Gravity of the Situation: Gravity Surveys and Geological Data Mining James Cormier-Chisholm, B.Sc. Geology, Env. Tech., MBA, Eureka Maps Inc. , Geological Data Miner It is one of the considerations of geological data mining, that one of the geophysical inputs often needed is gravity data. These surveys are often ground gravity surveys. It is on the geological data miner's wish list to have gravity surveys as one of the inputs into the data mining process to find minerals. Not all countries have this gravity data, not all countries release this data to the public. For planetary scale geological data mining for mineral resource, it would be a definite wish list item that Elon Musk, or NASA, or another bright aerospace company, would solve the issue of reducing noise in gravity mapping with respect to satellite based systems. Such satellite-based gravity surveys, would produce planet wide surveys useful for mineral exploration. The challenge of measuring gravity from space for miner...
