Decorrelative Mollifier Gravimetry: Basics, Ideas, Concepts, and Examples

The monograph presents the geoscientific context of decorrelative gravitational exploration to determine mass density distribution inside the Earth, covering potential measurements, data cleansing, theory and model formation, computer-based implementation, numerical calculation and simulations, and interpretation by geologists. It spans geoengineering, geophysics, geomathematics, and geology, with important new fields of application for regions with mining-related cavities or dense development.

The geoscientific context of decorrelative gravitational exploration is presented in this monograph, focusing on determining the mass density distribution inside the Earth. It begins by reducing gravimetry to mathematically accessible models, making it accessible to a broad scientific audience and the exploration industry. New theoretical developments and innovative modeling techniques are introduced, with a focus on surface and volume geology with potential data primarily of terrestrial origin. For deep geology, the book explores geomathematical decorrelation methods that can incorporate depth information from boreholes. The book spans various geo-disciplines, from geoengineering to geophysics to geomathematics and geology, and back. It utilizes the German Saarland area for methodological tests, opening up new fields of application, particularly for regions with mining-related cavities or dense development in today's geo-exploration.
