The structures of the Bermejo Basin and Sierra de la Huerta based on Euler deconvolution and analytic signal techniques

Abstract

These geophysical techniques were applied to the Bouguer anomalies in the Bermejo Basin and Valle Fértil range. The location and depth to source of the anomalies were interpreted from the solutions obtained by these techniques. The found sources have been related with the geologic structures affecting the basement. In order to verify the results obtained and minimize the ambiguity of these potential methods, a forward gravimetric model was prepared, based on a geological and structural model of the area. The 2D analytic signal technique was applied to the gravimetric response of the model, and the solutions found are consistent with the depth and geometry of the above recognized sources, confirming the results obtained.
