The Ecuador-Colombian subduction zone has hosted a series of large subduction earthquakes over the course of the 20th century. This earthquake sequence started in 1906 with a Mw 8.4-8.8 earthquake, which ruptured a 200-500 km long segment of the megathrust. It was followed by three large earthquakes that broke, from south to north, portions already contained in the 1906 rupture. These earthquakes occurred in 1942 (Mw=7.8), 1958 (Mw=7.6) and 1979 (Mw=8.2), respectively. In 2016, the Pedernales earthquake re-ruptured the 1942 coseismic region, possibly starting a new cascade of large events.The Pedernales earthquake and its aftershocks, recorded thanks to the international deployment of seismic stations in the months following the mainshock, ...
