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.

Heat flow in the Uinta Basin determined from bottom hole temperature (BHT) data
A note on drillhole depths required for reliable heat flow determinations
In general, there is a limiting depth in a drillhole above which the reliability of a single determination of heat flow decreases rapidly with decreasing depth and below which the statistical uncertainty of a heat flow determination does not change perceptibly with increasing depth. This feature has been established empirically for a test case comprising a group of twelve heat flow sites in the Republic of Zambia. The technique consists of constructing heat flow versus depth curves for individual sites by progressively discarding data from the lower part of the hole and recomputing heat flow from the remaining data. For …

First heat flow density assessments in Cuba
The first determinations of heat flow density in Cuba are reported. Precise temperature loggings were carried out in 12 holes in the western and central parts of Cuba. Along the northwestern shore, the mean temperature gradient ranges from 14–16 mK/m in the Pinar del Rio province and 18–22 mK/m east of Habana to 30 mK/m in northern Matanzas. In the Central Basin it ranges from 23–24 mK/m west of Ciego de Avila to 28–39 mK/m east of Sancti Spiritus. Rock samples for laboratory determination of thermal conductivity could be collected only from two holes in Pinar del Rio; their mean …

Preliminary results of geological and geophysical surveys in the Ross Sea and in the Dumont d'Urville Sea, off Antarctica
Geological and geophysical surveys in the Ross Sea and in the Dumont d'Urville Sea were carried out in the 1982-1983 Antarctic summer season. The presence of two large basins, namely the Eastern Basin lying to the east of the 180 meridian and the Central Basin trending north-south along 175 E, in the Ross Sea region was confirmed and the maximum sedimentary thickness in the two basins was estimated at approximately 6 km. The six-fold seismic reflection profiles indicate seven depositional sequences, which consist mainly of deltaic sediments with admixed glacial sediments in the Eastern Basin. Similar sediments were deposited in …
