Helium flux from the Earth's mantle as estimated from Hawaiian fumarolic degassing
Naughton JJ, Lee JH, Keeling D, Finlayson JB, Dority G. 1973. Helium flux from the Earth's mantle as estimated from Hawaiian fumarolic degassing. Science. 180(4081):55-57
Averaged helium to carbon dioxide ratios measured from systematic collections of gases from Sulphur Bank fumarole. Kilauea, Hawaii, when coupled with estimates of carbon in the earth's crust, give a helium flux of 1 x 105 atoms per square centimeter per second. This is within the lower range of other estimates, and may represent the flux from deep-seated sources in the upper mantle.
