T43D:
Application of Gravity, Magnetic, and Heat Flow to Tectonic Studies II Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 46046

Session Description:
Satellite, terrestrial and marine observations of both gravity and magnetic fields, as well as heat flow measurements, each contribute to a wide range of studies, from imaging the Earth´s structure at all levels to modeling of geodynamic processes. Therefore, the determination of the density, magnetic and thermal structure of the lithosphere and upper mantle is critical for understanding of active tectonics. We invite presentations related to the processing and analysis of gravity, magnetic and heat flow data in terms of Earth models. In particularly we encourage contributions that: 1) Develop new methods for the construction of integrative physical models; 2) Present models of the lithosphere and mantle based on joint interpretation of different geophysical data sets; 3) Determine the factors, such as temperature and composition, that are reflected in surface heat flow and potential fields; 4) Investigate isostatic models, deformation and stress concentration.
