Using Fractal Analysis To Map Topographic Density

Fractal behaviour, i.e. scale-invariance in aspects, is a<br>fundamental characteristic of patterns in nature.<br>Analysis of this behaviour is increasingly exploited in<br>studies of physical processes with many applications<br>in geology and geophysics. Using the fractal analysis<br>of gravity field surfaces, we present a method for<br>imaging topographic density. We show that a non<br>linear relatlonship between fractal dimensior, of gravity<br>field and topographic density exists.
