Geologist Professor Dr Richard Robertson of the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre while speaking on radio yesterday discussed the growth of the 2020/2021 dome at La Soufriere.
“So we now have a new volume of the dome, it’s a little above 13 million cubic meters, compared to the last time we did the measurement which was on the 12th of February.” He said.
Professor Robertson said that this is substantial growth. He said that in terms of height, the dome is over 100 meters high. It was 90 meters in February.
“So it’s wrapped around a bit further to the west and if anybody familiar with the conditions, it just about past where 1979 dome is, so if you go up there it’s past that.” Robertson said.
