Abstract :
The remote sensing data (optical and radar) was used with the purpose of identify the structural lineaments that crosscut the geological formations that composed the bedrock of the south part of Santiago island (Cape Verde). Besides tectonics, this study also provided new insights to the understanding of the hydrogeological system of the volcanic island.
