Course Module: PF 119 – Residualization

$35.00

In general, the term “residual” refers to a quantity left over at the end of a process or in scientific terms the difference between an observed field and a calculated field. To geologists and geophysicists “residualization” known as “Regional-Residual Separation” is the process of generating a residual anomaly field from an observed field by removing a regional field. This residual map usually reveals previously hidden subtle features in the data. The map is considered to be a key element for an interpreter whose endeavor is to find and decipher local features which could be anomalies of exploration significance.
