Crustal Heat Flow: A Guide to Measurement and Modelling is a handbook for geologists and geophysicists who manipulate thermal data, particularly for petroleum exploration. In theory and with practical examples, the book discusses the sources of heat within the crust, describes how to maximize the accuracy of temperature data, covers the measurement of the thermal properties of rocks, and explains a number of maturity indicators. The second part covers a range of thermodynamic models of the lithosphere and shows how these can be used to reconstruct the thermal history of individual sedimentary basins.

Review
"G.R. Beardsmore and J.P. Cull have provided a community of researchers and practicioners of heat flow studies with an information-packed and very welcome resource." Pure and Applied Geophysics
"a book of its time...There is a great deal which can be learned from this book. With its emphasis on sound physics and quantitative examples, the approach or philosophy is admirable and comes across clearly." Australian Society Explorations Geophysicists

Ok,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crustal Heat Flow: A Guide to Measurement and Modelling (Paperback)
I got the book quickly and really at a bargain price. The quality of the physical book is good. The book's content is very practical with many exercises to practice on. I must rely on the editor for the correctness of the results/typos so my rating is purely dependent on this bias. But at a first reading of the first few pages, the book is well designed and written.
