Hydrothermal system of Central Tenerife Volcanic Complex, Canary Islands (Spain), inferred from self-potential measurements

Abstract: a b s t r a c tAn extensive self-potential survey was carried out in the central volcanic complex of Tenerife Island (Canary Islands, Spain). A total amount of ~237 km of profiles with 20 m spacing between measurements was completed, including radial profiles extending from the summits of Teide and Pico Viejo, and circular profiles inside and around Las Cañadas caldera and the northern slopes of Teide and Pico Viejo. One of the main results of this map-ping is the detection of well-developed hydrothermal syste… Show more

“…1). From the geochemical point of view, the Cañ adas edifice has been and is also affected by active hydrothermal and fumaloric activities as well as CO 2 diffuse emission (Villasante-Marcos et al, 2014), this has acted after the Caldera formation. The combination of the mechanical and geochemical processes produced a heterogeneous volcanic system, where really interesting specific outcrops could become a terrestrial analogues for instrument testing and contribute to the science development of new space missions.…”

“…Nevertheless, changes in the water saturation state in a volcanic edifice can drastically change its mechanical and hydraulic conditions (Reid 2004). These variations in hydraulic regime in a volcano can be detected through self potential, microgravity, resistivity or VLF surveys (Finizola et al 2003;Révil et al 2004;Zlotnicki et al 2006;Gottsmann et al 2007;Fournier et al 2009;Villasante-Marcos et al 2014). Water level gauging in wells or flow rate measurements from (thermal) springs at volcano flanks is the most direct way, although few examples of frequent monitoring exist (Ingebritsen et al 2001;Hurwitz et al 2002;Taran and Peiffer 2009), which inevitably leads to the need for numerical modeling procedures to increase theoretical insights (Hurwitz et al 2003;Todesco and Berrino 2005).…”

“…The hydrogeological behaviour of the high-permeability TPVC deposits contrasts with the low-permeability Las Cañadas Edifice bedrock, the hydrothermal alteration core below TPVC, and the dyke-intrusion network across them [31,32] (Figure 2). Low-permeability materials act as barriers to the groundwater flow, thus allowing the groundwater storage in the high-permeability summit caldera above 1800 m a.s.l.…”

“…Low-permeability materials act as barriers to the groundwater flow, thus allowing the groundwater storage in the high-permeability summit caldera above 1800 m a.s.l. [30,32,33] (Figure 2). The existence of a low-permeability clay-rich debrisavalanche deposit at the IGV bottom related to the landslide origin of this valley [24,31,34,35] enhances the relatively fast groundwater flow along this valley from TPVC and LCC to the northern coast ( Figure 2).…”
