Crustal Heat Flow: A Guide to Measurement and Modeling is a
handbook for geologists and geophysicists who manipulate thermal
data, particularly for petroleum exploration. In theory and with
practical examples the book discusses the sources of heat within
the crust, describes how to maximise the accuracy of temperature
data, covers the measurement of the thermal properties of rocks,
and explains a number of maturity indicators. The second part
covers a range of thermodynamic models of the lithosphere and shows
how these can be used to reconstruct the thermal history of
individual sedimentary basins. This book will be regarded as a
long-term reference source for professionals and researchers. It
will also form the basis of advanced undergraduate and graduate
student courses in geology, geophysics, engineering, mining, and
environmental science, and will be a valuable text for petroleum
industry training schemes.
