Terrestrial heat flow and the lithosphere structure : [International Meeting on Terrestrial Heat Flow and the Lithosphere Structure june 1-6, 1987, in Bechyně, Czechoslovakia

**Terrestrial Heat Flow and the Lithosphere Structure** summarizes current problems of analyzing related data. The individual chapters are written by leading scientists in geothermics, and are arranged in three sections: - General Lithospheric Geothermics - Regional Lithospheric Geothermics - Worldwide Heat Flow Density Studies. Emphasis is laid on the interrelations between lithospheric structure and local heat flow fields.
