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.
