| Omschrijving: | Poás Volcano, one of the most active and studied volcanoes in Central America, exhibits high activity and complexity in its geodynamic processes, making the study of its internal structure essential. This work focuses on the three-dimensional modeling of the magmatic reservoir of Poás Volcano, using various publications dedicated to the volcano. Relevant maps and profiles were selected, georeferenced, and integrated into the Leapfrog Geo software. Additionally, seismic data were incorporated to confirm the general location of the reservoir. A total volume of 16 km³ was modeled, encompassing both Poás Volcano and nearby volcanic edifices and structures, while also representing the interaction between volcanism and the subduction zone. This study highlights the potential of 3D modeling as a tool for synthesizing and visualizing complex geological structures such as Poás Volcano. Although the presented model is based on inferences drawn from limited data, it represents significant progress in understanding the internal structure of the volcano. Moreover, it highlights the need for future research to improve the model’s accuracy and to unravel both its processes and geological evolution. |
