Zamora, M., Vo-Thanh, D., Bienfait, G. and Poirier, J.P. (1993). An empirical relationship between thermal conductivity and elastic wave velocities in sandstone. Geophysical Research Letters 20: doi: 10.1029/92GL02460. issn: 0094-8276.

Measurements in three samples of very clean quartz sandstone in the porosity range 4--16%, under dry and 100% water-saturated conditions, show that P- and S-wave velocities are linearly correlated with thermal conductivity. The experimental results agree with the theoretical relation between seismic velocities [predicted by the Kuster and Toks¿z model (1974)> and thermal conductivity (predicted by weighted geometric mean). ¿ American Geophysical Union 1993
