Gravity crustal model for an andean section at 32° s considering upper mantle lateral density variation

Up to date, three gravity models for the Andean section at 32° south latitude have been published. Two of them did not have seismic reflection/refraction data to constrain the subsurface geometry. The other one included seismic data to fit thicknesses and determined density contrasts using velocity-density curves. Furthermore, all previous models assumed a homogeneous mantle. In this paper a new gravity model is computed for a two-layer crust of the Andean section at the 32° south latitude. It involves new seismic depths for the Andean foreland, recent worldwide velocity-density relationship...
