A 3D geological model of El Hierro volcanic island reflecting intraplate volcanism cycles

Fully 3D and multidimensional geological models are key for energy, mining water resources assessment management, which has a great economic impact. provide critical information regarding geometric properties of the bodies interest, such as ore deposits or reservoirs, allowing inference volumes availability to be exploited. However, defining useful methodology create fully digital model volcanic islands is still very challenging due intrinsic complexity observed in structure systems. Two-dimensional maps, associated vertical cross-sectional diagrams borehole water-mining tunnels (galleries) logs were examined on El Hierro Island. A modelling procedure using software GeoModeller obtained first island, basis formation definitions analysis. Surface, volume center mass estimations differentiated sub-units allowed better understanding spatial distribution evolution cycles Island over time. The provided geometry correlatable with activity lava/pyroclast deposition mechanisms that ultimately defines units. This provides new variables valuable investigation existing relationships between rift zones giant lateral collapses. In addition, island will support building hydrogeological geothermal Island, advancement sustainability isolated
