Short summary
The Global Heat Flow Database grew from 58,302 data points in 2012 to 91,182 in 2024, with enhanced quality assessments. Despite this, gaps in data and methodological details persist, especially in underrepresented regions. The database is crucial for geophysical, geothermal, and environmental research, offering valuable insights into Earth's thermal processes.
