The problem of downward continuation of potential fields is
being considered. The basic approach involves computation in real
space using a power series expansion. The computation of the derivatives
required for evaluating the series is carried out on the basis of
two approximation methods, viz. (1) polynomial method, and
(2)...
To assist in the assessment of the geothermal potential of north-central
California and to aid in defining the geologic transitions
between the physiographic provinces of the Klamath Range, the Cascade
Range, the Modoc Plateau, the Great Valley, and the Sierra Nevada
Range, personnel from the Geophysics Group in the College...
Marine magnetic data from the northern Yucatan continental margin were used to
obtain the radially-averaged power-density spectra (RAPDS) of 34 grids, each with
dimensions of 128 by 128 km, overlapping 50 percent. Depths to the tops of three
magnetic horizons were estimated from the slopes of linear segments in the...
The continental margin off the coast of Pakistan between the
Murray ridge and the Gulf of Cambay has been studied in this
work using gravity, magnetic and bathymetric data. Two dimensional
gravity and magnetic models based on free-air
gravity and residual magnetic data are developed along a north-south
profile off...
Geophysical surveys in the Gulf of California provided
the data to construct contour maps of bathymetry, free-air
anomalies and total field magnetic anomalies for the area
north of 27° N. Major faults such as the Ballenas-
Salsipuedes, Tiburón, Guaymas, and the South Cerro Prieto
are clearly observable on these maps....
Anomaly timescales for the last 90 million years, derived from
marine magnetic profiles and published prior to mid-1979, are summarized,
illustrated for comparison, and critically reviewed. A revised timescale
is constructed using calibration points which fix the ages of anomalies
2.3', 5.5, 24, and 29. An equation is presented for...
Using gravity, magnetic, bathymetric and seismic
refraction data, I have constructed a geophysical cross-section
of the central part of the northern Gulf of California. The
section exhibits a crustal thickness of 18 km and features an
anomalous block of high density lower basement (3.15 g/cm³)
which probably resulted from rifting...
