Abstract
Some available information on thermal conductivity of earth materials from the Scandinavian area is collected. The mean conductivities as reported from individual localities are grouped in crystalline and sedimentary rocks. Mean results are displayed in histograms and locatites are mapped. The collocation of conductivity information contains new results of granites and sedimentary rocks from Sweden and of limestone's and clays from Danish borings. The new values are presented as histograms of individual measurements and given as mean values with standard errors of mean. The crystalline rocks range from -1 to -4 and the sedimentary rocks range from -0.8 to -6.
