Abstract here, ca. 100 words. In this paper, eigenvalues of the full gravity gradient tensor (GGT) are used to detect edges of geological structure.  First, the solving of GGT eigenvalues is discussed; then a new edge detection method is proposed by using the  eigenvalues of GGT. Comparing with the pervious edge detection method based on curvature gravity gradient  tensor (CGGT), the full gravity gradient tensor containsmore independent gradient components that are helpful  to detect more subtle structures of the sources. The proposed method is applied to the synthetic data with and  without noise to determine the locations of the edges of the mixed positive/negative contract density bodies. It  has also been tested on real field data. All of the experimental results have shown that the newly proposed  method is effective for edge detection.
