Density structure of the Northeast German basin: 3D modelling along the DEKORP line BASIN96

The stress field below the NE German Basin: effects induced by the Alpine collision

“…A detailed rheological study of the area (Marotta et al 1999(Marotta et al , 2000 supports the idea that the German Basin is stronger than the surrounding regions. This increase in the local strength is also consistent with other geophysical parameters: high lower crustal seismic velocities (Thybo 1990;Rabbel et al 1995;Bleibinhaus et al 1999) and high lower crustal density, as indicated by gravity modelling (Scheck et al 1999;Bayer et al 1999).…”

“…(2) With regards to the recent observations in connection with the deep seismic survey BASIN-96 (DEKORP BASIN Research Group 1999;Bayer et al 1999), we conclude that the N German Basin is still in a state of horizontal compression and therefore not in isostatic equilibrium. This aspect has previously been considered in a gravity study (Scheck et al 1999).…”

Regional gravity anomaly map and crustal model of the Central–Southern Apennines (Italy)

“…The stripping technique consists in computing and subtracting the gravity effect of all the surficial lithological bodies whose geometry and density are reasonably known. This procedure was originally applied for hydrocarbon exploration, and then extended to both local and regional studies (see, among the others, Orlando et al, 1991Orlando et al, , 1994Bernabini et al, 1996aBernabini et al, , 2002Scheck et al, 1999;Strykowski, 2000;Ebbing et al, 2001). It differs from the filtering techniques because it does not cause any distortion that could affect the regional pattern of anomalies.…”

“…If properly constrained, the stripping allows to correctly single out the regional gravity anomalies, and consequently, to directly view the gravity features caused by the deep crust and upper mantle . The prerequisite for the stripping technique is a good knowledge of the geological features of the studied area, with a degree of detail suitable for the scale of the work (see e.g., Bernabini et al, 1994;Scheck et al, 1999).…”

The Glueckstadt Graben of the North-German Basin: new insights into the structure from 3D and 2D gravity analyses

“…1a). During the last two decades, results of gravity analysis have produced insights into basin and crustal structure of the Central European Basin System (Hermes 1986;Dohr et al 1989;Brink et al 1994;Scheck and Bayer 1999;Bachmann and Grosse 1989;Thybo 1996, 1997;Krolikowski and Grobelny 1991;Dirkzwager et al 2000;Olesen et al 2004;Lyngsie et al 2006;Yegorova et al 2007). One of the major problems of gravity modelling within the Central European Basin System is related to gravity effects resulting from large salt structures (see Fig.…”
