Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) flows into coral reefs. In volcanically active areas; the incoming groundwater is typically CO2-rich which can alter the carbon balance and views on how coral reefs function at prevailing high CO2. We quantified dynamic hydrothermal SGD and CO2 fluxes to a Phili...
