4 Mean value about 9.8 m/sec 2 = 1 g About 0.5% smaller at equator than poles Map unit = gal (for Galileo) = 1 cm/sec 2 Mean gravity = 980 gal Maps contoured in mgal = 10-6 g Modern gravimeters can detect.001 mgal variations (= 1 ppb) A gravimeter is essentially a spring balance. 4

6 6
7 Centrifugal force (3400 mgal at equator) Variation of Earth s radius g(φ) = 9.78( sin 2 φ sin 2 2φ) 0.5% less at equator than pole = 5000 mgal At 45⁰ = 58 mgal/degree 7
8 Raw Gravity Latitude Corrections Altitude Mass between observer and sea level Thickness of Crust and Regional Variations Purpose is to identify features of geologic interest, not cancel everything out 8
9 9 Gravity decreases 0.31 mgal/m A correction for altitude only is a free-air correction However, there is also mass between the observer and sea level A correction for excess mass is a Bouguer correction
10 Gravity varies by latitude due to earth s equatorial bulge and centrifugal force Need altitude correction = 0.3 mgal/m = 3 x 10-7 g/m Altitude only correction = Free-Air Anomaly Map Correct for mass between you and sea level = Bouguer Anomaly Map May also need terrain corrections Correct for variations in thickness of crust = Isostatic Anomaly Map 10

15 15 Earth with topography Geoid: Ideal sea-level shape of the earth Eliminate topography but keep the gravity Gravity is what determines orbits and leveling of survey instruments How do we know where the sea would be at some point inland? Datum: Ellipsoid that best fits the geoid Sphere: Globes and simple projections
16 16 Simple corrections for latitude and altitude Density = Lithology Can sense deep into crust Gravimeters are basically sensitive spring balances Fragile Prone to drift Discrete data points Labor intensive, low detail
17 Locations of anomaly sources are constrained Shapes of anomaly sources are constrained Sources cannot have geologically absurd properties Maximum depths are constrained Total masses constrained 17

28 Diamagnetism: weak repulsion from electron orbital motion, all materials Paramagnetism: moderate attraction due to unpaired electrons Ferromagnetism: strong attraction due to parallel alignment of electrons 28
29 29 Magnetic field of Earth = 40 micro-tesla = 40,000 nano-tesla (= 40,000 gamma) Varies from 25 to 70 micro-tesla Non-axial Not centered on the earth Varies over a human lifetime
30 Ferromagnetism is due to parallel electron magnetic moments Organization breaks down under heating Most materials lose magnetism around 500 C Can t pick up red hot iron with a magnet Responsible for most paleomagnetism Magnetic anomalies must be shallow Geomagnetic field has some other origin 30
31 Magnetic Minerals Magnetite Pyrrhotite Ilmenite Magnetite requires intermediate O activity Too much O Hematite Too little O Fe silicates Complex: Al favors biotite over Fe oxides No simple tie to lithology 31
32 Core is electrically conducting fluid Electric currents in core create magnetic field Motion of conducting fluid creates electric currents Currents generate magnetic field. Probable driver: convection Rotation affects flow and field orientation 32
