What is it about?
Euler deconvolution has long been applied to magnetic (and sometimes gravity) interpretation. The step model presents unique problems which are discussed fully here. An approach to solving the problem is sketched out.

Why is it important?
The step model is possibly the most useful model in gravity interpretation. It's difficult because you need to estimate the dpath to top and the throw, and these are normally coupled parameters, so the estimation is typically non-linear and intractable.
Perspectives
Many people assume E=simple Euler deconvolution can handle this problem. I am one of those who suggested it could, but this is not so. A more sophisticated implementation is necessary. We sketch it out here. Alter paper gives a worked example.
