Time-window into the transcrustal plumbing system dynamics of Dominica (Lesser Antilles)

Abstract Dominica, one of the most magmatically active islands of the Lesser Antilles through its four active volcanoes, is likely host under its central part, below Morne Trois Pitons–Micotrin, to a well-established transcrustal mush system. Pre-eruptive spatiotemporal magma dynamics are examined f...
