The Global Heat Flow Database is the global compilation of the world heat flow data maintained by the International Heat Flow Commission (IHFC) of the IASPEI. It is a collaborative project between academia and industry that aims to support the process understanding of the Earth’s thermal field by providing authenticated heat flow data. The GHFDB commenced in 1963 with the foundation of the IHFC collected data of the international geoscientific community produced since 1939. Currently, the database is in a process of transformation to ensure quality-proofed, validated and community-driven data within a modern database framework.
