• Lake-floor sediment texture and composition of a hydrothermally-active, volcanic lake, Lake Rotomahana 

  Pittari, Adrian; Muir, S.L.; Hendy, Chris H. (Elsevier, 2016)

  Young volcanic lakes undergo a transition from rapid, post-eruptive accumulation of volcaniclastic sediment to slower pelagic settling under stable lake conditions, and may also be influenced by sublacustrine hydrothermal ...
