GRAVIMETRÍA

Gravity surveying is based on the quantification and analysis of the gravity field at the surface of the earth's crust. This field is affected by the density of the materials present in the subsurface. The gravimetric method of geophysical prospecting measures local gravity to detect anomalies in the density of the earth's crust. In this process, specialized equipment is used, gravity measurements are made with a high precision gravimeter and the positioning of each measurement point is measured with centimeter-accurate GPS equipment. These data are integrated with geological information and other geophysical methodologies to identify areas of interest.
