Diverse magma storage and major and volatile magma composition: What are the implications on the eruptive style across a volcanic arc? An example of the Lesser …
Understanding variations in eruptive style and defining the processes and controls on
different eruption styles is particularly important at arc volcanoes. This is due to the range of …

Subduction history of the Caribbean from upper-mantle seismic imaging and plate reconstruction
B Braszus, S Goes, R Allen, A Rietbrock… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
The margins of the Caribbean and associated hazards and resources have been shaped by

Slab to back-arc to arc: Fluid and melt pathways through the mantle wedge beneath the Lesser Antilles
Volatiles expelled from subducted plates promote melting of the overlying warm mantle,
feeding arc volcanism. However, debates continue over the factors controlling melt …

Along‐arc heterogeneity in local seismicity across the Lesser Antilles subduction zone from a dense ocean‐bottom seismometer network
Abstract The Lesser Antilles arc is only one of two subduction zones where slow‐spreading
Atlantic lithosphere is consumed. Slow‐spreading may result in the Atlantic lithosphere …
