Soil gas geochemistry and diffuse CO2 flux from soil, together with gas concentrations in 7 production wells and 10 steam vents in the Reykjanes geothermal field (Iceland), were studied with the aim of: 1) studying the potential use of the CO2/He ratio in soil gas to constrain CO2 retention in calci...
