There are only 832 Google web hits for "isograv". I find it impossible to believe this word actually has four senses. At best, sense 1 may be able to be attested. This, that and the other (talk) 03:38, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Most of what I could find were either isograv lines (first definition) or a word like isogravimetric broken over a line break. I think I managed to get one of the other definitions cited, but would appreciate someone else double-checking that. In addition, there were two sci-fi uses that I put on the citations page that don't seem to fit any of the definitions - probably just technobabble. Kiwima (talk) 22:16, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- According to [1], the README file of the source cited in reference 29 of the 2014 (Evans) paper, isograv is an abbrevation for "isostatic residual gravity anomaly". This is also what is seen in the 2017 paper. This, that and the other (talk) 03:41, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- The entry has been cleaned up. Senses 1 and 3 are cited while 2, 4 and 5 remain unverified. This, that and the other (talk) 03:25, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
