Joint fitting of heat flow and bathymetry yields a model with a hotter, thinner lithosphere than in previous models.

This will facilitate the analysis of lithospheric processes, including the effects of mid-plate volcanism and swells, regional subsidence, and hydrothermal circulation near spreading centres.
