Morphology

doming = dome (transparent) = dome + ing

The meaning is a straightforward nominalization of the action of forming a dome (dome + -ing).

Etymology

Doming comes from the simpler word dome and the ending -ing, with dome meaning 'rounded roof or shape' and -ing meaning 'the action of'. Picture a flat surface bulging up into a small dome when heat or pressure changes it, so doming is the outward bulge or the process of forming that dome.
