    Since the late Quaternary, there is still some controversy about the change of the incised rate of the river system in the mainland and its driving factors. In this study, the Yihehusitai River terrace in the southern foothills of the Alataoshan in the northern part of Bole was taken as the research object. Through field geological and geomorphological surveys and high-precision geomorphological measurements by drones, six terraces were identified in the valley. The age sequence of the terraces at all levels was obtained by using the method of OSL dating. The results show that since the late Quaternary, the incised rate of the Yihehusitai River has fluctuated significantly. During the late Pleistocene, the incised rate was 0.64~0.87 mm/a, which was significantly greater than the vertical uplift rate of 0.43 mm/a of the fault, indicating that long-term tectonic movement and climate change played an important role in river incising. The undercutting rate of the T3 terrace is equal to the vertical sliding rate of the fault, indicating that the river undercutting during the T3 terrace is controlled by tectonic movement. Since the late Holocene, the river incision rate has increased to 3~4 mm/a. The rapid increase of river incision rate since the late Holocene is due to the rapid fluctuation and oscillation of climate.

    In order to study the motion characteristics of the Zhangbo Belt and the constraints affecting its motion, the GNSS data of North China and its adjacent areas are collected and collated. Under the unified space-time datum, the method of calculating the conversion parameters by common points is used to realize the unification of the data reference datum, so that the velocity fields of different datums are converted to the same reference frame, and the GNSS velocity field calculated by the stable Eurasian reference frame is used uniformly. In this study, the velocity field excluding the influence of the 3.11 earthquake in Japan is used to further calculate the strain field in North China and determine the basic characteristics of the strain field in North China. The best block model of North China and its adjacent areas is established, and the theoretical velocity field of North China block and its boundary is analyzed. Combined with the velocity field without ‘rigid’ conversion and the strain field in North China, the comprehensive analysis shows that the theoretical velocity field of Zhangbo zone is 1.5 mm·a-1.In the eastern section of Zhangbo zone, the velocity field in Tangshan area is quite different from that on both sides, and the strain field gradually decreases from Tangshan to both sides, and the main strain coincides with the NE-trending fault, indicating that the difference of velocity field in the eastern section of Zhangbo zone may be related to the NE-trending fault activity in this area.

    GNSS coordinate time series is the key data for crustal deformation monitoring and seismic research, but its accuracy is seriously disturbed by complex noises such as multipath and atmospheric delay. Noise reduction processing has become a necessary prerequisite for high-precision applications. In recent years, noise reduction methods have developed from traditional empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and wavelet transform to variational mode decomposition (VMD), local mean decomposition (LMD), empirical wavelet transform (EWT) and other adaptive methods, and combined with particle swarm optimization, singular spectrum analysis (SSA), independent component analysis (ICA) and other algorithms to form a variety of hybrid strategies. The principles, advantages and limitations of the above methods are systematically sorted out. Through three typical application cases of post-earthquake deformation monitoring, multipath correction and long-term trend extraction, the performance differences of different methods in actual scenarios are compared and analyzed, and then a comprehensive selection strategy based on accuracy, noise type and efficiency is proposed. Studies have shown that existing methods still face challenges such as different evaluation criteria, insufficient real-time processing capabilities, and poor adaptability to special geographical environments. In the future, we should focus on the development of end-to-end noise reduction driven by deep learning, joint filtering under the constraint of multi-source data fusion, and intelligent automatic processing platform to further improve the availability and reliability of GNSS time series.

    After years of development, GNSS observation technology has been widely recognized and applied in the fields of crustal deformation, geodesy, earthquake prediction and analysis. Based on the GNSS continuous observation station data of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Seismological Bureau, this study comprehensively evaluates the data efficiency, signal-to-noise ratio, multipath effect, cycle slip ratio and other indicators, analyzes the factors that may affect the data quality, so as to improve the construction plan, and provide technical support for the data quality improvement and daily operation and maintenance of GNSS observation stations in the future. The results show that the data quality of Xinjiang GNSS continuous observation station is good, and the observation results meet the requirements of the discipline. The quality of single Beidou (BDS) GNSS data is generally better than that of co-site observation (GPS+BDS).

    Employing electromagnetic anomaly extraction methods, including DC apparent resistivity, geomagnetic daily ratio, and geomagnetic low-point displacement, this study systematically analyzes the multi-method electromagnetic anomalies observed near the epicenter prior to Kuche MS5.0 earthquake on February 5, 2025. The results indicate that an annual variation distortion anomaly in DC apparent resistivity was recorded at the Korla station, located approximately 194 km from the epicenter; A geomagnetic daily ratio anomaly emerged 85 days before the earthquake, with the mainshock occurring precisely at the sharp intersection of the daily ratio threshold line within the predicted area; A geomagnetic low-point displacement anomaly, predominantly distributed in a near-NNW direction, appeared across the Xinjiang region 28 days prior to the event. The earthquake was situated near the mutation boundary of this low-point displacement, and the dominant time window for earthquake occurrence was 27±4 days; Spatially, the epicenter is located within the concentrated anomaly prediction zones identified by the Korla DC apparent resistivity, geomagnetic daily ratio, and geomagnetic low-point displacement methods. Temporally, the anomalies exhibit a clear evolutionary progression from medium-term to short-term and imminent-term precursors. These findings provide valuable references for future seismic monitoring and tracking in this region.

