| Abstract: | The heat production rates of different rocks in the northern Songliao Basin were analyzed by measuring the contents of radioactive heat-producing elements (i.e., U, Th, and K) in the rock samples. U. Th and K have different heat generation contributions, with the contribution of U being greater than those of Th and K. The average heat production rate of sedimentary layers in the northern Songliao Basin was observed to be 1.54–1.91 μW/m3. Finally, this study developed a heat production column for the sedimentary layers in the northern Songliao Basin, which provided essential parameters for investigating the lithospheric thermal structure of this area.
