The volcanic geology of the mid-arc island of Dominica, Lesser Antilles: the surface expression of an island arc batholith

"Using results from geological mapping, detailed stratigraphy, mineral chemistry, and geochemistry, the authors have developed a model to explain characteristics of Dominica not seen on many island arcs worldwide. The model suggests that during the Pleistocene partial melting of the island-arc...

Zusammenfassung:"Using results from geological mapping, detailed stratigraphy, mineral chemistry, and geochemistry, the authors have developed a model to explain characteristics of Dominica not seen on many island arcs worldwide. The model suggests that during the Pleistocene partial melting of the island-arc crust generated a single magma body of batholithic proportions beneath the island"...Provided by publisher
