************************************************************************* Inquiry about the surface of active volcanoes during the last 5000 years ************************************************************************* From: Pedro Hernandez <phdez@xxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, I am the IP of a three years scientific project with the title: GLOBAL DIFFUSE CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSION TO THE ATMOSPHERE BY SUBAERIAL VOLCANISM. Most of the studies on global CO2 emissions to the atmosphere by subaerial volcanoes have not taken into consideration the diffuse CO2 degassing process. Therefore, the goal of this project will be to perform a significant number of direct observations on diffuse CO2 degassing from volcanoes located at different tectonic and climate environments to provide a better estimation of the global CO2 emission to the atmosphere by the subaerial volcanism. Our plan is to estimate the total output of diffuse CO2 degassing from 30 volcanoes and, together with the data published in the literature, obtain the mean value of diffuse CO2 degassing per area unit (km2). Once we have this value, we will be able to extrapolate it to all the active volcanoes during the last 5000 years. For this reason, I need to know the surface (Km2) of the active volcanoes during the last 5000 years. If somebody can help me on this matter, I really will appreciate it.
