Abstract
NUMEROUS borehole temperature measurements have been made in the Carpathian Basin during the past seven decades. It has been found that the value of the geothermal gradient lies between 40 and 70 deg. C./km. The causes of this high value have not yet been established, since the thermal conductivity of the rocks has not yet been measured.
