The Anninghe fault (ANHF) and the Zemuhe fault (ZMHF), located in the southeast of the Tibetan Plateau, have a high level of seismic hazard and are among the most active faults in China. This study performed the first measurements of soil gas CO2 at three sites across the ANHF and the ZMHF. The faul...
