“…3) whereas the latter is obtained from the systematics of heat flux and heat production data at different scales, as described in several papers (e.g., Jaupart and Mareschal, 1999;Mareschal and Jaupart, 2004;Perry et al, 2006aPerry et al, , 2006bLévy and Jaupart, 2011). Independent constraints on the value of the Moho heat flux have been derived from geothermobarometry studies on mantle xenoliths (Rudnick et al, 1998;Kukkonen and Peltonen, 1999;Russell et al, 2001).…”
