Interpretation of Combined Geophysics. Application of Gravimetry and Magnetometry in Geological Models
About
About the course
Course content
Application of gravity and magnetic data applied in geological interpretation. Forward model calculations using geological models as input, with constraints taken from seismic data and petrophysical data. Euler 3D deconvolution of potential field data to estimate geometry of intrasedimentary (volcanic) and basement sources. Application of different filtering techniques. Calculation of isostatic anomalies.
Learning outcome
Theoretical and practical knowledge that can be used in interpretation of gravity andmagnetic data to improve geological models and tectonic concepts. Produce geological and tectonic models along profiles and interpretation maps.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures. Selfstudies of "case histories". Practical exercises using PC-software in order to filter data and run model calculations.
