Diffusive CO2 flux measurements from La Fossa Crater on Vulcano Island, Italy. The time series was collected from January 2018 to February 2025 using a West System Soil CO2 station with an accumulation chamber. The dataset was authored by Salvatore Inguaggiato and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Use Cases
- Monitor volcanic activity based on soil CO2 flux time-series data.
- Analyze seasonal or long-term trends in diffusive CO2 emissions from volcanic soil.
- Validate geochemical models of volcanic degassing based on field measurements.
- Study environmental impacts of volcanic gas emissions based on soil flux data.
Strengths
- Time series spans over seven years, from January 2018 to February 2025.
- Specific measurement method (West System Soil CO2 station with accumulation chamber) is documented.
- Dataset is licensed for open use under CC-BY-4.0.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single crater on Vulcano Island.
