Austin Exploration Inc. can provide the highest level of experience available in the field of gravity and magnetic data interpretation.

Gravity Data Interpretation Overview

For any given subject area the acquired gravity data are compiled and a Bouguer correction applied. The data are plotted on profiles and a full colour shaded relief map is produced.

An appropriate broad filter is selected, to approximate the regional gravity for the area. This is then subtracted from the Bouguer gravity to give Residual or Derivative Gravity Maps. These resulting maps will accentuate the anomalies that are caused by the geologic structure in the vicinity.

The Residual Gravity Map can be used with the density of the sediments to compute the causative structure. The structure can be portrayed on profiles and a map.

Whilst interpreting the gravity profiles and maps; the interpreter will also frequently refer to bathymetry or elevation data, magnetic data, and any available geological information.
