Análisis gravimétrico e isostático en el Macizo Ibérico

Abstract

A new Isostatic Residual Anomaly Map of the Iberian Peninsula and surrounding marine zones has been made. This map is based on an Airy-Heiskanen isostatic model with local compensation. The key parameters for the model are: depth to the bottom of the Airy-Heiskanen root at sea level, density contrast across the root and topographic density. This map reveal more clearly than the Bouguer Anomaly Map the density distributions within the crust and shows good correlation with the main geological features of the Iberian Peninsula
