Yukon Geothermal Potential Data with Borehole and Thermal Spring Locations

A compilation of geothermal potential data for the Yukon, derived from historical subsurface thermal data. The dataset includes borehole locations in Yukon and near the border in the Northwest Territories, as well as thermal springs in Yukon and bordering areas of British Columbia, Northwest Territories, and Alaska. It is provided by the Government of Yukon and was last updated on March 25, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map geothermal resource potential based on borehole thermal data.
• Analyze the distribution of thermal springs for energy prospecting.
• Model subsurface thermal gradients using historical data compilations.

Strengths

• Includes data from multiple jurisdictions (Yukon, NWT, BC, Alaska).
• Derived from historical subsurface thermal data compilations.
• Last updated on March 25, 2026.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
