Basse-Terre waters sampled from 2005 to 2007 around La Soufrière volcano (Louvat et al., 2011); Lesser Antilles arc lavas near 0 ‰ (+2 to +3 ‰ in Martinique, Smith et al., 1997). Coordinates not published. Springs at 25 to 60 °C, pH 4.3 to 7; compositions very variable from one spring to the next.

| 11.7 ± 2.8 ‰ | 8.1 / 15.1 ‰ | 5 | thermal water (dissolved boron) Mean and standard deviation recalculated from 5 analyses, +8.1 to +15.1 (Tarade +15.1; Galion 12/05/05 +12.9; Galion 15/04/05 +12.7; Pas du Roy +9.5; Bains Jaunes +8.1). 252 to 967 µg/L B; 8 to 15 ‰ above the rocks, a much smaller offset than in rivers. The text gives 9.1 ‰ as the minimum. | Louvat et al. (2011), Boron isotope ratios of surface waters in Guadeloupe, Lesser Antill… |
