We present a new 2D linear inversion gravity method to estimate the discontinuous basement relief of a sedimentary basin. The method uses an interpretation model consisting of a set of 2D juxtaposed horizontal ribbons whose thicknesses are the parameters to be estimated. The density contrast between the basement and the sediments is assumed constant and known. The estimates of the thicknesses were stabilized with the Total Variation functional (TV) which permits solutions presenting local discontinuities in the basement relief. The estimates of the basement relief are produced by solving a single linear system of equations in the L1 norm. Because linear inversion methods underestimate the depth of the basement relief for sedimentary basins thicker than 500 m, we amplify the depth estimates through by modifying the matrix associated with the interpretation model. This procedure in general leads to overestimated depths which are corrected through the expression of the anomaly of a Bouguer slab. Tests on synthetic and real data produced similar results as compared with the nonlinear method, but required less computational time. The ratio R between the computational times required by the nonlinear and the proposed methods to produce similar solutions increases with the number of observations and parameters. For example, for 60 observations and 60 parameters R is equal to 4 whereas for 2500 observations and 2500 R increases to 16.8. The proposed method and the nonlinear inversion method were also applied to real gravity data from Steptoe Valley, Nevada, U.S.A. and from Ponte do POEMA at the Campus of Guamá, in Belém, producing solutions which are similar to the ones produced by the nonlinear method but required a smaller computer time.

Transformação de estimativas suaves aplicadas à interpretação de relevos descontínuos do embasamento

We present a method to delineate the basement relief of sedimentary basins composed by vertical faults and horizontal plans. We assume density contrast between the basement and the sediments constant or decrease with depth, and known. The developed method determines the vertical positions for horizontal plans and horizontal positions for vertical faults through an smooth initial solution of the basement relief. We produce this smooth solution through an efficient method which delineates the smooth basement relief. The horizontal positions of two adjacent faults estimates the extension of only one horizontal terrace. Similarly, the vertical position of two adjacent horizontal terraces estimates the extension of the fault between them. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the computational time of two other inversion methods, which stabilize the solution applying the Total Variation functional. The proposed method always produced solutions in less computational time as compared with the computational time required by other methods. Tests on synthetic data contaminated with zero-mean Gaussian pseudorandom noise with a standard deviation of 0.1 mGal show which proposed method produced satisfactory results and estimated basement topographies close to simulated basement topographies. The proposed method was applied to two sets of real Bouguer anomalies: Steptoe Valley (United States) and San Jacinto Graben (United States). The method produced estimated basement topographies presenting high-angle faults in accordance with the available geological information, which the basins above mentioned were formed by extensional tectonics with the consequent formation of structural settings of sedimentary basins conditioned by normal faults.
