Long-term Limnological Research and Monitoring at Crater Lake, Oregon A benchmark study of a deep and exceptionally clear montane caldera lake

Crater Lake is located in the caldera of Mount Mazama in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. The lake has a surface area of about 53 km2 at an elevation of 1882 m and a maximum depth of 594 m – seventh deepest in the world. Limited studies of this ultraoligotrophic lake conducted between 1896 and 198...
