An overview of the structure, hazards, and methods of investigation of Nyos-type lakes from the geochemical perspective

Limnic eruptions represent a natural hazard in meromictic lakes hosted in volcanoes releasing CO2-rich magmatic gases. Biogeochemical processes also contribute to dissolved gas reservoirs since they can produce significant amounts of gases, such as CH4 and N2. Dissolved gases may have a strong influ...
