Résumé : |
The seismic activity in Northeastern Algeria is characterized by the occurrence of swarms, often without
a mainshock, or classic sequences comprising a mainshock followed by aftershocks. These seismic
events exhibit strong temporal and spatial concentrations in both cases, lasting from days to months and
spanning distances ranging from a few to tens of kilometers. Occasionally, these activities demonstrate a
migration pattern over several kilometers across several weeks. While the advent of various seismological
methodologies at CRAAG has enhanced seismic studies in Algeria, there remains a notable absence
of detailed statistical analysis to characterize and categorize seismic sequences according to their spatiotemporal
patterns and physical processes. This thesis aims to address this gap by employing robust statistical
models to characterize earthquake sequences, focusing on quantifying their spatio-temporal patterns.
It embarks on a comprehensive exploration of spatio-temporal pattern modeling, elucidating both mathematical
and physical characteristics. Key aspects covered include determining magnitude completeness
(mc), understanding magnitude distribution using the Gutenberg-Richter model, and examining spatiotemporal
models like the Omori-Utsu law and the ETAS (Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence) model.
Additionally, it highlights physical models such as Rate-and-state friction, Coulomb failure, and time
dependent stress rate. The thesis also scrutinizes various statistical analysis approaches, exploring the effects
of declustering on parameter estimation and the influence of misestimating completeness magnitude
on ETAS parameters. It further investigates techniques for achieving unbiased parameter estimation and
explores the impact of disregarding aseismic forcing transients. Moreover, it compares the isotropic and
anisotropic spatial distribution of aftershocks, shedding light on the complexities of seismic activity. Another
significant aspect of the study is the detection and characterization of earthquake swarms, utilizing
spatio-temporal ETAS models and moment release time series analysis. Employing two methodologies
to identify swarm-like behavior, the research considers the tectonic and geological characteristics of the
area, offering valuable insights into the nature of seismic swarms. Special emphasis is placed on the
Beni-Ilmane earthquake sequence, one of the most important seismic events in Northeastern Algeria, in
terms of the number of earthquakes produced and studies conducted. Through the application of statistical
tests, the research endeavors to understand the underlying mechanisms driving the heightened
seismicity observed in this sequence, drawing comparisons with previous physical and geological studies.
In conclusion, this thesis significantly contributes to the understanding of seismicity in Northeastern
Algeria. The analyses conducted provide insights into the spatio-temporal characteristics of earthquakes,
crucial for predicting and managing seismic risks in the region. The comprehensive categorization of
seismic sequences enhances targeted mitigation strategies, making a valuable contribution to the field of
seismic research and facilitating informed decision-making for earthquake-prone regions. |
