Abstract

This paper, abridged from a chapter in a forthcoming book, (Özkundakci et al., in press, 2022), describes the major geothermal lakes and pools in the Waikato Region in terms of their setting, physical characteristics, geomorphology, geochemistry, and invertebrate and microbial ecology. It draws on research on Waikato geothermal lakes published from the 1950s to 2022.
