Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems for geophysical exploration include accessing, from a data store, measured gravity values for a geographical area; modeling gravity values for the geographical area; determining gravity anomaly values based on the measured gravity values and the modeled gravity values; A gravity anomaly map of the geographical area is generated based on the determined gravity anomaly values and physical locations in the geographical area associated with the determined gravity anomaly values. A dip surface is generated representing inclinations of the geographical area based on the gravity anomaly map. A gravity dip map of the geographical area is generated by combining the dip surface with the gravity anomaly map, and a visual representation of the gravity dip map of the geographical area is displayed, on a display device, wherein colors of the visual representation represent the values of the gravity map.
