Spatial interpolation methods applied in the environmental sciences: A review
Spatially continuous data of environmental variables are often required for environmental sciences and management. However, information for environmental variables is usually collected by point sampling, particularly for the mountainous region and deep ocean area. Thus, methods generating such spatially continuous data by using point samples become essential tools. Spatial interpolation methods...
متن کاملQuantifying crustal thickness over time in magmatic arcs
We present global and regional correlations between whole-rock values of Sr/Y and La/Yb and crustal thickness for intermediate rocks from modern subduction-related magmatic arcs formed around the Pacific. These correlations bolster earlier ideas that various geochemical parameters can be used to track changes of crustal thickness through time in ancient subduction systems. Inferred crustal thic...
متن کاملSpatial Interpolation Methods: A Review
Two forms of spatial interpolation, the interpolation of point and areal data, are distinguished. Traditionally, point interpolation is applied to isarithmic, that is, contour mapping and areal interpolation to isopleth mapping. Recently, areal interpolation techniques have been used to obtain data for a set of administrative or political districts from another set of districts whose boundaries...
متن کاملMapping crustal thickness using marine gravity data: Methods and uncertainties
Crustal thickness is a critical parameter for understanding the processes of continental rifting and breakup and the evolution of petroleum systems within passive margins. However, direct measurements of crustal thickness are sparse and expensive, highlighting the need for methodologies using gravity anomaly data, jointly with other geophysical data, to estimate crustal thickness. We evaluated ...
متن کاملConstraining the crustal thickness on Mercury from viscous topographic relaxation
[1] Mercury exhibits long-wavelength topography which has probably survived for 4 Ga. Assuming Airy compensation, the survival of the topography indicates that only certain combinations of crustal thickness and thermal structure are allowable. A dry diabase rheology allows a thicker crust than a dry plagioclase rheology. The existence of ancient faults places some constraints on the thermal str...
