The 6th International Workshop on Heat Flow and the Structure of the Lithosphere was hosted by the Geophysical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and held under the auspices of the International Heat Flow Commission. The workshop was held June 5-10, 2006 at the Castle Farm Bykov (near Pilsen), Czech Republic.
Special issue to the results of the workshop: Terrestrial heat flow: Recent advances in modeling and interpretation, Bykov Castle, June 5-10, 2006 V.Cermak and V.M.Hamza (Eds.), International Journal of Earth Sciences (Geologische Rundschau), Volume 97, Number 2, Pages 201-442 (2006).
