The ground-penetrating radar (GPR) method has been used for many years in archaeological research. However, this method is still not widely used in studies of past architecture. The biggest problem with the implementation of the GPR method at such sites is usually connected with extensive debris layers, plant cover and standing relics of walls and other features that restrict the available measurement area. Despite of these, properly performed GPR surveys, even on a small area, can yield significant information concerning underground architectural relicts. Moreover, the results of GPR profiling integrated with historical and archeological data allow for three-dimensional reconstruction of the examined architectural monuments and in the next step, they track architectural transformations. Relics of the Romanesque St. Peter monastery, located in the northern part of the Island of Rab, is a good example of the successful GPR survey. Results of the performed geophysical reconnaissance in conjunction with the query of archival materials made it possible to visualize a spatial (3D) appearance of three main phases of the site architectural development, despite a very limited area available for geophysical survey. According to the authors, such a comprehensive approach should be a standard in contemporary geophysical research focused on relics of the past architecture.

In view of the challenges faced by geophysical research in the future decades and the observed decline in interest in this field of study in Poland, itis necessary to mobilize the geophysical environment. One of the main causes of the crisis in the popularity of this field of study are changes in the economic paradigm, in which an important determinant and goal of activities is the declared departure from fossil fuels, especially coal and oil. Obviously, this has a direct impact on the prospects of geophysical research, whose main contractor on a global scale is the oil industry. With the depletion of the best available deposits, there is a need to reach for deposits that were increasingly difficult to discover and exploit, which contributed to the progress in geophysical research methods that followed the development of technology and information methods - the basis of modern geophysical analyses. The announced definitive departure from fossil fuels coincided in Poland with the end of the shale-gas boom and the announcement of the program of resigning from coal mining. These announcements aroused the belief that the demand for geophysical research will also expire in the coming years together with the prospects for financing such research. However, this belief is wrong. A significant stream of funds will be directed at the development of geophysical research on a global scale, and the current sponsors of utilitarian geophysical research will occupy new niches on the market, e.g. in the accumulation of energy, storage of greenhouse gases and the search for raw materials, the lack of which is increasingly felt by the most developed economies. Along with the growing awareness of the deepening climate crisis and the destruction of the natural environment engulfing the planet, the need increases to recalculate the environmental costs of economic activity, in which broadly understood geophysical sciences can undoubtedly help. Geophysical analysis of huge datasets requires modern computational methods such as numerical modelling, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The development of these fields will therefore be necessary, but also a difficult challenge for the scientific community in Poland. In this work, we will indicate mainly the prospective areas of the economy and the science, related to the broadly understood energy transformation that requires a significant share of geophysical research. The review of the issues and methodology of current geophysical problems and proposed solutions has been arranged in accordance with the directions of research in the field of earth sciences, subjectively highlighting the tasks that seem to be the most promising and/or scientifically attractive. The text deals with the issues related to climatology, hydrology and hydrogeology, environment, geological hazards, renewable and non-renewable energy sources, waste storage, energy storage, critical raw materials, and the structure and physical condition of the Earth's crust.

Handheld gamma-ray spectrometry (hGRS) is a valuable method for geological studies. It may be applied in correlations between well-logging and outcrop strata, enhance interpretations of sedimentological data, prospect radiogenic ores and geothermal resources, and identify radiogenic hazards for society. This paper aims to review and popularize one of the research methods based on a mobile device (hGRS) equipped with a BGO (bismuth germanium oxide) scintillator. The general concept of the research method is presented in this paper. The method's perspectives and limits based on reviewed literature. Advantages of hGRS include, e.g., low cost, short data acquisition time, the possibility of studying natural exposures, and a broad set of research applications. The main disadvantages comprise relatively modest resolution of acquired data and their difficult interpretation in complex geological formations. The review is backed by sample measurements performed in various geological exposures at Bornholm Island (Baltic Sea). Measurements comprised igneous rocks exposed in several quarries and sedimentary profiles near Liesti Valley and Muleby.

