Multiple-source Euler deconvolution

Abstract

Rapid three-dimensional (3-D) source location methods can be extremely useful in framing a subsurface structural model from gravity or magnetic data. However, existing implementations of Euler deconvolution are limited to a single source in each window. This can be a significant limitation in areas of complex structure. We have generalized the method to the multiple-source case, and implemented the 3-D algorithm. Results from synthetic data and from the Gold Acres mining district in Nevada suggest that the new algorithm can be a useful interpretive tool.
