| Abstract: | A comparative study on two interpolator methods for Bouguer anomaly mapping was performed in the El Kef-Ouargha region, Tunisia. In particular, we compare the results of minimum curvature gridding and kriging. We undertake a geostatistical study using both anisotropic and isotropic analysis for studding the spatial variability and kriging the random variable: “Bouguer anomaly”. The model parameters of each method are calculated to compare the results. The anisotropic analysis most closely approximates the measured data. Consequentially, the Bouguer anomaly and vertical gradient maps using anisotropic kriging have the best correlation with the geological map, best represent density distributions at depth and most closely approximate the measured anomaly amplitudes. |
