GRACE satellites (the Gravity Recovery And climate Experiment) are very useful sensors to extract gravity anomalies after earthquakes. In this study, we reveal co-seismic signals of the two combined earthquakes, the 2006 Mw8.3 thrust and 2007 Mw8.1 normal fault earthquakes of the central Kuril Islands from GRACE observations. We compute monthly full gravitational gradient tensor in the local north-east-down frame for Kuril Islands earthquakes without spatial averaging and de-striping filters. Some of gravitational gradient components (e.g. ΔVxx, ΔVxz) enhance high frequency components of the earth gravity field and reveal more details in spatial and temporal domain. Therefore, co-seismic activity can be better illustrated. For the first time, we show that the positive-negative-positive co-seismic ΔVxx due to the Kuril Islands earthquakes ranges from − 0.13 to + 0.11 milli Eötvös, and ΔVxz shows a positive-negative-positive pattern ranges from − 0.16 to + 0.13 milli Eötvös, agree well with seismic model predictions.

Based on the data of the relief analysis and the geophysical fields, major submeridional and NW-trending hidden faults are detected in the Priamurye region. The seismic energy calculations are performed for the instrumental observation period given the historical events. The faults showing the highest seismic activity are revealed. The seismic energy released by hidden faults is commensurable with a similar value obtained for the seismoactive faults detected from the geological data.

The data about seasonal variations in the rates of several geophysical fields on the ter-ritory of Tajikistan have been brought and issues about the mutual correlations are discussed. The seasonal variations in plastic deformations of the utmost strained rock model samples, varia-tions in Earth crust deformations on Shaartuz site, seismic activity on the number of earthquakes data in the Dushanbe-Vakhsh area during 2010-2014, pH variations on the thermal mineral water deposit Obigarm have been revealed.
