An attempt to define Curie point depths in Greece from aeromagnetic and heat flow data

The objective of this study is to understand the nature and extent of the regional geothermal system at depth beneath the area of Greece by constructing the Curie isotherms.Spectral analysis of aeromagnetic data in conjunction with heat flow information revealed an almost inverse linear relation between heat flow and Curie depths and was used to construct the Curie isotherms from the existing heat flow data.The results showed that Curie depths in the area range from about 20 km in western Greece, up to 1 km beneath the Hellenic volcanic arc. These results are consistent with the existing geothermal and geotectonic regime in the area.
