and wait, until the shaking stops.
6. During earthquake do not jump out of windows. It can lead to injuries and heavy damages.
7. During earthquake if you in a public place, do not run to crowd, find a safe place. If it is possible, hide children in a safe place.
8. During earthquake if you are near to a high-rise building, do not run to it.
9. During earthquake if you are in the car, do not stop on the bridge or near a high-rise building.
10. During earthquake if you are, in a two-storied brick building or in a building with the weak base try to leave this building immediately.
11. Do not forget during an earthquake you may feel some aftershocks. So try not to lose self-control till the end of aftershocks.
12. The earthquake lasts seconds. After trembling pay attention to receptions of injuries at yourself and at associates. If there are injuries, render the first medical aid.
13. Earthquake can occur at any time, therefore in advance find safe places from the house and a building where do you live.
14. Find a safe place at home in advance, (corners, doors, etc.) and keep this in mind in a furniture arrangement.
15. At uselessness switch -off gas, an electricity and water in apartment.
16. If possible, do not hold heavy items on the shelves, and fix to the walls a bookshelves.
17. For first-aid, keep in readiness a bag with the necessary medicines.
18. Arrange a bed far away from heavy furniture and large windows.
19. By a call of the help in emergency situations, write down in advance all telephone numbers of state structures in a notebook.

Starting from the earlier years of the human history generally to evaluate the intensity of the earthquakes is used to observe them according their effects to the environment (destruction, damages)

But generally, in these comparison there were many subjective factors based on the human feelings.

The strength of the earthquakes is changing according to its distance. In XİX century there were attempts to classify earthquakes according to their damages to our lives, geological environment and etc. At the end of that century there was widely spread the Rossi- Forel (RF) earthquake intensity scale. In these scale the earthquakes intensity is divided to ten points.

In 1902 in Italy by the Juzeppe Merkali has been adopted the scale of 12 points. In 1931 the American scientists Q. Vud. And F. Nyumen and in 1956 the Richter has made a few changes in that scale. And now this scale is called modified Merkalli and Richter scale (MMI)

From the 1964 the in Europe and in Ex Soviet Union where Azerbaijan was one of the members has been accepted the 12 unit European MSK Scale. The name of the scale was composed from the capital letter of its founders. S.V. Medvedev (USSR) V. SHponkhoyer, (GDR) and Karnik. (Chekoslovakia) There is an additional 12 points European Macroseismic (EMS) scale except MMI And MSK scales. And also there is a scale of Japanese Meterological Agency (JMA) with 7 unit scale is existing.

The following 12 points seismic intensity scale is given above.
