Heat Flow in Western Canada

Heat flow values have been determined for three areas in western Canada by a combination of temperature gradient measurements in abandoned oil wells, and thermal conductivity determinations on core samples. The heat flux ranges from 1.46 × 10−6 cal cm−2 s−1 in central Alberta to 2.00 × 10−6 cal cm−2...
