Abstract
Past changes in the Earth’s surface energy balance are recorded in the ground as perturbations of the subsurface thermal regime. We reconstruct surface heat flux histories from temperature versus depth profiles measured at 246 sites distributed across Canada. We show that heat flowing into the ground has been about 28.3 mWm- 2 in the last 100 years. Spatial variability is significant and indicates that the largest energy gain is in the southern areas of Canada.
