Abstract
During a survey carried out in Afghanistan in 1964 under the leadership of Prof. A. Desio, Prof. Antonio Marussi measured 64 gravity stations along profiles crossing several regions of the country. These data are published now and their meaning is explained within the context of the other gravity data available on the region including the Hindu Kush, the Karakorum mountain ranges up to the Pamirs plateau.
Riassunto
Durante una spedizione effettuata in Afghanistan nel 1964, sotto la guida del Prof. Ardito Desio, il Prof. Antonio Marussi ha misurato i valori di gravita in 64 stazioni lungo profili che attraversano diverse regioni del paese. Questi dati vengono ora pubblicati e ne viene esaminato il significato nel contesto degli altri dati gravimetrici disponibili nella regione che va dal Hindu Kush al Karakorum e si estende fino all’altopiano del Pamir.
