Title: Isotopic composition of carbon of gases of active volcanoes and hot springs of the Kuril-Kamchatka volcanic arc

Journal Article · · Int. Geol. Rev.; (United States)

To determine the effect of geologic factors on the composition of abyssal derivates (complementing existing information on the geochemistry of volcanic gases) isotopic analysis of carbon was used to obtain physicochemical criteria of the origin of gases, independent of geologic-petrographic data. The investigations include component analysis of all the gases, particularly hydrocarbon compounds, repeatedly found in the fumarole emanations of pyroclastic streams. Volcanic carbon dioxide which is the principal component of gases of active volcanoes and hot springs in the Kuril-Kamchatka volcanic arc and of other volcanoes was investigated.
