Enhancement of the balanced total horizontal derivative of gravity data using the power law approach

Mapping the boundaries of subsurface geological structures constitutes a fundamental aspect of interpreting gravity data. Various methods relying on gravity derivatives have been introduced to delineate these boundaries. However, these approaches are not without their limitations, often leading to t...

description Mapping the boundaries of subsurface geological structures constitutes a fundamental aspect of interpreting gravity data. Various methods relying on gravity derivatives have been introduced to delineate these boundaries. However, these approaches are not without their limitations, often leading to the generation of false edges or resulting in divergent outcomes. This article introduces a novel method that utilizes the power law approach and balanced total horizontal derivative for mapping gravity data edges. To assess the robustness of the proposed technique, we conducted tests on model examples and applied it to a real case study in northwest Vietnam. The results demonstrate that our method can accurately and clearly map edges in comparison to existing methodologies, while also preventing the generation of spurious edges in the output maps.
