Thermal Conductivity

This spreadsheet indicates the content requested for features representing thermal conductivity observations. Design is focused on thermal conductivity measurements/observations portrayed as geospatial points with an associated depth, TC value, headerURI, construction information, and related resources. Thermal Conductivity data for the geothermal data system is intended as a tool to identify areas that may be favorable for geothermal[EP1]  energy production.  Each record should contain measurement values, location, measurement type, and citations for the data.

Discussion

This template defines the content model for a service that delivers thermal conductivity observations. Many of these will be standard map location and measurement values, but other information may be delivered. Much of the variation will concern procedures used to record events, citations, and other collected data that may be useful for geothermal resource research. The Thermal Conductivity content model is designed to be used for data compilation [EP2] from published reports, databases, laboratory analysis[EP3] , and field notes. This content model  is intended to present key information necessary to query a thermal conductivity observation service and  evaluate the data.
