KONTIKI-Continental Crust and Heat Generation in 3D

Project Leader: Odleiv Olesen

The project aims to increase our knowledge how the heat production in crystalline rocks influences surface heat-flow and the temperature in sedimentary basins on the Norwegian continental shelf.

We develop methods to estimate the radiogene heat production and heat-flow from the basement onshore and offshore Norway . An additional component is to compile the heat-flow data-base for Norway and to make additional measurements.
