Overview
- Offers a clear overview of the thermal structure of the Earth
- Gives an insight into the formation processes and upwelling mechanisms of magma
- Presents an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of magma solidification, which involve phase change, and cooling of both intrusive igneous bodies and lava covers
- Introduces the methods for measuring the thermal properties and the radiogenic heat of rocks
- Presents analytical methods for the quantitative inference of the groundwater flow from analyses of subsurface temperature data
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
