ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to provide a generic temperature data set of subsurface rock formation within the South-West of Manitoba, CA using numerical modeling. Two sites at Manson and Tilston, MB were modeled at steady state, and the simulation results of the selected locations were calibrated using the observed borehole data and estimated temperatures by Grasby, et al. (2012). The final data set contains surface temperature (from 0) to 1960 meters depth.

RÉSUMÉ: Le but de cette recherche est de fournir un ensemble générique de données concernant les températures de formation rocheuse souterraine dans le Sud-Ouest du Manitoba, au Canada, et ceci en utilisant la modélisation numérique. Deux sites à Manson et Tilston ont été modélisés à régime permanent. Les résultats de simulation ont été étalonnés en utilisant les données de forage observées ainsi que les températures estimées par Grasby et al. (2012). L'ensemble de données final contient les températures de surface (de 0) à 1960 mètres de profondeur.