Integrated geophysical mapping benefits from visualizing multi-source datasets including gravity and satellite altimetry data using 2D and 3D techniques. Applying scripting cartographic approach by R language and GMT supported by traditional mapping in QGIS is presented in this paper with a case study of Iranian geomorphology and a special focus on Zagros Fold-and-Thrust Belt, a unique landform of the country affected by complex geodynamic structure. Several modules of GMT and ’tmap’ and ’raster’ packages of R language were shown to illustrate the efficiency of the console-based mapping by scripts. Data sources included high-resolution raster grids of GEBCO/SRTM, EGM-2008, SRTM DEM and vector geologic layers of USGS. The cartographic objective was to visualize thematic maps of Iran: topography, geology, satellite-derived gravity anomalies, geoid undulations and geomorphology. Various cartographic techniques were applied to plot the geophysical and topographic field gradients and categorical variations in geological structures and relief along the Zagros Fold-and-Thrust Belt. The structures of Elburz, Zagros, Kopet Dag and Makran slopes, Dasht-e Kavir, Dasht-e Lut and Great Salt Desert were visualized using 3D-and 2D techniques. The geomorphometric properties (slope, aspect, hillshade, elevations) were modelled by R. The study presented a series of 11 new maps made using a combination of scripting techniques and GIS for comparative geological-geophysical analysis. Listings of R and GMT scripting are provided for repeatability.

The applications of the machine learning and programming approaches in cartography has been increasing in recent years. This paper presents a case study of the scripting techniques used for cartographic mapping using Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) and R language (raster and tmaps packages). The aim of the study is environmental mapping of Ghana. The materials include high-resolution raster grids: topography by the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO), climate and environmental datasets (TerraClimate) and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for geomorphometric analysis (slope, aspect, hillshade and elevations). The methodology includes code snippets commented and explained with details of scripts. It is argued that using consolebased scripting tools for mapping is effective for cartographic workflow due to the logical structure and repeatability of scripts. The results include eight new thematic maps of Ghana performed using scripting approach inGMTscripting toolset and R language for quantitative and qualitative environmental assessment. Maps show correlations between the landforms of Ghana and certain environmental variables (drought index and soil moisture) showing the effects of the topographic relief on the distribution of the continuous geographic fields. These varied in several geographically distinct regions of Ghana: Ashanti (Kumasi), Volta, Savannah, coastal and northern regions. Demonstrated maps show that scripting method works effectively on a wide range of geosciences including environmental, topographic and climate studies. In such a way, this paper contributes both to the regional studies of Ghana and development of cartographic techniques.

The paper concerns GMT application for studies of the geophysical and geomorphological settings of the Weddell Sea. Its western part is occupied by the back-arc basin developed during geologic evolution of the Antarctic. The mapping presents geophysical settings reflecting tectonic formation of the region, glaciomarine sediment distribution and the bathymetry. The GlobSed grid highlighted the abnormally large thickness of sedimentary strata resulted from the long lasting sedimentation and great subsidence ratio. The sediment thickness indicated significant influx (>13,000m) in the southern segment. Values of 6,000–7,000 m along the peninsula indicate stability of the sediments influx. The northern end of the Filchner Trough shows increased sediment supply. The topography shows variability -7,160–4,763 m. The ridges in the northern segment and gravity anomalies (>75 mGal) show parallel lines stretching NW-SE (10°–45°W, 60°–67°S) which points at the effects of regional topography. The basin is dominated by the slightly negative gravity >-30 mGal. The geoid model shows a SW-NE trend with the lowest values <18 m in the south, the highest values >20m in the NE and along the Coats Land. The ripples in the north follow the geometry of the submarine ridges and channels proving correlation with topography and gravitational equipotential surface.

The article presents application of the new geophysical amplitude data comparison method (ADCM), resulting from integrated geophysical survey using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetometry. The ADCM was applied to recognize the horizontal and vertical stratigraphy of a Roman senatorial villa located in Santa Marina (western part of Croatian Istria). The measurements were carried out in 2017−2019 at this site, accompanied by a use of GPR and gradientometer. These two methods significantly differ from each other, but on the other hand, they are complementary to some extent. This is due to the fact that the methods register different types of underground materials. The GPR records electromagnetic waves reflected from real buried remains or boundaries between geological or archaeological layers that differ significantly in electrical properties. The magnetic method, in turn, records the anomalies of the magnetic field intensity resulting from the underground concentration of ferromagnetic minerals, hence it is ideal for searching structures filled with organic matter or burning material. However, a separate usage of these methods does not guarantee a full picture of archaeological structures that are preserved underground. Only the application of the ADCM allowed for a comparison of GPR and magnetic amplitude data reading, following which a spatial image (2D and 3D) of the preserved archaeological structures and the geological stratigraphy of the Santa Maria site were obtained.

