Derrick Hasterok coauthored an analysis of oceanic heat flux measurements used to estimate the Earth's heat loss. Filtering sites by sediment cover and proximity to seamounts reduces the influence of ventilated hydrothermal circulation when testing conductive cooling models.[ref]
Oceanic heat flow: implications for global heat loss by Derrick Hasterok and others. Abstract: database filtering, hydrothermal ventilation and conductive heat loss
Water can carry heat laterally through young oceanic crust, so a local conductive measurement can underestimate the heat lost by the larger region. Survey environment is therefore part of the interpretation.
