In the upper crust, where hydraulic gradients are typically< 1 MPa km− 1, advective heat
transport is often effective for permeabilities k≥ 10− 16 m² and advective mass (solute) …

The German Continental Deep Drilling Program (KTB) was designed to study the properties
and processes of the deeper continental crust by means of superdeep borehole. Major …

We propose a continental lithosphere heat production model based on the petrology of crust
and mantle, heat production measurements of surface and xenolith samples, and tectono …

A Monte Carlo inverse method has been used on the temperature profiles measured down
through the Greenland Ice Core Project (GRIP) borehole, at the summit of the Greenland Ice …

For many years, in situ stress in the brittle crust has been measured at relatively shallow
depth and related to the mechanical behavior of the crust as inferred from laboratory studies …

A fluid injection‐induced seismicity experiment was conducted in the German Continental
Deep Drilling Program (KTB) main borehole at 9.1 km depth (in situ temperature of 260° C) …

Even a cursory historical look at the development of geology reveals that the cooling of the
Earth has always been a central issue (Birch, 1965; Fourier, 1824; Holmes, 1915; Joly …

The natural fracture system exerts a significant influence on the physical and mechanical
properties of rock masses. The heat transfer in fractured rock masses is much more …

This study presents new down-hole zircon (U–Th)/He (ZrHe) ages, laboratory He diffusion
measurements, and numerical thermal modeling of ZrHe ages from the Continental Deep …

We compare heat flow data from the Precambrian shields in North America and in South
Africa. We also review data available in other less well-sampled Shield regions. Variations …
