Geothermal Map of Switzerland 1:500000
This national dataset presents a geothermal map of Switzerland at 1:500,000 scale, showing terrestrial heat flow at the Earth's surface expressed in milliwatts per square metre (mW/m2). Values are derived from measured or estimated subsurface temperature gradients (averaging around 30 K/km) combined with rock heat conductivity data. Published by the Swiss Confederation, likely via the Federal Office of Topography (swisstopo), the map provides geospatial information relevant to geothermal energy potential assessment, subsurface research, and environmental studies across Switzerland.The geothermal map shows the thermal energy that is produced in the subsurface and traverses the Earth's surface within an area of 1 m2 (mW/m2). The heat flow data is calculated from the temperature gradient (average value approx. 30 K/km) and heat conductivity of the rock (average value approx. 3…
