| Description | The present investigation is mostly concerned with the contribution that kriging can make towards reducing the number of observed gravity measurements necessary for a reliable estimate of the volume weathered dolomite in the dolomitic areas of South Africa. After a brief introduction, the method is applied to the Bouguer anomaly values of a part of the Zuurbekom Compartment. It is shown that by using kriging, the number of measuring stations can be reduced by op to 90 percent without affecting the accuracy of the calculation of the estimated volume of the weathered dolomite adversely. Ondersoek is ingestel na die gebruik van kriging as hulpmiddel by die gravitasiemetode vir die opsporing van verweerde sones in die dolomitiese gebiede van Suid-Afrika. Na ’n kort bespreking van die basiese beginsels van kriging, word die metode toegepas op die Bouguer-anomaliewaardes, soos waargeneem op ’n deel van die Zuurbekomkompartement. Daar word getoon dat die aantal waarnemingspunte met tot soveel as 90 persent verminder kan word, sonder ’n noemenswaardige verlies van akkuraatheid in die bepaling van die geskatte volumes verweerde dolomiet. | |
