The First Heat Flow Measurements on the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago

详细

This paper reports the heat flow calculations that were made on the basis of the temperature measurements in the boreholes at the Pavlovskoye deposit (Novaya Zemlya), the definition of the thermal conductivity of the rocks sampled from the boreholes, and the estimation of the radiogenic thermal generation in the drilling interval. This gives the first heat flow measurements in the archipelago. The structure of the heat flow in the Novaya Zemlya archipelago is compared with other fold belts of northern Asia.
