Abstract
Compilation of gravity maps from Romania and Bulgaria provided geophysical data with very good regional coverage, making possible enhanced data processing and cross-border geological interpretation of gravity data on the Moesian Platform. By merging the available gravity data into a unique dataset, a Bouguer gravity anomaly map of the Moesian Platform in Romania and Bulgaria was produced. When applying filtering techniques, the residual gravity anomaly map of the Moesian Platform provided valuable information on the Intramoesian Fault segments in both Romania and Bulgaria, as well as on the north-western continuation of the Capidava-Ovidiu and Peceneaga-Camena regional faults. Large and deep geological structures of the Moesian Platform were interpreted on gravity anomalies at crustal depths based on density contrasts as compared with the neighbouring background.
