Brief description
Gravity data measure small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. This Galilee Complete Spherical Cap 1vd geodetic is the first vertical derivative of the complete spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid for the Galilee Gravity Survey (P201040). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 201040 for the geological survey of QLD. The grid has a cell size of 0.007 degrees (approximately 748m). A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) process was applied to the original grid to calculate the first vertical derivative grid. A total of 6523 gravity stations at 4000m spacing were acquired to produce this grid.Lineage
