It is shown experimentally that the equation for heat flow in a finite cylinder [Formula: see text] can be effectively used with lethality data for the controlling organism to calculate sterilization times for fisheries products packed solidly into cylindrical cans.

<p>Heat flow data contribute to the imaging the lithospheric thermal structure, which greatly influences tectonic and geological processes and constrains the strength of the lithosphere, the modes of deformation, and the depth distribution of earthquakes. To provide more reliable estimation of the lithospheric thermal structure, some complementary approaches are possible. One of approaches is to update and incorporate the existing thermal data. A new version of database “Thermal Data Collection in and around Japan”, which contains continuously updated of heat flow and geothermal gradient data and adds thermal conductivity data in and around Japan, has been released in March 2019 [https://www.gsj.jp/data/G01M/GSJ_MAP_TDCJ_2019.zip]. This provides an opportunity to revisit the thermal state of the lithosphere along with other geophysical/geochemical constraints and on the lithospheric rheology and deformation, which is sensitive to temperature.</p>

Thermal Conductivities

Temperature and heat flow data carry specific information about the distribution of thermal conductivity variations which is not available in other geophysical data sets. Thus, thermal data constitute important complementary data sets in the multiphysics-based imaging and characterization of earth’s subsurface. The quantitative interpretations that accompany this effort can be carried out by determining thermal conductivities from temperature or heat flow data. Towards this goal, we develop inversion methods based on Tikhonov regularization and numerical solution of the differential equations governing the steady-state heat equation. Numerical simulations using these methods yield insights into the information content in thermal data and indicate it is similar to that in potential-field data. We apply the temperature inversion method to borehole temperature data from the Cooper Basin in Australia, a well-studied geothermal prospect. The methods and insights presented in this study pave the way for imaging the subsurface through recovered thermal conductivities and for joint quantitative interpretations of thermal data with other common geophysical data sets in various geoscientific applications.

Heat flow and radioactive heat generation have been measured and the data compiled across southern British Columbia in the region of the Lithoprobe Southern Canadian Cordillera Transect. Heat flow in the trench-arc zone between the continental margin and the Garibaldi volcanic belt is very low, but in the volcanic belt it is high and very irregular. Farther inland, to the east, the heat flow is moderately high, with the highest values in southeastern British Columbia, associated with high surface radioactive heat production. The thermal data from the central and eastern interior of southern British Columbia define a single heat-flow province with a reduced heat flow of 63 mW/m2 flowing into the upper crust. This indicates a warm, thin lithosphere similar to that of the Basin and Range of the United States to the south. Occurrences of seismic reflective bands in the lower crust of the Cordillera were compared with temperatures calculated from surface heat flow and heat generation using a simple one-dimensional conductive model. The 450 °C isotherm corresponds approximately to the brittle– ductile transition, and deeper crust may be rheologically detached from the upper crust. Where the thermal data approximately coincide with the transect seismic reflection lines, the 450 °C isotherm often corresponds to the top of characteristic sub-horizontal reflector bands, as found in Phanerozoic areas elsewhere around the world. The lower limit of the reflective band in a number of Cordilleran reflection sections is near the 730 °C isotherm, which corresponds to the transition from present "wet" amphibolite- to "dry" granulite-facies conditions. This control of the depth to the deep crustal reflective bands by present temperature provides support for the model of the reflectors being produced by fluids trapped at lithostatic pressure (layered porosity), a model that can also explain the high electrical conductivity in the deep crust of the area. The probable rheological detachment of the lower crust and a possible nonstructural origin of the deep reflectors require that interpreted lower crustal structural boundaries such as the top of the basement of the North American craton under the Lithoprobe Southern Canadian Cordillera Transect be treated with caution. However, there is no doubt that many seismic reflectors are related to crustal structures, and the model is presented as an explanation for bands of seismic reflectors in the lower Phanerozoic crust, not as a model for all seismic reflectors.
