  "description": "A derivative product called a 'shape index' was calculated from satellite gravity data acquired from the gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite mission.  The satellite data were processed to emphasize mass-surplus (dome-like) and -deficit (bowl-like) anomalies described in Ebbing and others (2018). GeoTIFF grids over the US and Canada and Australia are provided here and were used to calculate prospectivity for sediment-hosted Pb-Zn across the three countries.  \nReferences\nEbbing, J., Haas, P., Ferraccioli, F., Pappa, F., Szwillus, W., and Bouman, J., 2018, Earth tectonics as seen by GOCE - Enhanced satellite gravity gradient imaging: Scientific Reports, v. 8, no. 16356, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-34733-9.",
