Development of 3D Gravity/Magnetic Models of Earth's Crust in Complicated Regions of Azerbaijan

摘要

A complexity of Azerbaijan geological structure is caused mainly by its location in the Alpine zone limited on NE and SW by platform and sub-platform margins. Development of regional physical-geological models across the complicated regions of Azerbaijan was realized using a few successive steps: (1) review of petrophysical, seismic and magnetotelluric data, (2) applying filtering and transformation procedures to potential fields, (3) inverse problem solution, (4) 3-D combined gravity-magnetic modelling, (5) composition of final physical-geological models. This study shows the possibility of more detailed evaluation of the variable deep structure of Azerbaijan using careful gravity/magnetic data analysis.
