Sources of geophysical anomalies, such as density, susceptibility, conductivity, reflectivity, etc., are not always random as we often adopt, but follow a scaling/fractal distribution. The application of fractal and scaling approaches in Earth science is widespread. Potential field theory has also been studied in the frame of fractals or scaling laws and found to be worthwhile in inferring the physical properties of the subsurface. Here, an attempt is made to discuss the in-depth review of the application of the fractal/scaling approach for qualitative and quantitative interpretation of complex sources of interest. The implications of this study will be beneficial for readers to understand the gaps in sub-surface source characterization with examples in a potential field data application. |
