Improved constraints on crustal composition includes the heat producing elements in the crust. By applying crustal corrections, better estimates of the mantle contribution to heat loss and convective vigor can be estimated. Collaborating with Bill and his graduate student (Scott Wipperfurth), we hope to use the new crustal models to estimate Earth\u2019s thermal budget by incorporating geoneutrino measurements.<\/p><\/div>
