Temperatures in shallow marine sediments : influence of thermal properties , seasonal forcing, and man-made heat sources.

The thermal histories of sedimentary basins and their effect on organic maturation. The focus of large-scale thermal events, such as an initial rifting event, that affect temperatures in a basin. Events of less global significance, however, are more important to the internal temperatures of a sedimentary basin. Such effects as internal thermal events (magma intrusion, diaparism), contrasts in heat production of U, Th, and K in the sediments and underlying basement, large- and small-scale flow of fluid, and thermal conductivity variations, both vertical and horizontal, can raise or lower temperatures much more than lithospheric-scale events. Temperature variations related to thermal conductivity variations are illustrated using precision temperature-gradient logs from various sedimentary basin settings. including laboratory measurements on cuttings and core samples, in direct measurements, inference from well log measurements of travel time, gamma-ray activity and so forth, conversion of seismic reflection travel time to thermal resistance, and inversion of detailed temperature logs. Laboratory measurements are in some cases unreliable, especially for shales, one of the most abundant sedimentary lithologies.
