▪ Direct Interpretation → The information of anomalous bodies at the subsurface are obtained directly from gravity anomaly profile, i.e. depth and density of anomalous bodies;
▪ Indirect Interpretation → The anomalous bodies are modeled to obtain theoretical gravity values. The model parameters can be changed trial and error to obtain the theoretical values that well-agree with observed gravity values. This method is then well-known as forward modeling;
▪ Gravity (and magnetic) modeling is always a non-unique problem, this leaves the actual extent of the ambiguity domain, i.e. the range of variability of the solutions to a potential field problem …. → the modeling needs additional geologic information, well data, etc. as a constraint …
