“…In particular, the goals of this survey were to: (i) carry out a preliminary study to characterize composition, distribution and behaviour of the geo-gas (CH 4 , Rn, He, CO 2 , H 2 , etc) in the geological layers closer to the surface, (ii) define the baseline or background values, (iii) delineate the origin of shallow and deep fluids, and (iv) establish the presence of preferential migration pathways (i.e., fractures and faults) and carrier roles (Ciotoli et al, 1998(Ciotoli et al, , 2005Quattrocchi et al, 1999Quattrocchi et al, , 2001Quattrocchi et al, , 2004bMancini et al, 2000;Salvi et al, 2000;Baubron et al, 2002;Pizzino et al, 2002Pizzino et al, , 2004aVoltattorni et al, 2006Voltattorni et al, , 2009Lombardi and Voltattorni, 2010).…”

“…An area in proximity of Panarea Island (Aeolian Islands, southern Italy) was interested by a huge submarine volcanic-hydrothermal gas burst during November, 2002. The submarine gas emissions chemically modified seawater causing a strong modification of the marine ecosystem and the death of mainly benthonic life forms and serious damage to the sea-grass Posidonia oceanic (Voltattorni et al, 2009 Capaccioni et al (2007), a possible explanation for the temperature variability at the different gas emission points is related to an inferred magmatic system centred on or closer to Black point and whose diameter probably does not exceed a few hundred meters. Vents 1 and 2 have recorded the lowest values (mean values, respectively: 39.75 and 33.8 °C).…”

“…The migration of carrier gas by bubbles is a transport mechanism explaining the distribution of CO 2 and CH 4 (carrier gases) and radon and helium (trace gases) (Etiope and Martinelli, 2002;Voltattorni et al, 2009;Annunziatellis et al, 2008). For this reason, the isotopes of radon (222Rn and 220Rn) have been measured by a) scintillation detector EDA RD-200, b) solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD), c) ionization chamber and d) alpha spectroscopy SARAD RTM 2100.…”

Geologic storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) has been proposed as a viable means for reducing anthropogenic CO 2 emissions. Once injection begins, a program for measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) of CO 2 distribution is required in order to: a) research key features, effects and processes needed for risk assessment; b) manage the injection process; c) delineate and identify leakage risk and surface escape; d) provide early warnings of failure near the reservoir; and f) verify storage for accounting and crediting. The selection of the methodology of monitoring (characterization of site and control and verification in the post-injection phase) is influenced by economic and technological variables.Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) refers to a methodology developed for making decisions in the presence of multiple criteria. MCDM as a discipline has only a relatively short history of 40 years, and it has been closely related to advancements on computer technology. Evaluation methods and multicriteria decisions include the selection of a set of feasible alternatives, the simultaneous optimization of several objective functions, and a decision-making process and evaluation procedures that must be rational and consistent. The application of a mathematical model of decision-making will help to find the best solution, establishing the mechanisms to facilitate the management of information generated by number of disciplines of knowledge.Those problems in which decision alternatives are finite are called Discrete Multicriteria Decision problems. Such problems are most common in reality and this case scenario will be applied in solving the problem of site selection for storing CO 2 . Discrete MCDM is used to assess and decide on issues that by nature or design support a finite number of alternative solutions. Recently, Multicriteria Decision Analysis has been applied to hierarchy policy incentives for CCS, to assess the role of CCS, and to select potential areas which could be suitable to store.For those reasons, MCDM have been considered in the monitoring phase of CO 2 storage, in order to select suitable technologies which could be techno-economical viable. In this paper, we identify techniques of gas measurements in subsurface which are currently applying in the phase of characterization (pre-injection); MCDM will help decision-makers to hierarchy the most suitable technique which fit the purpose to monitor the specific physic-chemical parameter.
