In this study,we developed a high-resolution(3 arcsec,approximately 90 m)V_(S30) map and associated open-access dataset for the 140 km×200 km region affected by the January 2025 M6.8 Dingri Xizang,China earthquak...In this study,we developed a high-resolution(3 arcsec,approximately 90 m)V_(S30) map and associated open-access dataset for the 140 km×200 km region affected by the January 2025 M6.8 Dingri Xizang,China earthquake.This map provides a significantly finer resolution compared to existing V_(S30) maps,which typically use a 30 arcsec grid.The V_(S30) values were estimated using the Cokriging-based V_(S30) proxy model(SCK model),which integrates V_(S30) measurements as primary constraints and utilizes topographic slope as a secondary parameter.The findings indicate that the V_(S30) values range from 200 to 250 m/s in the sedimentary deposit areas near the earthquake’s epicenter and from 400 to 600 m/s in the surrounding mountainous regions.This study showcases the capability of the SCK model to efficiently generate V_(S30) estimations across various spatial resolutions and demonstrates its effectiveness in producing reliable estimations in data-sparse regions.展开更多
