Aeromagnetic expression of faults that offset basin fill, Albuquerque basin, New Mexico

摘要

High-resolution aeromagnetic data acquired over the Albuquerque basin show widespread expression of Faults that offset basin fill and demonstrate that the Aeromagnetic method can be an important hydrogeo- Logic and surficial mapping tool in sediment-filled basins. Aeromagnetic expression of faults is recognized by the Common correspondence of linear anomalies to surfi- Cial evidence of faulting across the area. In map view, Linear anomalies show patterns typical of extensional Faulting, such as anastomosing and en echelon segments.
