Remarks
Tilt-Depth is a magnetic depth estimation method that lends itself to rapid mapping of sedimentary basins without the complexity of unraveling the depth solutions from methods that give multiple solutions (e.g. Euler deconvolution). Reference: Sedimentary basins reconnaissance using the magnetic Tilt-Depth method by Ahmed Salem et al. Exploration Geophysics, 2010, 41, 198-209. Rick Blakely & Gerry Connard have extended and improved this method, as have other authors. The 0-value contour of the tilt derivative grid is sampled to a new database, and the horizontal derivative grid is sampled at those locations. The inverse of the horizontal derivative values are output to the Tilt_Depth channel.
