  abstract = {{S}olfatara crater, located in the {C}ampi {F}legrei caldera, is a volcano with one of the highest degassing rates on {E}arth, more than 1500 t of {CO}2 released by diffusion or through vents. {H}ere, we investigated how this gas release can be disrupted by the passage of seismic waves. {W}e performed continuous soil {CO}2 flux measurements during the propagation of seismic vibrations in the range of 5 {H}z to 200 {H}z induced by a vibroseis truck. {T}he {CO}2 flux was continuously recorded using the accumulation chamber method. {T}he data show a temporary and drastic (up to two-fold) increase in {CO}2 flux exclusively during the vibrations, before returning to the initial flux values. {T}hese transient variations are interpreted as fluidization of the surficial granular layer that releases the stored gas. {S}imilar degassing processes might occur at a larger scale during earthquakes, to cause temporary increases in the total gas outflow in volcanic or tectonic areas. {O}ur findings are useful to better assess and monitor the potential hazard from sudden {CO}2 flux release during earthquakes as several cases of intoxication or death have already been related to volcanic degassing.},
