Abstract
Lake Kivu is located on the border of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, along the western branch of the East African Rift, a region of active volcanism and high seismicity. The lake water contains large concentrations of dissolved methane and carbon dioxide. During this talk, we will discuss different mechanisms for large-scale overturning in lakes containing dissolved chemicals.
Series This talk is part of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Flows (IEEF) series.
