Estimation of sedimentary cover thickness by using spectral analysis of gravity anomalies
Keywords:
Gravity anomaly, Power spectrum, Fast Fourier transformAbstract
In this paper, power spectrum analysis has been used for estimating the depth of geological interfaces. The computer code was tested for synthetic models and implemented to gravity survey data to estimate the thickness of sedimentary cover of several Meso-cenozoic basins of Mongolia. The depth estimation results of the basins’ sedimentary cover were in good agreement with other prior geological and geophysical interpretation results of the study areas.
