Task Force 8 of the International Lithosphere Program (ILP) on Lithospheric Heat Flow – Global Data Assessment Project (2021-2025)

The objective of the ILP Task Force 8 was to support the IHFC in coordinating the Global Heat Flow Data Assessment Project to provide a quality controlled, authenticated global database of heat flow values and other thermal data.
