Development and calibration of a thermal conductivity probe apparatus for use in the field and laboratory

An important property in the solution of geothermal problems is the thermal conductivity of the ground. Data on conductivity of soils, particularly in permafrost areas, are extremely scarce owing in part to the fact that a relatively inexpensive and simple apparatus has not been available for measur...
