Assessing the geothermal potential in remote northern regions is challenging. First, due to remoteness and, second, due to data gaps. Often, Earth heat flux is inferred from deep equilibrium temperature profiles. However, in remote areas where deep boreholes are nonexistent, an adapted methodology is needed. Therefore, this study presents a new versatile and reliable numerical approach that simulates climate events and infers heat flux from a shallow temperature profile (80 m depth). Thus, addressing the challenge linked with heat flux assessment in northern regions and offering an original contribution to advance geothermal research in remote areas facing energy development challenges.

评估偏远北部地区的地热潜力具有挑战性。首先是由于距离太远，其次是由于数据缺口。通常，地热通量是由深平衡温度曲线推断出来的。然而，在不存在深孔的偏远地区，需要一种适应性方法。因此，本研究提出了一种新的通用且可靠的数值方法，该方法可以模拟气候事件并从浅层温度曲线（深度为80 m）推断出热通量。因此，应对北部地区与热通量评估有关的挑战，并为在面临能源发展挑战的偏远地区推进地热研究做出了独特的贡献。
