Antarctic Gravity Anomaly Inventory

Gravity anomalies provide one of the most important tools for investigating Antarctic geology beneath the ice sheet.

Regional Geological Context

Important regions include Wilkes Land, East Antarctica; Queen Maud Land; the Transantarctic Mountains; Aurora Subglacial Basin; Recovery Basin; and the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains.

Relevant institutions include Australian Antarctic Division, Kingston, Tasmania, Australia; British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, England, United Kingdom; and University of Tasmania, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

Observation

Antarctic gravity datasets reveal density contrasts, buried basins, crustal boundaries, and large-scale geophysical structures concealed beneath ice cover.

Constraint Analysis

Gravity anomalies are valuable because they provide evidence independent of visible surface geology.

Open Questions

Which Antarctic gravity anomalies correspond to crustal structure, mantle structure, basin architecture, or unresolved geological sources?