Situated in the northern part of Algeria, Ouarsenis is one of several area affected by landslide phenomena. Indeed, 60 houses, a stadium and a lot of sports infrastructures are affected by the landslides. In this perspective, we have chosen a model of landslide with an area of 166 700 m2 affecting the southern part of the Bordj Bou Naama city. In order to characterized the landslide structure, we used multisource data (geological, topographical, geophysical and geotechnical). For modeling the 3D landslide surfaces we used three geometric models which are generated from different techniques of interpolation as Inverse Distance Weight (IDW), Minimum Curvature (MC) and Kriging (KO) and applied to the same input data set. The root of the mean square error (RMSE) and visual appearance of the morphology are used to select the best model. Indeed our results show that the KO represents the best model that gives a good result. Quality control is also performed to ensure that the model is suitable for hydro-mechanical modeling. This model show that the total volume of soils moved is ~9.8*105 m3, in which the volume of geological levels is 828 500 m3, 143440 m3 and 11 434.32 m3 respectively for the embankments, colluviums and Brown shale. The bleu shale is far from to be affected by this landslides, indeed the deepest zone that the rupture area affects is located at 12 m of depth. These results seem to be very important in order to plan remediation work in this area.

The study focuses on the Makran Trench in the Arabian Sea basin, in the north Indian Ocean. The area is tectonically active, with a system of ridges and fracture zones morphologically separating the Arabian Sea. The study examined the relationships between the topographic structure of the Makran Trench and the regional settings of the Arabian Sea: geomorphology, sediment thickness, geophysical fields, geology and tectonic lineaments. The methodology is based on the GMT scripting toolset. The spatial analysis includes high-resolution datasets GEBCO, EGM2008, GlobSed and data on tectonics, geology, geophysics, sediment thickness and topographic terrain model visualized by GMT. The paper also defined a way in which the proprietary ESRI data format can be transformed into the freely available GMT geospatial data of the geoid EGM2008 model. The geomorphological modeling included the automatic digitization of 300-km width cross-section profiles of the trench demonstrating its submarine relief. The analysis showed a correlation between the geological and tectonic structures, asymmetric geomorphology and geophysical anomaly fields. Gravity data indicate a crustal structure with anomalies generated by the bending of the lithosphere into the Makran subduction zone and density variations in the mantle reflected on the gravity maps. The gravity correlates with lineaments of the geomorphic structures. Bathymetric analysis revealed the most frequent depth (448 samples) at −3,250 to −3,500 m, followed by intervals: −3,000 to −3,250 m, −2,750 to −3,000 m. The declining continental slope correlates with gradually decreasing depths as equally distributed bins: 124 samples (−2,500 to −2,750 m), 96 (−2,250 to −2,500 m), 86 (−2,000 to −2,250 m). The trench is an asymmetric form with a high steepness on the continental slope of Pakistan and low steepness with a flat valley on the oceanward side. The multi-source data integration is important for seafloor mapping and the geomorphological analysis of oceanic trenches hidden to direct observations. The machine learning methods of GMT and cartographic modeling provide possibilities for the effective visualization of the trench. The comparison of the geomorphology with gravity anomalies, tectonic lineation, geological structures and topographical variations provides more detail to studies of the seafloor in the Arabian Sea.

The aim of the paper is to present the structure and research potential of the newly created measurement and information system for observing dynamic phenomena occurring in the Earth's crust in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) in Poland as a result of mining activities. The structure of the system is similar to the one developed for monitoring the movements of the European tectonic plate under the European Plate Observation System (EPOS) programme. The measurement part of the system consists of stationary devices and sensors working in monitoring mode, installed in various locations of the USCB, both on the surface and underground, as well as data sets from periodically performed measurements using land, air and satellite techniques. The IT part of the system will create a local data centre with specialized and dedicated processing and modelling software in which all measurement data will be archived and processed to a form which enables the analysis of the short and long-term impact of mining operations on the environment. As one of the elements of the system will be observations of the short and long-term gravity and morphology changes, the collected data will enable research in the field of the geodynamics of mining areas to be conducted.

