Abstract: The Wenchuan earthquake coseismic deformation field is inferred from the coseismic dislocation data based on a 3-D geometric model of the active faults in Sichuan-Yunnan region.Then the potential dislocation displacement is inverted from the deformation field in the 3-D geometric model.While the faults’ slip velocities are inverted from GPS and leveling data,which can be used as the long-term slip vector.After the potential dislocation displacements are projected to long-term slip direction,we have got the influence of Wenchuan earthquake on active faults in Sichuan-Yunnan region.The results show that the northwestern segment of Longmenshan fault,the southern segments of Xianshuihe fault,Anninghe fault,Zemuhe fault,northern and southern segments of Daliangshan fault,Mabian fault got earthquake risks advanced of 305,19,12,9.1 and 18,51 years respectively in the eastern part of Sichuan and Yunnan.The Lijiang-Xiaojinhe fault,Nujiang fault,Longling-Lancang fault,Nantinghe fault and Zhongdian fault also got earthquake risks advanced in the western part of Sichuan-Yunnan region.Whereas the northwestern segment of Xianshuihe fault and Xiaojiang fault got earthquake risks reduced after the Wenchuan earthquake.
