Three dimensional lithospheric structure of the western continental margin of India constrained from gravity modelling: implication for tectonic evolution

This paper describes a 3-D lithospheric density model of the Western Continental Margin of India (WCMI) based on forwardmodelling of gravity data derived from satellite altimetry over the ocean and surface measurements on the Indian peninsula. The model covers the northeastern Arabian Sea and the western part of the Indian Peninsula and incorporates constraints from a wide variety of geophysical a...
