An instrument that combines subsurface temperature measurements with constraints on thermal conductivity to estimate a local heat flux. Multiple sensor depths help separate a stable geothermal gradient from surface-temperature transients and installation disturbance. Conductive heat flow can differ from total heat transport where fluid circulation carries substantial energy.
