Abstract: The main objective of this study is to report an update of the surface heat flow database of México. To our knowledge, this work is the first data compilation that integrates existing published and unpublished measurements to create a new heat flow map using a variety of data sources from 108 sites (transient borehole temperatures and temperature-depth profiles). Heat flow measurements in México are still relatively sparse. Updates of heat flow and geological data is required for a better understanding of the thermal regime of México, an accurate characterization of heat flow provinces, and to create a consistent geothermal map.
