Heterogeneous Gravity Data Combination for Geophysical Exploration Research: Applications for Basin and Petroleum System Analysis in the Arabian Peninsula

The GOCE satellite gravity mission was launched in 2009 to measure the gravity gradient with high accuracy and spatial resolution. GOCE gravity data may improve the understanding and modeling of the Earth’s interior and its dynamic processes, contributing to new insights into the geodynamics associated with the lithosphere, mantle composition and rheology, uplift and subduction processes. However, to achieve this challenging target, GOCE should be used in combination with additional data sources, such as in-situ gravimetric, magnetic, and seismic data sets.
