We suggest an approach to infer the steady-state conductive heat flow in tectonically active regions. New heat flow data were inferred through a minimization technique taking into account temperatures, radiogenic heat production and the thermal conductivity variation with depth from deep wells. The method was generally successful in...

Periodic revisions of the Global Heat Flow Database (GHFD) take place under the auspices of the International Heat Flow Commission (IHFC) of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI). A growing number of heat-flow values, advances in scientific methods, digitization, and ...
