The northern Ecuador segment of the Nazca/South America subduction zone shows spatially heterogeneous interseismic coupling. Two highly coupled zones (0.4° S–0.35° N and 0.8° N–4.0° N) are separated by a low coupled area, hereafter referred to as the Punta Galera-Mompiche Zone (PGMZ). Large interplate earthquakes repeatedly occurred within the...
The purpose of this article is to address the problem of the focal mechanism determination using few seismological records acquired by a sparse network of 3-component sensors. Such cases are frequently encountered in reservoir contexts for the monitoring of the fluid-induced microseismicity. Focal mechanisms of fluid-induced earthquakes are...
