John Rogie Carbon Quotations

Normally, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is very low, well below one percent. The levels seen in the ground and snow within tree kill areas are much higher, up to 99 percent, and very dangerous.

This instrumentation and research will allow a better understanding of the dynamics of gas emission from volcanoes and provide an immediate warning device should the carbon dioxide emission rate suddenly increase.

The 24-hour variation suggested that the system was very dynamic and that more than a single measurement was needed to tell us if the carbon dioxide rates were going up, staying the same or going down.
