Gravity, Geoid, Isostasy and Moho Depth in the Ross Sea, Antarctica

  • Conference paper
Gravity, Geoid and Marine Geodesy

Part of the book series: International Association of Geodesy Symposia ((IAG SYMPOSIA,volume 117))

Abstract

In the framework of several international research projects performed in Ross Sea (Antarctica) in the last years marine gravity data, high resolution reflection seismic lines and deep seismic sounding profiles have been acquired.

The gravity data set has been used to compute maps of Bouguer anomaly, isostatic anomaly, isostatic correction and local geoid undulations. Forward modelling of seismic and gravity data has been also used to compute the depths of the Crust-Mantle discontinuity.
