Data and Computational Scripts for Integrated Aeromagnetic and Gravity Analysis of the Moroccan Atlas Mountains

Description This repository contains the geophysical datasets and computational scripts used in the study entitled “Integrated aeromagnetic and gravity analysis reveals the role of thermal processes in the evolution of the Moroccan Atlas Mountains.” The dataset provides the principal input and supporting data required to reproduce the aeromagnetic and gravity analyses presented in the study. The repository includes aeromagnetic data, gravity data, relevant geographic and geological shapefiles, and computational scripts used for Curie Point Depth estimation and geophysical inversion. The aeromagnetic data were processed and analysed to investigate the magnetic structure and subsurface thermal regime of the Moroccan Atlas Mountains. Curie Point Depth (CPD) was estimated from the magnetic power spectrum using spectral analysis and the methodology implemented in PyCurious. The repository also includes the inversion script used to estimate the relevant subsurface parameters from the geophysical observations. The gravity data and associated spatial datasets provide complementary constraints on the crustal structure of the study region. These datasets were integrated with the magnetic-derived thermal structure to investigate the relationship between crustal architecture, thermal processes, and the geological evolution of the Moroccan Atlas Mountains. Contents of the repository The repository contains: Aeromagnetic data – magnetic anomaly data used for spectral analysis and Curie Point Depth estimation. Gravity data – gravity anomaly data used to investigate the subsurface density structure and crustal architecture of the study area. Shapefiles and geographic data – spatial datasets used for mapping, geological interpretation, study-area definition, and visualization of the geophysical results. Curie Point Depth estimation script – computational code used to process the aeromagnetic data, calculate magnetic power spectra, and estimate Curie Point Depth. Geophysical inversion script – computational code used for the inversion analysis and estimation of subsurface parameters. Reproducibility The data and scripts are provided to facilitate reproducibility of the geophysical analyses presented in the associated manuscript. The computational workflows may require Python and relevant scientific and geophysical libraries, including packages used for numerical analysis, visualization, geospatial processing, and magnetic spectral analysis.
