Carbon dioxide emissions and heat flow through soil, steam vents and fractures, and steam heated mud pools were determined in the Reykjanes geothermal area, SW Iceland. Soil diffuse degassing of CO2 was quantified by soil flux measurements on a 600 m by 375 m rectangular grid using a portable closed...
