A method for geographical surveying includes the steps of determining an observation grid (24) comprising observation points (22) above a solution (1 6) volume in the ground; making gravitational measurements at the observation points (22) over a survey area; compiling a matrix having elements relating a set of gravitational accelerations and gravity gradient values at the points to the mass values for volume elements in the solution volume (16); and calculating the three-dimensional density distribution of the volume under t he survey area based on the gravitational measurements and the inverse of the matrix. By measuring the magnetic field and gradient at the observation points, the three-dimensional magnetic susceptibility distribution of the volume under the survey area can be determined.
