Análise teórica do problema de Weaver da falha infinita, modo TE magnetotelúrico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2003-02-14) GUIMARÃES, Raimundo Nonato Menezes; RIJO, Luiz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3148365912720676
In this work it is shown an analytic solution for the Magnetotelluric TE mode infinite fault, taking in consideration the presence of the air. The solution following the hybrid solution, partially analytic and partially numeric, proposed in 1985 by Sampaio. In his solution he applied eight boundary conditions. We found that four of them are mathematically inconsistent and had to be modified. The modification of them took us to the analytic solution discussed here. This solution is compared with those obtained by Weaver and by Sampaio and with finite element method, using resistivity contrast equal to 2, 10 and 50 between the two sides of the fault. As a result, the analytic solution obtained here for the normalized electric field shows a better fit with the finite element solution then those proposed by either Weaver or Sampaio. This is a very difficult problem and it is still open to a definitive analytic solution. The one shown here is just one big step toward this goal.

Desenvolvimento de técnicas de filtragem e sua aplicação a dados aeromagnéticos da Bacia Amazônica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1976-08) SILVA, João Batista Corrêa da; LOURENÇO, José Seixas
In this thesis two filtering methods were combined in order to enhance some features in an aeromagnetic map such as lineaments and anomalies caused by sources of large proportions. The visual filtering consisted of stereoscopic examination of pairs of maps. The numeric filtering involved the elimination of the undesirable spectral components (noise) and the enhancement of the desired spectral components (signal). Both methods were tested on aeromagnetic maps of the Middle Amazon Basin. All the numeric filtering operations were done in the space domain by convolving the aeromagnetic data with a 13x13 filter matrix. Special attention was paid to the preliminary analysis of the spectrum, as a guide in filter design. The results of the application of each filter was discussed in detail. A further topic also dealt with was basement fault models. The model analysis established a complementary interpretation method to the filtering methods. A structural interpretation of the Middle Amazon Basin's basement was provided. The dominant aeromagnetic trends were E-W, N60°W, N-S, N45°E and N60°E. Two grabens were quite evident. The younger one trends N-S, while the older one strikes N45°E. Two anomalies caused by sources of intermediate and large proportions (15-60km) exhibit remanent magnetization and high values of negative inclination, which shows that the Amazon Basin would be southernmost in the Paleozoic. In performing the integration of aeromagnetic data with other geophysical data avaiIable, the interpretation from other data proved consistent with the aeromagnetic interpretation, illustrating the reliability of the techniques employed in this thesis.

Equipamento eletromagnético para prospecção geofísica e modelamento reduzido
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1979-12-13) FONSECA, Nélio Raimundo Medeiros da; VERMA, Om Prakash; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2723609019309173
In the last decade, electromagnetic methods constituted an efficient technique for prospecting of minerals. The objective of this work was to develop an equipment for quantitative electromagnetic prospecting of conducting bodies using dipole-dipole technique. The equipment can also be adopted for reduced scale model experiments. The equipment, in principle, measures the variation in the mutual electromagnetic coupling of two coils, namely the transmitting and the receiving coils. Ground will also contribute to this coupling when the coil system is used near it. This mutual impedance of the transmitter – receiver - ground system shall vary in the vicinity of an anomalous conductor which is manifested as a variation in the signal induced in the search coil. The equipment consists of two sets: a transmitter and a receiver alongwith accessories. The transmitter generates an electromagnetic field at frequencies of 520 Hz and 3090 Hz, and a reference signal for the receiver which is connected through a cable. The receiver first separates the anomalous secondary e.m. field from the uniform primary field. Then this secondary signal is decomposed into two orthogonal components, one inphase and other in quadrature with respect to the primary field. Amplitudes of these phase components can be measured directly in terms of the percentage of the primary field within a precision of 1%, using two amplitude scales. The sensibility of the receiver is 0.5 μV. Electronic circuits were rigorously tested by using precise laboratory instruments. The performance of the e.m. equipment was verified (a) by carrying out classical e.m. model experiments in the laboratory and comparing them with the published results; and (b) by taking some e. m. traverses in an area near Araci, in the State of Bahia, which has been prospected by "Rio Doce Geologia e Mineraçáo S/A-DOCEGEO". All these tests verify a highly good performance of the equipment in terms of its precision and usefulness for field work.

Formulação e implementação de um pacote para interpretar mapas magnéticos utilizando os polinômios de Walsh
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1992-12-30) RAMOS, Alexandre José Santos; O'BRIEN, Douglas Patrick
In this work we develop a method for the automatic interpretation of magnetic field data. This methodology determines the boundaries and magnetizations of geologic units. The often of abrupt variations of the magnetization of geological units are modeled in this methodology. These abrupt lateral variations will be represented by discontinuous polynomials known as Walsh polynomials. Several new concepts were developed in order to apply Walsh polynomials to solve aeromagnetic data inversion problems. Among these new concepts we can list. (i) - An optimum algorithm to generate a set of "quasi-orthogonal" polynomials using a Walsh magnetization distribution. (ii) - The use of the damped least squares method to stabilize the inverse solution. (iii) An investigation of positional invariance problems, which are inherent in the Walsh polynomials. (iv) - The choice of the order of the polynomials taking into account the limitations of resolution and the behaviour of the eigenvalues. Using these features of magnetized bodies it is possible to formulate the direct problem, i.e, the bodies magnetization obeys Walsh distribution. It is also possible to formulate the inverse problem, in which the magnetization that generates the observed field obeys the Walsh series. Prior to applying the method it is necessary to estimate the depths to the magnetic sources. We have chosen a method developed by LOURES (1991), which is based on the Euler homogenous equation which requires the knowledge of the magnetic field and its derivatives. We tested the method with real data from a region in the Alto Amazonas sedimentary basin. The aeromagnetic data were provided by PETROBRÁS.

Inversão gravimétrica usando regularização entrópica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005) OLIVEIRA, Francisco de Souza; SILVA, João Batista Corrêa da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1870725463184491
We present a new gravity inversion method, which produces an apparent density contrast mapping on the horizontal plane by combining the minimization of the first-order entropy with the maximization of the zero-order entropy of the estimated density contrasts. The interpretation model consists of a grid of vertical, juxtaposed prisms in both horizontal directions. The top and the bottom of the gravity sources are assumed to be flat and horizontal, and the parameters to be estimated are the prism density contrasts. The maximization of the zero-order entropy is similar to the global smoothness constraint whereas the minimization of the first-order entropy favors solutions presenting sharp borders, so a judicious combination of both constrains may lead to solutions characterized by regions where the estimated density contrasts are virtually constant (in the case of homogeneous bodies), separated by sharp discontinuities. The method has been applied to synthetic data simulating the presence of intrusive bodies in sediments. The comparison of the results with those obtained with the global smoothness constraint method shows that both methods produce good and equivalent locations of the source positions, but the entropic regularization delineates the contour of the bodies with greater resolution, even in the case of 100 m wide bodies separated by a distance as small as 50 m. In the case that the depth to the top of the causative sources is neither flat nor horizontal, both method produced similar results. Both the proposed and the global smoothness methods have been applied to two sets of real data produced by igneous intrusions into metamorphic rocks. The first one is from the Matsitama region, northeast of Botswana. The application of both methods to this data set lead to similar results, indicating that depth to the sources top is neither flat nor horizontal. The second set is from the Cornuália region, England. The results produced by both methods in this case are reasonably different, indicating that the gravity source present an approximately flat and horizontal top. This is confirmed by the available geological information.
