Abstract

Three-dimension geological models represent the subsurface geology based on the development of 3D geological structures as an extension of geological maps. This study aims to update the previous geological information of the Gallocanta Basin (NE Spain) by (1) extending the model domain to most parts of the basin and (2) developing a new 3D model. The ultimate objective is to obtain a 3D geological model which provides a more detailed conceptual understanding of the groundwater flow for a future hydrogeological model. We used MOVE 2017 software to render the geological data and develop the new model. The geological 3D model has shown the effectiveness of using three-dimensional analysis as a useful tool for the geological reconstruction of complex areas. The creation of the present three-dimensional model constitutes the basis for geological and hydrogeological works.
