DOI: 10.1007/s40948-020-00170-0
Abstract: Geothermal resource quantification requires underground temperature and volume information, which can be challenging to accurately assess at the regional scale. The analytical solution for steady-state heat conduction with internal heat generation is often used to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40517-018-0115-2
Abstract: Regions with low or medium surface heat flow in stable cratonic areas, such as in eastern Canada, have received little attention for geothermal energy. In the presence of a high heat-producing basement overlain by a… read more here.
