Terrestrial Heat Flow and the Lithosphere Structure [Paperback]

Terrestrial Heat Flow and the Lithosphere Structure summarizes current problems of analyzing related data. The individual chapters are written by leading scientists in geothermics, and are arranged in three sections: - General Lithospheric Geothermics - Regional Lithospheric Geothermics - Worldwide Heat Flow Density Studies. Emphasis is laid on the interrelations between lithospheric structure and local heat flow fields.Terrestrial Heat Flow and the Lithosphere Structure summarizes current problems of analyzing related data.
