Along-arc, inter-arc and arc-to-arc variations in volcanic gas CO2/ST ratios reveal dual source of carbon in arc volcanism

A Aiuppa, TP Fischer, T Plank, P Robidoux… - Earth-Science …, 2017 - Elsevier
Some 300–600 Tg of volatiles are globally vented each year by arc volcanism. Such arc gas
emissions have contributed to past and present-day evolution of the Earth atmosphere and …
