TL;DR: In this paper, a mesostructural study was carried out in order to investigate the relations between the brittle structures and the main pathways of the uprising vapor at the Donna Rachele area (0.86 km 2, western flank of Mt. Epomeo).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the CO2 emissions and heat flow through soil, steam vents and fractures, and steam heated mud pools in the Reykjanes geothermal area, SW Iceland.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate that there are at least 100 CO2 vents in central Italy, many of which have a history of lethality to animals and humans, and the total CO2 flux from vents alone may be similar to the CO2 emission from the Taupo Volcanic Zone in New Zealand (∼1010 mol yr−1; ∼1200 t d−1) and other areas of high heat flow.

TL;DR: In this article, the total amount of volcanic−hydrothermal CO2 discharged through diffuse degassing has been computed through a sequential Gaussian simulation (sGs) approach based on several hundred accumulation chamber measurements and, at the time of the survey, amounted to 151 t −d−1.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical and isotopic composition of the gas indicates a provenance from the geothermal reservoir and that CO2 is partly originated by thermal metamorphic decarbonation in the hottest deepest parts of the system and partly has a likely mantle origin.
