Abstract

At Hole 511, on the margin of Maurice Ewing Bank, successful bottom hole temperature measurements were made at 52.5 and 113m below the seafloor. The results show a regular increase of temperature with depth of 0.074oCm-1. Conductivity measurements on core samples, gave a mean value of 0.842W oC-1m-1. The heat flow indicated by these observations is 62.3mWm-2 (1.49HFU), a value that is compatible with the geological evolution of the plateau.-from Authors Hole 511 Maurice Ewing Bank bottom hole temperature measurements conductivity measurements on core samples geological evolution of the plate DSDP/ Leg71 Falkland Plateau
