A numerical approach to infer terrestrial heat flux from shallow temperature profiles in remote northern regions

摘要: Abstract Assessing the geothermal potential in remote northern regions is challenging. First, due to remoteness and, second, data gaps. Often, Earth heat flux inferred from deep equilibrium temperature profiles. However, areas where boreholes are nonexistent, an adapted methodology needed. Therefore, this study presents a new versatile and reliable numerical approach that simulates climate events infers shallow profile (80 m depth). Thus, addressing challenge linked with assessment offering original contribution advance research facing energy development challenges.
