THE VARIATION OF THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY WITHIN LIMESTONE COMPLEXES IN SELECTED OUTCROPS OF NORTHWESTERN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA

This project is in an initiative taken to understand the heat flow of limestone formation since there are inadequate studies of thermal conductivity on limestone formation especially in Northwestern Peninsular Malaysia. General geology of selected outcrops in Langkawi, Perlis and Simpang Pulai, Pera...
