Modeling of the Climax Stock and Related Plutons Based on the Inversion of Magnetic data, Southwest Nevada

The raster grid, model1, represents the elevation of the surface of the Climax
and Gold Meadows Stocks. The elevation was generated by inverse modeling of
the pseudogravity anomaly.

This raster grid was created to model depth to the granitoid body that crops
out at the Climax and Gold Meadows Stocks. Because granitic bodies may have
hydrologic properties different from those of rocks they intrude, knowledge of
their three-dimensional distribution in the subsurface is important for
analyzing the southward flow of ground water into Yucca flat.
