Description:
The concepts of CO2 emission, global warming, climate change, and their environmental
impacts are of utmost importance for the understanding and protection of the
ecosystems. Among the natural sources of gases into the atmosphere, the contribution
of geogenic sources plays a crucial role. However, while subaerial emissions are widely
studied, submarine outgassing is not yet well understood. In this study, we review and
catalog 122 literature and unpublished data of submarine emissions distributed in ten
coastal areas of the Aegean Sea. This catalog includes descriptions of the degassing
vents through in situ observations, their chemical and isotopic compositions, and flux
estimations. Temperatures and pH data of surface seawaters in four areas affected by
submarine degassing are also presented. This overview provides useful information to
researchers studying the impact of enhanced seawater CO2 concentrations related
either to increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere or leaking carbon capture and
storage systems.
