Key Points
First heat flow measurements from the Coompana Province, southern Australia, indicate values of 40–70 mW/m2 (57 ± 3 mW/m2 average)
A tectonically reconstructed heat flow map constrains the thermal regime of geological provinces formerly contiguous with East Antarctica
Geophysical models of Antarctic heat flow are likely underestimating crustal sources of radiogenic heat that influence subglacial melting
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
