Borehole temperature profiling

Borehole temperature profiling involves measuring the temperature at various depths below the Earth's surface using a drilled hole. These measurements help scientists understand how heat from the Earth's interior and surface influences subsurface temperatures over time. This data can reveal information about geothermal energy potential, past climate changes, and underground characteristics. By analyzing temperature variations at different depths, researchers can create a temperature profile, which serves as a valuable tool for geothermal exploration and understanding the Earth's thermal behavior in specific locations.
