Publisher's Synopsis
A reference for exploration geoscientists, the 24 papers include regional tectonic and basin-analysis approaches to gravity and magnetic data as well as play, prospect, and field studies. The papers are supplemented by commentary from diverse members of the gravity and magnetics community. Short features cover additional fundamental aspects.Exploration case histories ranging from classical salt interpretations to state-of-the-art gravity and magnetic gradiometry investigations are brought together in this CD, which was first published as a profusely illustrated 17-×11-inch volume in 1998. Intended as a reference for exploration geoscientists, this collection of 24 papers includes regional tectonic and basin-analysis approaches to gravity and magnetic data as well as play, prospect, and field studies. The geographic scope is worldwide—the Gulf Coast, United Kingdom, West Siberia, off shore East Asia, and more. The technical papers are supplemented by commentary from diverse representatives of the gravity and magnetics community on how to attack exploration problems. Short features cover fundamental aspects of the geologic meaning of gravity and magnetic expressions. Some of these provide historical perspective on the use of the tools. A specialized glossary and annotated bibliography are provided to give the nonspecialist the resources to apply these data at all levels in a modern exploration environment. Copublished with AAPG.
