Heat Field of Caucasus In the presented work the results of studying of a heat flow distribution and calculations of temperatures of the Crust of the tectonically and seismic active Caucasian region are given. The distribution of a heat flow is made on the basis of the experimental data and also on the basis of the calculated flow values. Temperature calculation was performed by solving the heat equation. Study region was covered with equal-step grid and in its node bedding depths of boundary surfaces are known. The temperature calculations were performed at the nodes of the lattice at the bottom of the sedimentary complex, and at the border of Conrad and Moho. The calculations take into account the dependence of the coefficient of thermal conductivity of rocks on temperature
