Abstract:CO2 released from subduction zones plays a vital role in the tectonic carbon cycle. However, the contribution of submarine backarc components to carbon emissions remains poorly understood compared to subaerial arc volcanos. This study utilized a combination of geochemical and hydrodynamic approaches to investigate the sources and flux of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the deep basin of the southwestern Okinawa Trough. Most deep‐water (depth ≥1,000 m) samples, even those retrieved from sites distant from a… Show more
