1: 1 million Geological, Structural and Bouguer Gravity
Geological map of Kenya with bouguer gravity contours overlaid. Data was compiled from observations listed in Swain and Khan, 1977, 'Kenya, a catalogue of gravity measurements' by Leicester University (same authors) using a density of 2.67, datum IGSN 1971 and 1967 gravity formula.
Contours are in mgl (milli galileo - measure of gravity) as positive and negative values.
West of 37 deg 30' Long. Contours by Beicip every 5mgl from station data recorded on tapes by Leicester University.
Updated from Amoco data in Lotikipi Gatome area by Beicip-Franlab 2001.
East of 37 deg 30' Long. Contours every 10mgl from Bouger map of Kenya, 1982 at 1: 1 000 000, Leicester University. Modified by Beicip with additional information in the Garissa-wajir area and offshore area.