Do niedawna zamek i jego układ znane były tylko z mało wyraźnej ryciny zrujnowanego zamku z początku XVIII wieku, ze szkicowej rekonstrukcji rzutu autorstwa Conrada Steinbrechta z końca XIX wieku oraz lakonicznych opisów inwentarzowych z połowy XVII i połowy XVIII wieku. Badania archeologiczno-architektoniczne uzupełnione prospekcją geofizyczną w znacznym stopniu uzupełniły tę wiedzę, weryfikując stare poglądy i hipotezy. W efekcie udało się zrekonstruować przebieg kurtyn obwodowych przedzamcza oraz fosy. W narożniku północno-zachodnim zweryfikowano obecność wieży wymienianej w inwentarzu z połowy XVII wieku. Dzięki prospekcji geofizycznej zlokalizowano także niektóre elementy zabudowy wewnętrznej – duży budynek od zachodu oraz stojący na dziedzińcu obiekt szachulcowy na murowanym podpiwniczeniu, którego istnienie zostało potwierdzone metodą wykopaliskową. Szczególnie interesujące okazały się wyniki badań archeologicznych w odniesieniu do rekonstrukcji pogranicza domu konwentu i przedzamcza zachodniego, wskazując na obecność tam nieznanej fosy i muru w 2. połowie XIV wieku. Zweryfikowano także narożnik północnego, zewnętrznego muru zamku, w którym według planu C. Steinbrechta miała znajdować się baszta. Rekonstrukcja ta okazała się niepoprawna, a zachowany mur był w rzeczywistości przyporą narożną. Badania dostarczyły także dalszych informacji umożliwiających rekonstrukcję ukształtowania terenu i technik budowlanych – przede wszystkim prac ziemnych.

Until recently, the castle and its layout were known only from a rather unclear sketch of the ruined castle from the beginning of the 18th century, from a sketchy reconstruction of the plan drawn by Conrad Steinbrecht at the end of the 19th century, and laconic inventory descriptions from the moid-17th and mid-18th century. Archaeological-architectonic research and geophysical prospection significantly complemented the knowledge, verifying old views and hypotheses. As a result it was possible to reconstruct the outlines of perimeter curtains of the bailey and the moat. The existence of a tower mentioned in the inventory from the mid17th century was verified in the north-western corner. Owing to geophysical prospection some elements of interior buildings were also located – a large building in the west and a framework building with a masonry basement standing in the courtyard whose existence was confirmed by the excavations. Results of archaeological research in reference to the reconstruction of the borderline of the chapter house and the west bailey, indicating the presence of an unknown moat and a wall there in the 2nd half of the 14th century, turned out to be particularly interesting. The corner of the north, outer wall of the castle was also verified where, according to the plan by C. Steinbrecht, the tower was to be located. The reconstruction turned out to be incorrect, and the preserved wall was actually a corner buttress. The research also yielded further information allowing for reconstructing the lay of the land and construction techniques – mainly earthworks.

Within the road investments the very important element determining repeatedly the success of the whole project is an adequate information about the characteristics of the site, its load capacity, stability and the possible impact of geological characteristics that may interfere with subsequent service life, not only for the road surface itself, but also for the surrounded objects. The surface is incessantly influenced by geological characteristics, determining its durability and functional usefulness. The main aim of this paper is to answer the question how by the usage of modern technics for obtaining data it is possible to find a link confirming the characteristics of land on which the specific road projects are supposed to be carried out, or where these projects have already been accomplished, concerning their requirements with high accuracy of location and also the stability and durability of the ground. This article makes also an attempt to answer not only the question how to identify the construction of road surface, but also how to locate underground cavities, created or influenced by the flow of water, or due to geological structures characterized as an inconsistent ground. The results were supported with geophysical researches using GPR method, and also data collected with laser scanners.

The paper presents results of a geophysical survey conducted in Crikvenica, a town located at the north-eastern Adriatic Sea coast in Croatia. The main aim was to identify extent of a Roman pottery workshop discovered to the north of the present town, at the site known as “Igralište”. The performed magnetic and GPR surveys within the area of the modern playground in Crikvenica revealed a large number of anomalies that may be connected with anthropogenic activity during different periods, both in modern and ancient times. The first group consists of anomalies generated by remnants of the modern underground infrastructure. Magnetic and ground-penetrating radar maps revealed anomalies in the north-western part of the modern playground that can be very likely interpreted as remains of a large ceramic kiln dated back to the Roman Period, similar to the kiln discovered during the excavations located further to the north. Finally, the survey performed within the Crikvenica football stadium clearly indicates that the integration of different Ground Penetrating Radar and magnetic methods allows for a detailed and effective identification of buried archaeological structures in large areas.

