Summary: The geothermal compilation contains data sets related to geothermal potential in the Yukon. The data included in this dataset are derived from a variety of sources including historical subsurface thermal data compilations. The compilation includes boreholes in Yukon and near the border in the Northwest Territories as well as thermal springs in Yukon and some in bordering areas of British Columbia, Northwest Territories and Alaska.

Description
The geothermal compilation contains data sets related to geothermal potential in the Yukon. The data included in this dataset are derived from a variety of sources including historical subsurface thermal data compilations. The compilation includes: 1) boreholes from which temperature data was collected in Yukon and near the border in the Northwest Territories; 2) thermal springs, including water chemistry and temperature, in Yukon and in bordering areas of British Columbia, Northwest Territories and Alaska; and 3) radiogenic heat production values calculated from lithogeochemical analyses compiled by the Yukon Geological Survey (https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/Compilation/35). These data are presented as overlay to the Curie point depth map of Yukon, calculated using global data of Li et al. (2017).
