Characteristics of Carbon Dioxide Emissions from a Seismically Active Fault

Seismically active faults are key features of the earth, and earthquake-induced carbon dioxide released from natural faults has been detected. But the link between active fault deformation and amounts of carbon dioxide emission remains poorly understood. In this paper we monitor progressive carbon dioxide levels and strain signals from the boreholes in a seismically active fault, and show that the carbon dioxide variations are sensitive to the...
