Digital Analysis of Gravity Data of the Absheron Peninsula

Abstract

The depth structure of the crust of the Absheron Peninsula was studied based on gravimetric data. Modern methods of mathematical processing and interpretation were used in the research work. Numerical analysis of gravity data of the research area was performed using Hartley transform and Butterworth filter. The Spector-Grant method was used to determine the average depth state of the masses causing the anomaly based on the values of the gravitational field power spectrum. The power spectrum of the gravitational field of the research area was analyzed to determine the cutoff frequency and the average depth of the density interface that form gravity anomalies. The average depth values of the density interface forming gravity anomalies were determined to be 6.8 and 36 km. As a result of applying the Parker-Oldenburg’s method to the regional gravity anomalies of the Absheron Peninsula and adjacent areas, a model of the depth of the crust-lithosphere boundary (Moho) was created. Inversion estimation of the gravity field using the Parker-Oldenburg’s method show that the depth of the Moho boundary on the Absheron Peninsula varies between 40-46 km. A gravity anomaly map of the Moho boundary was created applying the forward modeling algorithm. The main purpose of the research is to study the gravity anomalies of the Absheron Peninsula as a result of spectral analysis and to get the gravity model of the depth of the Moho boundary by applying the Parker-Oldenburg’s method.