    Based on the integrated georesistivity and geomagnetic observation system at the Wenquan New Station in Xinjiang, this study systematically analyzes the interference characteristics of direct-current georesistivity observations on geomagnetic records by designing multi-current gradient experiments. The results indicate that the interference manifests as square-wave pulses in the time domain, synchronized with the power supply cycle, while its frequency-domain energy is concentrated at the fundamental frequency (0.04 Hz) and its harmonics. The interference amplitude (ΔB) exhibits a strict linear positive correlation with the supply current (I) within the range of 0.3~2.5 A (R2>0.999). Furthermore, the interference field demonstrates significant vector characteristics, primarily affecting the vertical component (Z) and total field intensity (F), while having a negligible impact on the horizontal component (H) and declination (D). The linear relationship between interference amplitude and current can be precisely quantified using the current-magnetic field conversion coefficient k, which holds potential for future instrument status monitoring and data consistency correction.

    As a special product of geological tectonic activity, the eruption process of mud volcano not only reveals the migration characteristics of underground fluid, but also provides important clues for regional tectonic stress changes and seismic activity. In this study, the mud volcanoes in Aiqigou and Baiyanggou were taken as the research objects, and the earthquakes with MS≥5.0 in the range of 300 km were selected by the combination of macro and micro methods. The correlation between mud volcano eruption activity, gas geochemical characteristics and seismic activity was systematically analyzed, and the R value test was carried out. The results show that when the mud volcano eruption activity is enhanced and the radon content is synchronized with the high value, the corresponding rate of subsequent earthquakes is 55.6%. When the monthly flow observation of CO2 and CH4 gas content in the mud volcano showed a continuous upward trend, the R value test was passed. These indicators have certain indicative significance for earthquake prediction and can provide scientific basis for regional earthquake prediction.

    Taking Tianquan and Mingmuquan springs in Wenquan County, Bozhou, Xinjiang as the research objects, based on the hydrochemical dynamic monitoring data from March 2024 to April 2025, this study comprehensively utilizes methods such as Piper three-line diagram, Gibbs model, and isotopic analysis to explore the hydrochemical characteristics of tectonic fissure springs and their earthquake precursor indicative significance. The results indicate that the hydrochemical types of the two springs are Na-SO4·HCO3; the water-rock interaction is in dynamic equilibrium; the hydrochemical components are mainly controlled by the leaching of silicate minerals; and the hydrogen and oxygen isotopic characteristics reveal the mixed recharge process of atmospheric precipitation and deep tectonic water. The study captured the synchronous increase in Na+ and Cl- concentrations before Chabuchaer MS4.2 earthquake in January 2025, confirming the sensitivity of the hydrochemical components in this area to tectonic stress disturbances. This study provides important hydrogeochemical empirical evidence for identifying earthquake precursors using groundwater chemistry methods in tectonically active areas.

    Dynamic anomalous changes in subsurface fluid composition are one of the important indicators for identifying seismic precursor signals, and their temporal evolution characteristics can provide observational evidence for capturing short-term and imminent earthquake precursors. Traditional laboratory-based detection methods are inefficient and difficult to meet the requirements of rapid post-earthquake response. In this study, a 30-day comparative test was conducted using the Agilent 990 portable gas chromatograph at Spring 04 and Spring 10 in Urumqi, Xinjiang. The results show that the detection results of the instrument for major components such as CH4 and CO2 are in good agreement with those obtained by the benchtop gas chromatograph, with the mean relative error controlled within 5.5%, and the single analysis time shortened to within 10 min. Although limitations remain in trace hydrogen detection, the instrument shows good applicability in major gas component detection, analytical efficiency, and field application, providing experimental evidence for extending seismic emergency fluid monitoring from “sample-and-send laboratory analysis” to “on-site rapid analysis”.

    In order to solve the problem of insufficient reliability of terminal estimated intensity, based on the point source attenuation model, a comprehensive improvement method of introducing regional correction coefficient k is proposed. The accuracy of estimation is improved by source distance calculation, intensity attenuation model correction and regional parameter optimization. The response data of the special terminal for earthquake early warning in Xinjiang since December 2023 were collected, and the instrument intensity was compared and analyzed. The least square method was used to fit and optimize, and the regional correction coefficient k=0.95 was calculated. The verification results show that the average absolute error of the estimated intensity after correction is reduced from 1.6 degrees to 1.0 degrees, and the root mean square error is reduced from 1.5 degrees to 1.0 degrees, which significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of the estimated intensity of the special terminal for earthquake early warning in Xinjiang. This study provides a technical reference for the optimization of regional earthquake early warning parameters.

    To enable earthquake analysis and forecasting personnel to extract anomalous information from observational data quickly and accurately, this study, based on the R language platform, employs methods such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Pertesv’s filtering, and factor decomposition in time series analysis. Specific measures include writing program code to analyze various frequency bands in geophysical observational data, extracting diurnal waves, semi-diurnal waves, seasonal factors, trend variations, and residual random components, and outputting the processed data. The results show that the program can effectively separate components of different frequency bands and identify typical periodic signals and anomalous features. Currently, deformation anomaly analysis in earthquake consultations mainly relies on plotting graphs using EIS2000 and manual interpretation, which suffers from low automation. This study provides data analysts with a convenient and scientific processing tool, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of earthquake precursor information extraction.

    Taking the network architectures of Bole Earthquake Monitoring Central Station, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Earthquake Agency before and after the implementation of the Catastrophe Prevention Project as the research object, this paper systematically analyzes the differences before and after the network structure optimization. The original network adopted a bus topology, which carried the risk of single point of failure. Meanwhile, it was plagued by outdated hardware, insufficient security protection, inadequate operation and maintenance audit, failing to meet the requirements for high-speed and stable transmission of earthquake monitoring data. Through a series of optimization measures including equipment upgrading, IRF stacking of core switches, series deployment of firewalls, and introduction of bastion hosts for operation audit, the network achieves high reliability, high security and intelligent operation and maintenance. After the network optimization and reconstruction, data transmission efficiency, management efficiency and system stability have all been greatly improved, which can provide solid technical support for the development of earthquake monitoring work.
