Abstract
Current understanding of the temperature distribution in the Australian continent is based on sparse and unevenly distributed borehole temperature measurements, and even fewer heat flow determinations. To address this, the Geothermal Project at Geoscience Australia (GA), initiated under the $58.9M Onshore Energy Security Program, has established a capability for determining surface heat flow across the country through temperature logging and thermal conductivity measurement. This abstract describes the GA heat flow data collection programme, its current status, and potential applications for the new data that is being collected.
