Abstract
The thermal conductivity of a geological formation is an essential physical property to be determined when attempting to understand and model heat flow. The Portable Electronic Divided Bar (PEDB) is an effective tool in measuring thermal conductivity and is currently playing an important role in the development of heat flow modelling of Australian geothermal resources.