Znosko (1981a, b) first stated the important fact that the Sowie Góry "nappe” was lying on the rocks of the Middle Sudetic Ophiolite Complex. In the light of current geophysical and tectonic data, it still remains up-to-date. Both those articles have initiated a new look at the Paleozoic tectonic evolution of the Sudetes and its surroundings. This article presents an analysis ofpotential boundaries oflithostratigraphic terranes in the Sudetes and the Fore-Sudetic Block, confirmed by the waveforms of gravity horizontal gradients. Gravimetric modelling along the selected profile 3 makes it possible to present the subsurface geological structure. Metamorphic rocks of the Sowie Góry complex can probably reach a depth of almost 5 km on the Fore-Sudetic Block. Below them are mafic and ultramafic rocks, reaching a depth of up to 12 km, which belong to the Middle-Sudetic Ophiolite Complex. The kinematic data from the Sowie Góry metamorphic complex indicate displacement with the top-to-SW and to-S, as in the Middle-Sudetic Ophiolite Complex. Controversy over the origin and the geotectonic environment of the Early Ordovician protolith of the Sowie Góry gneisses, which are probably a magma product of arc-type magmatism formed above a subduction zone of the Tornquist Ocean. The Sowie Góry terrane can be considered as a relic of the Early Ordovician Paleozoic magma arc (the so-called peri-Baltic arc). The Sowie Góry terrane was moved towards the SW and S on obducted dismembered fragments of ophiolite sequences after closing the Rheic Ocean during the Eo-Variscan orogenesis.

Z powodu bezszybowego dostępu do złoża skuteczne przeprowadzenie procesu podziemnego zgazowania węgla brunatnego wymaga ciągłego monitorowania geofizycznego. Odpowiada ono za identyfikację położenia frontu zgazowania, modelowanie powstałej kawerny, określenie wpływu gazogeneratora na warstwy nadkładu i osiadanie terenu, jak również pomaga w wykryciu przypuszczalnych ucieczek gazu. Należy wspomnieć, że środowisko naukowe nie wypracowało optymalnego i standaryzowanego systemu monitorowania procesu podziemnego zgazowania węgla brunatnego. Niniejszy artykuł skupia się na wyborze metody obserwacji zjawiska zgazowania dopasowanej do warunków geologicznych towarzyszących polskim węglom brunatnym. Rozpatrywana technologia zgazowania dedykowana jest przede wszystkim pozabilansowym, zawodnionym i zapiaszczonym pokładom węgla brunatnego, występującym w sąsiedztwie utworów ilastych, które za zadanie mają stanowić izolację dla planowanego georeaktora. Wybór metody opiera się na charakterystycznych warunkach panujących w okolicy gazogeneratora, które wywołują lokalne anomalie geofizyczne. Warunki te to przede wszystkim oddziaływanie termiczne gazogeneratora, które wpływa na przewodnictwo elektryczne, porowatość, przepuszczalność, gęstość, czy prędkość rozchodzenia się fal. W efekcie jako najbardziej perspektywiczną metodę wybrano tomografię elektrooporową, która umożliwia niemalże automatyczne monitorowanie procesu. Zaproponowano również metodykę prowadzenia badań, dopasowaną do najbardziej perspektywicznych technologii podziemnego zgazowania węgla brunatnego.

Effective implementation of the brown coal underground gasification process requires continuous geophysical monitoring due to the shaft free access to deposits. Geophysical monitoring is responsible for identifying the gasification front location, modeling formed caverns, determining the impact of the gasifier at layers of overburden and subsidence, as well as helping to detect possible gas escapes. It should be noted that the scientific community did not develop optimal and standardized systems of brown coal underground gasification monitoring. This paper is focused on selecting the gasification monitoring method adapted to the geological conditions accompanying the Polish brown coals. The considered gasification technology is primarily dedicated to off-balance sheet, water-logged and gritty decks of brown coal, occurring near the loams designed to provide insulation for the planned gasifier. The method choice is based on the specific conditions prevailing in the gasifier area, which cause local geophysical anomalies. These conditions are primarily the thermal impact of gasifier which affects the electrical conductivity, porosity, permeability, density, and the waves propagation speed. As a result, electrical resistivity tomography was chosen as the most perspective method which allows for an almost automatic monitoring process, thus it allows the gasifier’s impact on the surroundings to be observed at a relatively low cost. The research methodology, adapted to the most promising technology of brown coal underground gasification was also proposed.

