A comparison of some interpretation techniques for magnetic data

Magnetic data are used on a routine basis to help geological mapping. Although geologists often use them in a qualitative fashion to map lithological units, they can be used to determine the depth and dip of these units. Magnetic interpretation techniques can be grouped in three major categories. Firstly, magnetic data can be interpreted by interactively fitting 2D models to profile data. Secondly, inversion techniques can be used where one …
