Investigation into the Temperature Fields of the Carboniferous Rock Mass in the Czech Part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin

A new spatial distribution model of primary temperature values for the carboniferous massif in the Czech part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin was the final output of the presented project. The main purpose of this spatial modelling and data visualisation was to create an image of the area's complex topological arrangement based on the available data. Following the generated thermal model, a 3D map of OKR temperature fields at around 1000 m depth was generated. In order to determine the temperature at a particular position in the thermal model, an executable plugin was created. It is also possible to import the final thermal model of the carboniferous massif in the Czech part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin into commercial computational software for the determination of appropriate mine air conditions.
