Abstract

It will be studied two gravimetric lows at the north limit of Paraná Basin. We intend to perform direct modeling and inversion of the gravimetric data. Preliminary analysis suggest that the features are in the basement of the basin, in this case no sampling of the sediments it will be necessary for the initial models.
