Description:
Antarctic geothermal heat flow (GHF) affects the ice sheet temperature, determining how it slides and internally
deforms, as well as the rheological behaviour of the lithosphere. However, GHF remains poorly constrained, with few
borehole-derived estimates, and there are large discrepancies in currently available glaciological and geophysical
estimates. This SCAR White Paper details current methods, discusses their challenges and limitations, and
recommends key future directions in GHF research. We highlight the timely need for a more multidisciplinary and
internationally-coordinated approach to tackle this complex problem.
