Abstract
A survey of the transfer function between the relief and anomalies of Bougu er and a direct modelling of six gravimetric profiles permits the deduction of the isostatic compensation mechanism for the island of Madagascar and a model of the lithosphere. These results are compared to the other geophysi cal and geological data. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Limited. All rights rese rved.
