l. a. Reunion is an oceanic intra-plate volcanic island positioned on the southern-most half zero of the Mascarene Basin at 21 zero 07' S, fifty five 32' E (Figure 1). It lies south of the Mascarene Plateau and Mauritius Island yet is a different topographic characteristic at the really flat ocean backside of the Mascarene Basin, whose age is paleocene within the region of the island (Schlich, 1982), and whose lowest element is greater than 4000m deep. l. a. Reunion is ellip tical suit (50 X 70 km) with a NW-SE elongation. it truly is composed of 2 volcanoes: Piton des Neiges and Piton de l. a. Fournaise. a 3rd volcanic constitution has been contemporary ly found at the east submarine flank of the island (Unat et aI., submitted). Piton des Neiges, a dormant and deeply eroded volcano, rises to a peak of 3069 m and oc cupies the northwestern two-thirds of the island. Piton de los angeles Fournaise (2630 m), some of the most lively basaltic volcanoes on the planet, started to develop greater than three. five X 1O years in the past at the southeast flank of Piton des Neiges. The evolution of Piton de los angeles Fournaise (Chevallier and Bachclery, 1981) is marked by way of the formation of 3 sub-concentric nested calderas (Figure 2). the limits of the 2 older calderas are roughly buried or eroded.
