Abstract

Gravity data analysis and interpretation are based, among others, on their spatial variation represented by horizontal and vertical gradients. The gradient or derivative of a gravity field can be calculated either in the spatial domain or the wave-number domain. Historically, the second vertical derivative (SVD) of gravity data can be used to delineate the boundaries of anomalous sources. This paper addresses inappropriate use of the SVD of gravity data, with reference to current practices in Indonesia. The SVD’s relative magnitude along a profile is widely used to define whether a density contrast and its dipping orientation correspond to a normal or reverse fault, which may be geologically incorrect. Furthermore, the SVD is calculated by approximation using the horizontal derivative, which may be erroneous especially with poorly distributed data and anomalous 3D sources. We exemplify our analysis with synthetic data and propose a more appropriate spectral-based analysis using field data.

Abstract

In conventional controlled-source audio-magnetotelluric (CSAMT) prospecting, scalar CSAMT measurement is usually performed because of its simplicity and low operational cost. Since the structure of earth's conductivity is complex, the scalar CSAMT method can lead to a less accurate interpretation. The complex conditions need more sophisticated measurements, such as vector or tensor CSAMT, to interpret the data. This paper presents 1D vector CSAMT interpretation. A full solution 1D CSAMT forward modeling has been developed and used to interpret both vector and scalar CSAMT data. Occam's smoothness constrained inversion was used to test the vector and scalar CSAMT interpretations. The results indicate the importance of vector CSAMT to interpret CSAMT data in complex geological system.
