Abstract.

In this work we are especially concerned with the “mathematization” of gravimetric exploration and prospecting. We investigate the extractable information of the Earth’s gravitational potential and its observables obtained by gravimetry for gravitational modeling as well as geological interpretation. More explicitly, local gravimetric data sets are exploited to visualize multiscale reconstruction and decorrelation features to be found in geophysically and geologically relevant signature bands.
