Segmentation and supercycles: A catalog of earthquake rupture patterns from the Sumatran Sunda Megathrust and other well-studied faults worldwide
After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

A review of the geodynamic evolution of flat slab subduction in Mexico, Peru, and Chile
Subducting plates around the globe display a large variability in terms of slab geometry,
including regions where smooth and little variation in subduction parameters is observed …

Supercycle at the Ecuadorian subduction zone revealed after the 2016 Pedernales earthquake
Large earthquakes are usually assumed to release all of the strain accumulated since the
previous event, implying a reduced seismic hazard after them. However, long records of …

Hazardous faults of South America; compilation and overview
Abstract The heterogeneous South American geology has coined a wide variety of
neotectonic settings where crustal seismogenic sources do occur. This fact has led to …

Subducted oceanic relief locks the shallow megathrust in central Ecuador
Whether subducted oceanic reliefs such as seamounts promote seismic rupture or aseismic
slip remains controversial. Here we use swath bathymetry, prestack depth‐migrated …

Across‐arc versus along‐arc S r‐Nd‐Pb isotope variations in the E cuadorian volcanic arc
Previous studies of the Ecuadorian arc (1° N–2° S) have revealed across‐arc geochemical
trends that are consistent with a decrease in mantle melting and slab dehydration away from …

Late Miocene exhumation of the Western Cordillera, Ecuador, driven by increased coupling between the subducting Carnegie Ridge and the South American …
The subduction of bathymetric highs, such as aseismic ridges, leads to far‐reaching
changes in the dynamics of subduction zones with increased plate coupling and …
