Predicting Depth of Mineral Deposit using Gravity-Density Downward Correlation by Fourier Transform

Residual gravity anomalies are the superposition of effects originating from several interfaces in the subsurface. In downward projection of the anomalies for the determination of the depth of the particular substructure which accounts for the bulk of the residual gravity anomalies on the plane can...
