- •
Stress field is a key parameter controlling the distribution of volcanism.
- •
We provide a first-order plate-scale stress field in the volcanic Canary Islands.
- •
We also develop a regional model with archipelago-scale structural discontinuities.
- •
Methodology useful to define potential tectonic controls of future volcanism.
- •
Plate/regional stresses can be essential information for volcanic hazard assessment.
