We present new determinations of bolometric corrections and effective temperature scales as a function of infrared and optical colors, using a large database of photometric observations of about 6500 Population II giants in Galactic Globular Clusters (GGCs), covering a wide range in metallicity (-2.0<[Fe/H]<0.0). New relations for BC_K vs (V-K), (J-K) and BC_V vs (B-V), (V-I), (V-J), and new calibrations for T_eff, using both an empirical relation and model atmospheres, are provided. Moreover, an empirical relation to derive the R parameter of the Infrared Flux Method as a function of the stellar temperature is also presented.