The turning technique is applicable for vessels towing streamers and conducting line-change or other maneuvers similar to 180° turn. Chosen forces affecting seismic in-water equipment as well as behavior of the spread are briefly shown and explained. Some advantages over traditional turning techniques are here described. The method was applied onboard the seismic vessel Geo Pacific reducing significantly time required for line-change.

Współczesne modele geologiczne 3D mają charakter innowacyjny w kompleksowym podejściu do rozpoznania wgłębnej budowy struktur i jednostek geologicznych. Umożliwiają one integrację i przestrzenną interpretację informacji geologicznej, archiwizowanej w postaci różnorodnych baz danych oraz analogowych materiałów kartograficznych. Zaletą tworzonych modeli 3D jest możliwość ich bieżącej modyfikacji wraz z dopływem nowych danych. Model geometryczny 3D uzupełniony informacjami o zmienności litolofacjalnej, parametrami petrologicznymi lub/i petrofizycznymi, jest podstawą szacowania zasobów złóż surowców i może być wykorzystany w symulacjach procesów geologicznych i hydrogeologicznych. Przedstawiony model budowy geologicznej wysadu solnego Łanięta prezentuje możliwości kompleksowej analizy danych, uwzględniającej szerokie spektrum skali rozpoznania geologicznego wysadu. Podczas procesu budowania modelu matematycznego opierano się w znacznej mierze na archiwalnych danych otworowych, wynikach pomiarów i analiz fizyko-chemicznych, a także na dostępnych interpretacjach profilowań sejsmiki 2D. Główną część modelowania przeprowadzono w oparciu o szczegółowe i półszczegółowe zdjęcia grawimetryczne. Do modelowania gęstościowego wykorzystano anomalie grawimetryczne w redukcji wolnopowietrznej, dzięki czemu możliwe było zbudowanie modelu od powierzchni terenu. Modelowanie wykonano w dwóch etapach. W pierwszym etapie obliczono prosty model oparty o zdjęcie półszczegółowe. Głównym efektem tego etapu było uzyskanie tła geologiczno- gęstościowego dla drugiego etapu, jakim było modelowanie samej struktury solnej. Etap ten realizowany był w oparciu o zdjęcie szczegółowe. Zdjęcie to w jednoznaczny sposób ukazuje niejednorodność modelowanego ciała. Dużym problemem w tego typu analizach jest prawidłowe zróżnicowanie gęstości w obrębie samego wysadu. Obecność dwóch typów litologicznych o bardzo zróżnicowanej gęstości (lekka sól i bardzo ciężki anhydryt) powoduje, że jednoznaczność wynikowego modelu w dużym stopniu uzależniona jest od znajomości relacji miąższościowych poszczególnych typów skał budujących pień solny wysadu (z otworów wiertniczych bądź sejsmiki).

Recent techniques of 3D geological models building present an innovative approach to integrated subsurface mapping of geological structures. Multiple sources of geological and geophysical data have been used in complex 3D modeling from both digital databases as well as analogue archives. Structural framework of the model supplemented with lithological and petrophysical data discretized in spatial grids is used for resources assessment and modeling of geological and hydrogeological processes. The 3D geological model of the Łanięta salt diapir has been developed as a case study for refinement of known structure and lithological variation of the salt dome with use of borehole data, cross sections and 2D seismic interpretation as well as petrophysical and geochemical analysis. The study has been focused on application of the geologically-constrained 3D geophysical inversion of gravity data for delineation of undrilled parts of the structure. The free-air correction of gravity data have been used for modeling of the structure from the terrain surface down to the depth of 1 km below sea level. Both regional and local gravity surveys were used in two steps approach. The low resolution regional model has been created for 3D trend model of density distribution in the first step. It was followed by the high resolution, detailed inversion of local gravity data. The 3D inversion constrained by borehole control points presents density variation of modeled structure. A significant challenge of presented approach of gravity inversion is an adequate differentiation of density in the salt diapir. The delineation of large density contrast of halite and anhydrite rock in the highly deformed internal diapir structures is problematic and it depends mostly on available borehole or seismic data on lithological succession and spatial distribution.
