Thermo-hydraulic property measurements from drill core and outcrops near Takhini Hot Springs and in the Tintina fault zone. The Yukon Geological Survey drilled two temperature gradient wells in 2017 and 2018 to evaluate subsurface heat transfer mechanisms and geothermal potential. This dataset provides a heat flow model characterizing geothermal resources in south-central Yukon.
Use Cases
- Model geothermal heat flow based on measured thermal conductivity and hydraulic conductivity.
- Evaluate conductive heat transfer mechanisms based on linear geothermal gradient data.
- Assess geothermal play types in orogenic belts based on fault pathway analysis.
- Characterize subsurface conditions for geothermal exploration based on rock property measurements.
Strengths
- Data originates from two dedicated temperature gradient wells drilled by the Yukon Geological Survey.
- Includes measurements from both drill core and selected outcrops.
- Provides a heat flow model for characterizing geothermal potential.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
