The use of Rapid Digital Computing Methods for Direct Gravity Interpretation of Sedimentary Basins

Abstract

A rapid digital computing method for the direct calculation of the shapes of two‐dimensional sedimentary basins of known density contrast from their residual gravity anomalies is described. In conclusion an example of the use of the method in determining the shape of the Dumfries New Red Sandstone basin (South Scotland) is given. Copyright © 1960, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
