The multi-level aeromagnetic survey conducted over the Deccan traps in 1974 reflects a tectonic fault and thrust faulting environment near the Latur earthquake zone. The matching aeromagnetic thickness estimate with the drilling results calibrates thickness estimates at other places of aeromagnetic profiles and surveys and calls for a detailed future coverage of randomly magnetized Deccan traps by aeromagnetic surveys.

Abstract


The multi-level aeromagnetic survey conducted over the Deccan traps in 1974 reflects a tectonic fault and thrust faulting environment near the Latur earthquake zone. The matching aeromagnetic thickness estimate with the drilling results calibrates thickness estimates at other places of aeromagnetic profiles and surveys and calls for a detailed future coverage of randomly magnetized Deccan traps by aeromagnetic surveys.
