Novyye dannyye o teplovom potoke Severnoy Atlantiki (New heat flow data of the North Altlantic)
Vitaly Akhmedzyanov, Alexander V Ermakov
This dataset comprises 41 new heat flow measurements collected during two marine expeditions in 2008 and 2010 in the Arctic region west of the Svalbard Archipelago, including the Knipovich Ridge area in the North Atlantic. These measurements provide evidence for elevated geothermal activity consistent with recent geodynamic processes. Numerical modeling using these data reveals deep lithospheric temperatures exceeding 1200°C at depths of approximately 15 km, supporting the interpretation of Knipovich Ridge as a young oceanic rift formed since the Miocene. These data offer valuable constraints for thermal modeling of the North Atlantic lithosphere and contribute to the understanding of Arctic …
