3D geospatial model of the Australian continent from geologically constrained inverse modeling of Earth's gravity and magnetic fields

Inverse modelling of the Earth's magnetic and gravity fields will be used to construct continental-scale 3D geospatial models of the Australian crust. The models will delineate major structures and discontinuities within the crust. Magnetic and gravity fields allow imaging of the crust between the Earth's surface and deeper lithosphere, providing a way to connect deep structure and surface geology to understand the 3D geometry of continents. Gravity and magnetic inverse models will be guided by uncertainty analysis of geological constraints, which is a unique approach to integrate geological and geophysical analysis. Such models will have implications for resource exploration and hazard recognition.
