Geological Interpretation Of Aeromagnetic Data

Download or read book Geological Interpretation of Aeromagnetic Data written by David J. Isles and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to covering the basic physics of magnetic anomalies and chemistry of magnetization in rocks, this book features three expansively worked examples illustrating the integration of aeromagnetics and geology in terrains ranging from Archaean 'granite-greenstone' to Phanerozoic sedimentary basins. It generously illustrates modern imagery and the basic steps in the integration and interpretation process. Based on the short course "Geological Interpretation and Structural Analysis of Aeromagnetic Data" conducted by the authors since 1995, the book provides readers with the basic qualitative observation and interpretation skills necessary for integration of aeromagnetics with geology. It is suited to both explorers and mappers and covers the basic targeting concepts used in mineral, hydrocarbon, and groundwater exploration. A practical manual for aeromagnetic interpretation, this book is written primarily for geologists and was copublished by ASEG and SEG.
