magnetic susceptibility has been extensively used to determine the magnetic properties of rocks for different applications, such as hydrocarbon or mineral explorations. this magnetic quantity can be directly measured in an accurate but time-consuming operation, or it can be mathematically approximated using a reliable procedure to achieve a desired accuracy. the poisson theory is one of the mos...

A new underwater object detection method based on joint GravityGradient and Magnetic-Gradient Inversion algorithms is proposed in this paper. Magnetic gradient and gravity gradient anomalies induced by an underwater object can be measured and inversed to estimate the relative changes in distance between underwater object and underwater vehicle. The weight least squares estimation is introduced ...

The dips of boundaries in faults and caldera walls play an important role in understanding their formation mechanisms. The fault dip is a particularly important parameter in numerical simulations for hazard map creation as the fault dip affects estimations of the area of disaster occurrence. In this study, I introduce a technique for estimating the fault dip using the eigenvector of the observe...

We estimated the dip distribution of Oita–Kumamoto Tectonic Line located in central Kyushu, Japan, by using the dip of the maximum eigenvector of the gravity gradient tensor. A series of earthquakes in Kumamoto and Oita beginning on 14 April 2016 occurred along this tectonic line, the largest of which was M = 7.3. Because a gravity gradiometry survey has not been conducted in the study area, we...

We present a feasibility study for interpretation of gravity gradient surveys in a single borehole using both an analytic and inverse-based approach. We analytically solve for distance and direction angles to a point source using the components of the gravity gradient tensor from a set of observations in a single borehole. We then generalize this approach to include the response due to a prisma...
