During the Pleistocene, an andesitic volcano named Mount
Mazama grew to a probable elevation of 3000 meters in south-

This study explored park visitors' preferences for scenic vistas at Crater Lake
National Park, and whether their scenic evaluations would be affected if water levels
of Crater Lake changed. Three main areas were addressed in the study. The first tested park visitors' ability to perceive differences in the level of...
As a result of the past three years of field studies and our interpretation of these and other data from the literature, we conclude that there are inputs of hydrothermal fluids into the bottom of Crater Lake. The dissolved materials associated with these thermally and chemically enriched fluids, coupled with...
Crater Lake, located in the southern Cascade mountains of Oregon, is the seventh deepest lake in the world. Unlike a majority of the deepest lakes in the world, found in continental rift valleys, Crater Lake is in the caldera of a volcano. For the young at heart and mind, those...
