Piedmont geothermal gradients are low (averaging 27 C/km) but, in the north-central sector of the region, they may reach 31-35 C/km. In particular, this geothermal gradient is near the one of the Simplon area (36 C/km). We therefore revisit the geothermometry of thermal waters throughout the region in the attempt to better decode thermal anomalies and provide some estimates of the geothermal flux in selected key areas.

Abstract
Piedmont geothermal gradients are low (averaging 27 C/km) but, in the north-central sector of the region, they may reach 31-35 C/km. In particular, this geothermal gradient is near the one of the Simplon area (36 C/km). We therefore revisit the geothermometry of thermal waters throughout the region in the attempt to better decode thermal anomalies and provide some estimates of the geothermal flux in selected key areas.
