Temperature variations and thermal properties of the Earth influence many processes and features of interest to geoscientists, and a diverse array of geoscientists have used thermal data in a variety of applications. However, heat flow is a relatively small field in terms of the number of specialists—barely more than 200 worldwide—and non‐specialist users of thermal data commonly lack the basic knowledge and understanding necessary to avoid errors in application and interpretation. Crustal Heat Flow, A Guide to Measurement & Modeling , by G. R. Beardsmore and J. P. Cull, promises to provide the necessary background to ensure accuracy in analysis of thermal data, and to function as a handbook for all geologists and geophysicists who analyze thermal data.
