the method expressed by salem and ravat. (2003) for depth estimation of magnetic sources is used on gravity anomalies for the first time. the depth of some rectangular prisms as synthetic models are estimated through the method. the gravity effect of these models is also considered with a relatively high value of random noise. a field example is also included and the depth of the main anomaly h...

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...

[1] Understanding the formation mechanisms of cratonic basins provides an examination of the rheological, compositional and thermal properties of continental cratons. However, these mechanisms are poorly understood because there are few currently active cratonic basins. One cratonic basin thought to be active is the Congo basin located in equatorial Africa. The Congo basin is coincident with a ...

As one of the world’s oldest continents, Australia has experienced a complicated geological history and thus has a distinctive landscape and an extensively weathered topography. As such, the gravity field of Australia behaves differently to that in other countries. This paper investigates the features of the Australian gravity field. The methods used are a simple statistical comparison, Fourier...

The gravity anomaly field over the whole Earth obtained by the GOCE satellite is a revolutionary tool to reveal geologic information on a continental scale for the large areas where conventional gravity measurements have yet to be made. It is, however, necessary to isolate the near-surface geologic signal from the contributions of thickness variations in the crust and lithosphere and the isosta...

As one of the world’s oldest continents, Australia has experienced a complicated geological and geomorphological history. As such, the gravity field of Australia behaves differently to that reported in other countries. This paper investigates the relative roughness of three types of gravity anomaly (freeair, refined Bouguer and topographic-isostatic) using statistical and graphical comparisons,...

We give a review of some recent developments in the quantisation of W-gravity theories. In particular, we discuss the construction of anomaly-free W ∞ and W 3 gravities.

Recently, the new Goddard Mars Model 2B was released for general use, which provides the most accurate model of the Martian gravity field to date: up to order and degree 80. This paper presents a brief study of the gravity anomalies associated with the Apollinaris Patera area on Mars (an ancient volcanic structure), with an emphasis on the ways in which different filtering techniques in the sph...

In this Letter, we address the question of whether conformal invariance can be considered as a global symmetry theory fundamental interactions. To describe Nature, must contain mechanism spontaneous breaking scale symmetry. Besides that, include gravity, whereas all known extensions to curved space-time suffer from Weyl anomaly. We show that made free quantum anomaly only in flat space. The pre...

We detect, for the first time, a negative free-air gravity anomaly of 23 mGal amplitude over a region in the South Atlantic Ocean centered at 48◦W and 35◦S. To this end, we used the integration of conventional shipborne gravity data and gravity data derived from GEOSAT/ERM satellite altimetry. The north bound of this anomaly coincides with the Chuı́ Lineament and the south bound indicates anothe...
