the gravimetric method is one of the most effective ways for the detection of subsurface structures such as tunnels, faulting, mineral deposits with the required density difference, especially in areas with rough topography and tectonized formations. it is possible to provide a more suitable model for better interpretation of the gravity anomaly. inverse modeling of gravity data is the most eff...

One of the most important problems in science today is the origin of \dark matter". Much of our understanding of the history and present state of the universe depends upon conjectures about the nature of dark matter. In some sense, our knowledge rests upon a \house of cards" which won't be buttressed until progress is made in identifying what dark matter represents. Most research today is found...

In the course of the satellite mission GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer), dedicated for the exploitation of the Earth's gravity field, with a planned launch in summer 2006, the data processing will be a huge numerical and computational intensive task. In this paper we will describe a direct approach developed and implemented in Graz for the derivation of a model f...

Edge detection and edge enhancement techniques play an essential role in interpreting potential field data. This paper describes the application of various edge detection techniques to gravity data in order to delineate the edges of subsurface structures. The edge detection methods comprise analytic signal, total horizontal derivative (THDR), theta angle, tilt angle, hyperbolic of tilt angle (H...

mapping the edges of magnetized bodies is fundamental to the application of magnetic data to geologic mapping. whether as a guide for subsequent field mapping or as a predictive mapping tool in areas of limited exposure, delineating lateral magnetization changes provides information on not only lithological changes but also on structural regimes and deformation styles and trends. adding contact...

the three-phase-lag model and green–naghdi theory without energy dissipation are employed to study the deformation of a two-temperature fiber-reinforced medium with an internal heat source that is moving with a constant speed under a hydrostatic initial stress and the gravity field.  the modulus of the elasticity is given as a linear function of the reference temperature. the exact expressions ...

a new method derived by salem et al. (2004) for interpretation of gravity and magnetic anomalies is used to determine the depth and shape factor of the gravity anomalies. the depth and shape factor of some rectangular prisms as synthetic models are estimated using the method. the gravity effects of the models are contaminated with some random noise and then the parameters of the models are extr...

Estimating the gravity anomaly causative bodies boundary can facilitate the gravity field interpretation. In this paper, 2D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is employed as a method to delineate the boundary of the gravity anomaly sources. Hence, the GRACE’ satellite gravity data is decomposed using DWT. DWT decomposites a single approximation coefficients into four distinct components: the appr...

We present a model that resolves the gravity field of Mars down to km-scales: Mars Gravity Model 2011 (MGM2011). MGM2011 uses Newtonian forward-modelling and the MOLA (Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter) topography model to estimate the short-scale gravity field (scales of ~3 km to ~125 km). Combined with a reference gravity field and the satellitetracking model MRO110B2, MGM2011 provides surface gra...
