How and why small volcanic ocean islands collapse and move vertically up and down by Fernando O. Marques, Luísa P. Ribeiro, Christian Hübscher, Ana C. G. Costa, Anthony Hildenbrand

“…From the vertical distribution of submarine and subaerial lavas, we can infer a complex subsidence and uplift history (seamount-island-seamount-island, meaning that Santa Maria has been an island twice), which is most likely the consequence of alternating volcanic construction (loading = subsidence) and large-scale destruction by sector collapse (unloading = uplift). …”
