Elaboración de un SIG del volcanismo holoceno de Cran Canaria (Islas Canarias): ejemplo del volcán de El Draguillo

Abstract

The Geographical Information Systems (GIS) represent a powerful tool in many scientific fields, included the volcanology. The present work shows its application to the Holocene volcanism of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) with an example of El Draguillo volcano. The inclusion of all the geological data (detailed cartography, geochronology, petrology, geochemistry, etc) of this volcano in a GIS provides a better visualization of its spatial-temporal evolution by means of the use of high-precision topographic data.
