Abstract: There are several ML4.0 earthquakes occurred in the Gaizhou area, Liaoning province from Feb.2, 2012 to Apr. 30,2013. This earthquake sequence shows a roughly NW-trending distribution. We use eart hquake observation reports recorded by regional seismic stations during the period from 2008 to 2013. Through simul taneous inversion method of ear thquake hypocenters and velocity structure, we got the eart hquake location and velocity structure of Gaizhou and Haicheng area by software Simulps14. The result of earthquake location shows that Gaizhou ear thquake warm occurred in a shallower depth, and over time, to the northwest trending. The Gaizhou's underground velocity structure is similar to Haicheng' s underground velocity structure. We think that the Gaizhou earth-quake swarm occurred in a new and smaller fault similar to the Dayanghe fault.

Key words: Simultaneous inversion, Velocity structure, The Gaizhou earthquake swarm
