Gravity and Magnetic Methods for Geological Studies: Principles, Integrated Exploration and Plate Tectonics

Gravity and magnetic methods can be directly related to physical properties of rocks, i.e. the density and the susceptibility, and are very useful to field geologists and geophysicists in the mapping and identification of various rock types. They are also used for the detection of minerals with large contrast in density and susceptibility compared to country rock.

This reference volume consists of two parts: The first part describes the basic principles and methodology of the gravity and th...
