To address Issue #778, I implemented the continental geotherm profile for the Continental Plate model, using the 1-D steady state heat equation from Chapman (1986):
where$T$ is temperature in K, $z$ is depth, $T_t$ is the top surface temperature of the feature in K (denoted 'top temperature' in the input file), $q_t$ is the top surface heat flux in W $\text{m}^{-1}$ $\text{K}^{-1}$ ('top heat flux'), $k$ is the thermal conductivity in W $\text{m}^{-1}$ $\text{K}^{-1}$ ('thermal conductivity'), $A$ is the heat production per unit volume in W $\text{m}^{-3}$ ('heat generation per unit volume'), and $\Delta z$ is change in depth between the current depth and the minimum depth in m.
The test and documentation will be implemented later.
