Characterisation of the subaquatic groundwater discharge that maintains the permanent stratification within Lake Kivu; East Africa.
Warm and cold subaquatic groundwater discharge into Lake Kivu forms the large-scale density gradients presently observed in the lake. This structure is pertinent to maintaining the stratification that locks the high volume of gases in the deepwater. Our research presents the first characterisation o...
