Abstract

Marine gravity surveys provide good coverage of most of the UK continental shelf and recently released, closely-spaced, satellite-derived gravity data extends the coverage to the whole of the continental margin to the northwest of the British Isles. This has, for the first time, enabled regional gravity maps to be produced of the entire Shetland-Faeroes-Hebrides-Rockall area with sufficient resolution to image upper-crustal structures and putative sedimentary basins. The use of gravity data for exploration in continent margin areas, however, poses some particularly challenging problems in data processing -and presentation.
