Abstract:

A reconnaissance gravity survey of the Skeleton Coast in SWA/Namibia has provided a significant contribution to existing Bouguer anomaly data. A traverse along the coast from Torra Bay to the Kunene River mouth, with stations spaced at 10 to 20 km intervals, was supplemented with additional traverses up the Hoanib River, from Mile 108 to the Brandberg and south of the Brandberg. A Bouguer anomaly map and a profile along the coast have been produced using computer techniques. Most significantly, the results indicate the presence of hitherto unknown regions of positive Bouguer anomalies at Möwe Bay and Cape Fria.
