For the integration of this dataset, several research articles were collected from the catalog of The Global Heat Flow Data Assessment Project. Specifically, those that reported heat flow values within Mexican territory and in the country's surrounding seas.
The updated database now comprises 1230 heat-flow determinations compiled from 25 different publications. Within this dataset, 49% of the entries represent continental heat-flow data (onshore), while the remaining 51% correspond to marine data (offshore). This data set covers a period from 1970 to 2022. Notably, 92% of the reported heat flow values were obtained via direct temperature measurements (47% through borehole drilling and 45% through probe sensing), while the remaining data (8%) were estimated from indirect methods, such as geothermometer and Curie depth temperature calculations.
The data are presented according to the standards defined by the World Heat Flow Database Project and the International Heat Flow Commission (Fuchs et al., 2023).
The data publication contains the compilation of global heat-flow data by the International Heat Flow Commission (IHFC; www.ihfc-iugg.org) of the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI). The presented data update release 2024 contains data generated between 1939 and 2024 and constitutes the second intermediate update benefiting from the global collaborative assessment and quality control of the Global Heat Flow Database running since May 2021 (http://assessment.ihfc-iugg.org). The data release comprises new original heat-flow data published since April 2023 (the update 2023). It contains 91,182 heat-flow data from 1,586 publications. 57% of the reported heat-flow values are from the continental domain (n ~ 54,553), while the remaining 43% are located in the oceanic domain (n ~ 36,692).

The data publication contains all heat-flow data of offshore in the Guaymas basin. The data release contains data generated between 1959 and 2019 and constitutes a substantial update and extension compared to the last compilation provided by Becker & Fisher (1991). The data set comprises new heat-flow determinations published after 1991 as well as data from before 1991, which were not included in the Becker & Fisher (1991). The resulting updated database contains 487 determinations of heat-flow at 464 locations from 17 publications. 95% of the reported heat-flow values are determined from marine probe sensing technique and 5% in boreholes.
