3D local earthquake tomography of the Ecuadorian margin in the source area of the 2016 Mw 7.8 Pedernales earthquake

Abstract

models were calculated using local earthquake tomography in the region affected by the 2016 Pedernales, Ecuador earthquake • Tomographic images highlight the heterogeneities of the margin affected by seamounts and ridges comprising the oceanic crust • Carnegie Ridge seems the main feature controlling the seismic activity and the offshore extent of large megathrust earthquakes in the region Supporting Information:
