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.

Surface heat flow and igneous intrusion in the Cambay Basin, India
Heat flow values from some additional locations in the Cenozoic Cambay Basin have been determined. Together with the previously published data, they show that the heat flow is moderate (55–67 mW/m′) in the southern part of the basin towards Broach and Ankleswar, and that there is a clear trend of high heat flow (75–93 mW/m2; range of average values for six different, widely separated, locations) in a part of the basin located north of the Mahisagan river between Cambay and Mehsana along a stretch of about 140 km. Conductive steady state geotherms, calculated using observed high surface heat flow values …

Heat flow studies of spreading center hydrothermal processes
The mechanisms of crustal cooling and heat transfer in young ocean crust, particularly hydrothermal convection, were studied with oceanic heat flow measurements. Separate investigations at four eastern Pacific spreading centers emphasize the role of the sediment cover in controlling the modes of heat transfer from the ocean crust. Heat transfer processes at the mounds area of the Galapagos Spreading Center at 86(DEGREES)W, were revealed by temperatures measured at (DBLTURN) 10 m intervals in the 30 (+OR-) 10 m sediment at each of 12 holes at DSDP Leg 70 Sites 506-509, and by temperatures of 5 thermistors on 11 8-12 m …
