Abstract

This paper deals with an analysis of crustal movement for the sourthern part of Korean peninsula using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) data. An earthquake of more than 5.0 occurred in the southeastern region of the Korean Peninsula, and it is necessary to evaluate the risk of earthquakes in various ways.In order to reveal long-term tectonic movement patten in Pohang and Gyeongju provinces, we derived crustal movement parameters related with elastic theory. We used GAMIT/GLOBK for analyzing seven-year interval GNSS data of CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations). The azimuth of velocity vectors trended generally about 110° with an mean magnitude of 31mm/yr.The main characteristics of the strain change for seven-year in Korea obtaind from our study. Direction of the principal axis of the maximum compression is ENE-WSW as a whole, through there are some exceptions. The mean rate of the maximum shear strain change is (0.11±0.07)μ/yr, that is approximately one third that of Chubu district, Central Japan. Taking into account our results, the mean rate of maximum shear in southern part of Korean peninsula is considered as reasonable. The mean azimuth of principal strain is about (85.4°±26.8°). There are some exceptions of azimuth because the average azimuth differ from the left and right side in Yangsan fault which are about (73.2°±21.5°) and (105.2°±17.0°) respectively, It is noteworthy that the high seismicity areas in the southern part of Korea peninsula almost coincides with the area of large strain rate. As a conclusion, it could be stated that the our study represents the characteristics of crustal deformation in the southern part of peninsula, and contributes to the researches on earthquake disaster management.

본 논문은 GNSS 자료를 이용하여 한반도 동남권 지역의 지각 변동 파라미터에 관한 내용이다. 한반도 동남권 지역에 5.0이상의 지진이 발생하였으며, 여러 가지 방법으로 지진의 위험성에 대하여 평가할 필요성이 있다. 포항과 경주의 장기적인 지각 운동 패턴을 밝히기 위해 탄성 이론을 이용하여 지각변동 파라미터를 도출하였다. CORS의 7년간의 GNSS 데이터를 Gamit/Globk S/W를 사용하여 정밀한 좌표를 취득하였다. 한반도 전체의 속도 벡터는 평균 31mm/yr로 나왔으며 방위각은 일반적으로 110°의 경향을 나타내었다. 연구의 주요 내용은 7년간 한반도 동남권 지역의 주응력의 방향은 몇가지 예외를 제외하면 전체적으로 ENE-WSW으로 나왔다. 최대 전단 변형률의 크기는 평균적으로 (0.11±0.07) μ/yr으로 일본 중부 지역의 약1/3이다. 이번 연구 결과를 고려하면 한반도 남부의 평균 최대전단응력은 타당한 것으로 간주된다. 주응력의 평균 방위각은 약 (85.4°±26.8°)이다. 양산단층을 기준으로 평균 방위각이 좌우 (73.2°±21.5°) 와 (105.2°± 17.0°)로 차이가 난다. 한반도 동남부 지역의 지진 발생 지역이 전단응력이 크게 나온 것은 주목할만 하다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 한반도 동남부 지각 변동 파라미터 특성을 반영하여 지진 재해 관리 연구에 기여할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.
