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 northern Thailand
One hundred and two geothermal gradients have been obtained from water wells and mineral and oil prospecting holes in northern and northeastern Thailand. The geothermal gradients vary in the broad range of 8–95 mK/m. Two hundred and sixty-one rock samples and two hundred and nine rock-core samples of various types and formations were collected for the thermal conductivity measurement. A Quick Thermal Conductivity Meter (QTM) was used for the measurements both in wet and dry states: the latter values represent the in-situ condition and, therefore, were used for the heat flow determinations. Heat flow values have been obtained by the …

Oil fields—A source of heat flow data
A method of calculating terrestrial heat flow from oil fields is evaluated by reviewing its application to twelve petroliferous basins, three of them in Brazil and nine in Indonesia. In each well, terrestrial heat flow was calculated by multiplying the temperature gradient (obtained by commonly used procedures) by the effective thermal conductivity. The latter was calculated from quick thermal conductivity measurements on core samples by a transient hot-wire method and from the lithologic log. Typically, in each basin the conductivity of about 300 core specimens was measured and logs of 50–150 wells were examined. In each formation penetrated by a …

Geothermal models for the East Carpathians
In order to explain the high heat flow (73–126 mW m−2) observed at the inner part of the East Carpathians, a model which takes into account the radiogenic heat generation and the descent of a lithospheric plate has been elaborated. Calculated geotherms indicate the presence of a high temperature anomaly (exceeding 1000°C) localized in the upper mantle. The geothermal data suggest that both the high heat flow and the building up of the neo-volcanic chain are consequences of the lithospheric Alpine subduction in the Carpathians area.

Correlated sediment thickness, temperature gradient and excess pore pressure in a marine fault block basin
Measurements of temperature gradient and excess pore pressure in the surficial sediment of a fault block basin in the Guatemala Basin correlate with sediment thickness. The temperature gradient is smaller and the excess pore pressure gradient is more negative in areas of thinner sediment. This correlation is explained by postulating downward pore water advection within the sediments, with flow velocities on the order of 10−9 to 10−8 m/s in the thinnest sediments and much less flow in the thickest sediments. Sediment physical properties and pore water chemistry also support this interpretation. Since the conductive heat flow of the basin as …

Nankai Trough: A hot trench?
Heat flow estimated from the gas hydrate layers on the landward slope of the Nankai Trough reveals that heat flow increases downslope toward the trench floor. This data plus six new heat flow values obtained by a conventional probe and two values available from DSDP drill holes give a fairly detailed heat flow distribution in the Nankai Trough area, when combined with the already existing data set. There appears to be a zonal pattern parallel to the trough axis, with a high heat flow zone on the floor of the trough that is quite anomalous for a subduction zone. It …
