Objective
One of the most important problems in lithospheric geophysics is to understand the heat transfer processes in the Earth's crust. Work done so far with geothermal data from the Kola superdeep hole in Russia and the Continental Deep Drilling Programme KTB holes in Germany has revealed the importance of the many contributing factors such as advective heat transfer, conductive refraction of heat and palaeoclimatic surface temperature changes. However, the relative contribution of these factors remains unclear because of poorly constrained temperature and groundwater flow fields in the surroundings of these deep holes.
This project aims at compiling, analysing and interpreting a high-quality dataset to be collected in the Kola deep hole area, including the logging of temperature in tens of 1-2 km deep boreholes existing around the deep hole, measurements of rock thermal properties in the laboratory and of hydraulic properties in situ.
A dataset of heat flow density will provide an excellent constraint for heat transfer models of the area. This project provides a unique opportunity to produce one of the world's best geothermal data collections. It will considerably increase the current understanding of crustal heat transfer processes.
