Abstract
In Finland, which belongs to the area of the Baltic Shield, 18 heat flow measurements have been carried out in drill holes varying in vertical depth between 389 and 1060 m. The temperature gradient has varied from 9.4 to 24.6 mKm−1, the mean being 12.6 mKm−1. The vertical heat flow has ranged between 21.8 and 50.4 mWm−2, the mean being 35.O±1.6 mWm−2. These figures do not include glacial corrections, which would slightly increase the values of the temperature gradient and the heat flow.
