Abstract
Simple conductive geotherm calculations provide a useful way of illustrating the thermal constraints on metamorphism in teaching senior undergraduate classes. In this article a variety of one-dimensional problems is examined to show the effects of variation in conductivity, heat production and mantle contribution, and also to show the time needed for a rock column to reequilibrate thermally after erosion.
