Table 1 Material properties assigned to major lithologies in the Sydney–Gunnedah–Bowen Basin. Bracketed numbers indicate one standard deviation from the mean—i.e. mean (std). Units are \(\rho \) = density (kg m\(^{-3}\)), \(k_T\) = thermal conductivity (W m\(^{-1}\)K\(^{-1}\)), \(k_h\) = hydraulic conductivity (m s\(^{-1}\)), H = rate of heat production (W m\(^{-3}\)).
