Overview

This volume focuses on the study of sedimentary basins, stressing essential parts of problems in which geothermics are involved. Subject matter includes the measuring of temperature logs and capturing of industrial temperature data and their interpretation to delineate subsurface conditions and processes. The importance of porosity and pore filling for modelling thermal fields is also explored, as is the thermal insulation of shales; geothermal anomalies associated with mud diapirs and basin hydrodynamic regimes and temperatures related to magmatic underplating and plate tectonics.
