Gravimetric study of San Rafael block, Mendoza province

On the basis of gravimetric data, gravity anomaly maps were made, together with isostatic and elastic thickness analyses, with the aim of characterizing the crustal structure of the San Rafael block, situated in the south of the province of Mendoza. Based on the interpretation of anomaly map obtaine...
