Deep carbon emissions from volcanoes

MR Burton, GM Sawyer… - Reviews in Mineralogy …, 2013‏ - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Over long periods of time (~ Ma), we may consider the oceans, atmosphere and biosphere
as a single exospheric reservoir for CO2. The geological carbon cycle describes the inputs …

Remobilization of crustal carbon may dominate volcanic arc emissions

E Mason, M Edmonds, AV Turchyn - Science, 2017‏ - science.org
The flux of carbon into and out of Earth's surface environment has implications for Earth's
climate and habitability. We compiled a global data set for carbon and helium isotopes from …
