Rapid 3D inversion of gravity and gravity gradient data to
test geologic hypotheses Leonardo Uieda Valéria C. F. Barbosa Observatório Nacional Rio de Janeiro, Brazil GGHS2012 S7-044
Forward modeling
Observed Predicted Model
✔ Control ✔ Prior information ✔ Speed ✗ Tedious ✗
Gravity + gradients ✗ 3D
Geophysical inversion
Inversion Observed data 3D model
Prior information Regularization: • Damping • Smoothness Inversion Observed data
3D model
✔ Automatic fit ✔ Gravity + gradients ✔ 3D ✗

Conclusion • 3D forward modeling = difficult • Traditional 3D
inversion = not flexible • Planting densities = fast + flexible
