A gravity survey measures changes in the Earth’s gravity due to subsurface density variations.Microgravity is a term used to indicate a precision gravity survey in which near surface features are of interest. These features may include lateral changes in soil or rock density, buried channels, large fractures, faults, dissolution-enlarged joints and cavities. A microgravity survey can be used to map the lateral boundaries of anomalous features, estimate the amount of missing mass within an anomalous area, and guide confirmatory borings.
