В работе представлены результаты исследования сейсмического процесса в районе Восточно-Анатолийского разлома (ВАРЗ), где в феврале 2023 г. произошли два катастрофических землетрясения (дуплет).</p></sec><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Выявление особенностей сейсмического процесса, которые могли бы указывать на связь (или ее отсутствие) между двумя землетрясениями из дуплета, а также свидетельствующие о наличии каких-либо прогнозных признаков перед сейсмическими событиями (средне- или краткосрочными).</p></sec><sec><title>Методы</title><p>Методы. Анализ графиков сейсмической активности, построенных методом суммирования периодов между землетрясениями на основе локального сейсмического каталога.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Построены графики активности для шести областей с центром в эпицентре первого землетрясения. Выделены характерные периоды с постоянной скоростью сейсмического процесса и точки перехода. Обнаружены локальные активизации в 2012 и 2022 гг., которые приурочены к эпицентрам дуплета и являются доминирующими для ВАРЗ в целом (на протяжении как минимум 300 км). Все активизации были приурочены к одной и той же зоне немного восточнее эпицентра февральского землетрясения. Показано, что эти активизации не соответствуют стандартной схеме работы сейсмического очага, т. е. не имеют однозначно определяемого главного события и характерного афтершокового процесса.</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы. Локальная активизация 2012 г., судя по распределению эпицентров землетрясений, вероятно, является начальным этапом развития процесса, который получил продолжение в 2022 г. Скачкообразный процесс активности в 2022 г. закончился за 40 дней до дуплета землетрясения и может быть рассмотрен в качестве краткосрочного прогнозного признака. Главными характеристиками такой краткосрочной аномалии в сейсмической активности выступают сокращение длительности каждой последующей активизации и уменьшение времени между ними.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Research subject</title><p>Research subject. The seismic process in the area of the East Anatolian Fault (EAF), where two catastrophic earthquakes (doublet) occurred in February 2023.</p></sec><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. Identification of specific features of the seismic process, which might indicate a connection (or a lack thereof) between the two earthquakes from the doublet, as well as the presence of any predictive signs before seismic events (medium- or short-term).</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. An analysis of seismic activity graphs constructed by summing periods between earthquakes based on a local seismic catalog.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. Activity graphs were plotted for six regions at the epicenter of the first earthquake. Characteristic periods with a constant velocity of the seismic process and transition points were established. Local activations were detected in 2012 and 2022, which are confined to the epicenters of the doublet and are dominant for the EAF as a whole (for at least 300 km). All activations were timed to the same area slightly east of the epicenter of the February earthquake. It is shown that these activations do not correspond to the standard scheme of operation of a seismic center, i.e., they do not have an unambiguously determined main event and a characteristic aftershock process.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>Conclusions. According to the distribution of earthquake epicenters, the local activation of 2012 was probably the initial stage in the development of the process, which was continued in 2022. The abrupt process of activity in 2022 ended 40 days prior to the earthquake doublet, and can be considered as a short-term predictive sign. The main characteristics of such a short-term anomaly in seismic activity are a reduction in the duration of each subsequent activation and a decrease in the time between them.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>землетрясение</kwd><kwd>сейсмическая активность</kwd><kwd>метод накопления сейсмических событий</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>earthquake</kwd><kwd>seismic activity</kwd><kwd>method of accumulation of seismic events</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа проведена в рамках выполнения государственного задания Института морской геологии и геофизики ДВО РАН.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The work was carried out within the framework of the state assignment of the Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Закупин А.С., Сычева Н.А.
