What is Rethinking Rifting Heat Flow Models about?
1) The McKenzie model for estimating heat flow during rifting overestimates heat flow by not accounting for the loss of radiogenic heat production from crust thinning during rifting. Radiogenic heat production from the crust contributes around 40-50% of surface heat flow. 2) Accounting for the loss of radiogenic heat production from the crust, the model presented estimates a much lower synrift heat flow was experienced during rifting compared to the McKenzie model. This has implications for the timing of o
