Isostatic compensation of the Earth crust is discussed. Using the ETOPO1 digital elevation model and gravity data a Moho model and isostatic anomalies field was constructed for the area of Ukrainian Carpathians, bounded by: φ=47.30÷50,300 N, λ=22÷270 E. Technique for isostatic anomalies calculation is described. Relation between the isostatic anomalies and main tectonics units of region is defined.
