Contents of the Course
Applications of gravity and magnetic methods, physical principles on which they are based, measurements for prospecting of them (land, sea and air). Obtaining of anomaly maps after corrections to be applied on these measurements. Methods used to distinguish between regional (regional) and residual (local) anomalies in gravity and magnetic anomaly maps (filtering, analytical extension methods, horizontal and vertical derivatives anomalies). migrogravity, gradiometry Measurement methods of direct residual anomaly values while taking measurements in the field. To obtain gravity and magnetic anomalies of different geometric shapes and to evaluate these anomalies. Calculation and interpretation of gravity and magnetic anomalies of randomly shaped masses by Talwani method (Grav2dc/Mag2dc).
