In the heart of Africa, a unique lake attracts the attention of
scientists since the beginning of the 20th century. At the foot of
the Virunga volcano chain, Lake Kivu harbors a vast amount of
dissolved carbon dioxide and methane, making this lake the most
dangerous lake on Earth. But the lake furnishes also many goods and
services for surrounding populations and may soon become the most
important energy supplier in the area. At the beginning of gas
exploitation, the time has come for gathering the large amount of
scientific information acquired during past and present research on
Lake Kivu. The eleven chapters cover many aspects of the physics,
geochemistry and biology of the lake, with a particular focus on
the unique physical and geochemical features of the water column
and on the ecological functioning of the surface waters. The
impacts of the introduced fish species and the potential impacts of
methane exploitation are also summarized. This multi-disciplinary
book may also be used as an introduction to the limnology and
biogeochemistry of large tropical lakes, as it covers various
aspects of the physics, geochemistry, biology and ecology of the
African Great Rift lakes. "
