An inversion approach has been applied to reconstruct ground surface temperature histories from the simulated profiles and to compare them with the climate,model temperatures. Results support the skill of borehole inversion methods to retrieve long-term temperature trends, and the robustness of using the present-day,borehole network for reconstructing SAT variations.
