These measurements, complemented by the heat flow determination made at Site 402 during Leg 48 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (Erickson et al; this volume) provide information on the thermal regime of the margin.The main observation is that the regional heat flux over the margin is substantially lower than over the adjacent Western European continental area.We suggest in this report that the observed heat flux contrast provides constraints on the debatable nature of the crustal thinning processes under the margin.
