Literature Review
The Global Heat Flow Database (GHFDB) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of data quality. To achieve this, we have implemented a rigorous literature review process that ensures all datasets are thoroughly vetted before being made publicly available.

A comparison of terrestrial heat flow and transient geomagnetic fluctuations in the southwestern United States
Magnetic time-variations between Tucson, Arizona and Sweetwater, Texas indicate that a zone of high electrical conductivity underlies the southwestern United States. The interpretation of this zone by Schmucker as a rise of the isotherms in the upper mantle is supported by six heat flow observations along the line of the geomagnetic profile. These and other observations indicate a high but variable heat flow in the Basin and Range Province which contrasts strongly with the uniform values of 1.1 mu cal/cm 2 sec reported for the Texas Foreland. The width of this high heat flow anomaly, which may extend across the …

Rapid heat-flow surveying of geothermal areas, utilizing individual snowfalls as calorimeters
Local differences in rate of heat transfer in vapor and by conduction through the ground in hot spring areas are difficult and time-consuming to measure quantitatively. Individual heavy snowfalls provide a rapid low-cost means of measuring total heat flow from such ground. After a favorable snowfall (heavy, brief duration, little wind, air temperature near 0°C), contacts between snow-covered and snow-free ground are mapped on a suitable base. Each mapped contact, as time elapses after a specific snowfall, is a heat-flow contour representing a decreasing rate of flow. Calibration of each mapped contact or snow line is made possible by the …

Temperature Measurements in the Bottom Layers of the Red Sea Brines
Detailed measurements of temperatures in the water layers immediately above the sediments in Atlantis II and Discovery Deeps are presented. In the bottom 60m of Discovery Deep there is a cooling of 0.5°C as the sediment is approached; above 60m the temperature gradient is adiabatic except for a discrete temperature change at 80m. The water column at the bottom in Atlantis II Deep is stable. These results suggest periodic outflow of hot saline water from Atlantis II Deep into Discovery Deep.
Analysis of Heat Flow Data—I Detailed Observations in a Single Borehole
Heat flow data from a 600-m deep diamond drilled borehole has been used to estimate how short a section of borehole will give a valid heat flow value, to test for recent and ancient climatic changes, underground water-flows and the variation of terrestrial heat flow with depth. Temperatures were repeatedly measured at 3-m intervals; measurements of thermal conductivity, density and porosity were made on specimens sampled at approximately 4-m intervals along the length of the hole. The mean heat flow for the whole borehole before applying any corrections is 0·76 h.f.u. while after correcting for the Wisconsin glaciation the mean …

Thermal measurements in the Red Sea hot brine pools
Fourteen thermal gradient measurements in the sediments beneath the Atlantis II Deep show large temperature variations both with location in the deep and vertically within individual measurements. Maximum sediment temperature observed was 62.3°C. Thermal gradients ranging from 3.75°C/m (hotter at depth) to −0.87°C/m (cooler at depth) were found, with a tendency for gradients in regions of high absolute temperature to be small or slightly negative.
