Terrestrial Heat Flow through Salt-Marsh Peat

Two measurements of the temperature gradient in salt-marsh peat made at an interval of 1/2 year permit the upward flow of heat to be estimated as 1.37 $\times $ 10$^{-6}$ cal cm$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$. This value corresponds closely to the average terrestrial heat flow, obtained in mines and wells.
