Analysis of the euler deconvolution technique for calculating regional depth to basement in an area of complex structure

Current automatic depth-to-basement techniques aim to locate an individual source of a magnetic anomaly. This approach is appropriate for small areas with isolated anomalies but does not address the problem of calculating depth to basement, in a regional context, for multiply deformed terrains. An alternative method is being developed for displaying the information calculated using Euler deconvolution. This method defines local depth estimates over a region and produces an apparent depth image, where the geometry of the basement can be seen clearly.
