Abstract

In this article we report 5 terrestrial heat flow points along the southern Tan-Lu Fault Zone based on the first systematic deep borehole temperature measurements and thermal conductivities of 128 rock samples. All the temperature logs after 1 m spacing is plotted. The thermal properties test data of all samples have been collated separately, and the thermal conductivity correction data for different depths is presented. In combination with steady state temperature and thermal properties testing, the vertical variation of heat flow is calculated. Detailed interpretation of this data can be found in a research article titled "Heat flow, heat production, thermal structure and its tectonic implication of the southern Tan-Lu Fault Zone, East-Central China" (Wang et al., 2019) [1].
