A scientific study at the University of Basrah examines the traceability of magnetic sources in the case of Salman Basin

 

Dr. Inass Almallah and Dr. Ahmed Mousa and Aqeel Rahman published a paper entitled (Lineaments Tracing of Magnetic Sources Depending on the Aeromagnetic Data: Case Study in Salman Basin and Surrounding Areas, Southern Desert of Iraq) in the (Iraqi Geological Journal), which is indexed in Scopus database. The aims of this study are to use the available satellite images and aeromagnetic data to investigate the boundaries of geological structures. For further understanding of the tectonic of the study area, the Centre for Exploration Targeting Grid Analysis extension which is available in Oasis montaj software was applied to the data. It is proposed that it provides unbiased results, but to check the results Tilt Derivative (TDR) or local phase derivative is used where the zero-contour line of the tilt derivative strongly delineates the edges of structures.
