Popis: Heat flow is estimated at eight sites drilled during the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 385 into the Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California. The expedition sought to understand the thermal regime of the basin and heat transfer between off-axis sills intruding the organic-rich sediments of the Guaymas Basin, and the basin floor. The distinct sedimentation rates, active tectonics, and magmatism makes the basin interesting for scientific discoveries. Results show sedimentation corrected heat flow values range 119-221 mW/m2 in the basin and 257-1003 mW/m2 at the site of a young sill intrusion, denominated Ringvent. Thermal analysis shows that heat in the Guaymas Basin is being dissipated by conduction for plate ages >0.2 Ma, whereas younger plate ages are in a state of transient cooling by both conduction and advection. Drilling sites show that Ringvent is an active sill being cooled down slowly by circulating fluids with discharge velocities 10–200 mm/yr. Possible recharge sites are located ~1 km away from the sill's border. Modeling of the heat output at Ringvent indicates a sill thickness of ~240 m. A simple order-of-magnitude model predicts that relatively small amounts of magma are needed to account for the elevated heat flow in non-volcanic, sediment-filled rifts like the central and northern Gulf of California in which heating of the upper crust is achieved via advection by sill emplacement and hydrothermal circulation. Multiple timescales of cooling control the crustal, chemical and biological evolution of the Guaymas Basin. Here we recognize at least four timescales: the time interval between intrusions (~103 yr), the thermal relaxation time of sills (~104 yr), the characteristic cooling time of the sediments (~105 yr), and the cooling of the entire crust at geologic timescales.
