The regional subsurface temperature field at the transition between the Palaeozoic Variscan Basement and the Cenozoic Lower Rhine Basin in Dutch, German and Belgium territories was mapped up to a depth of 1000 m. Temperature data from 66 wells and 11 coal mine subcrops were available. In 46 wells, temperature logs, covering a cumulative depth interval of 6600 m, were measured for this study.
