Check out our new paper in Solid Earth. In this study we show that deformation at the northern edge of the Quito-Latacunga microblock, a geodetically defined tectonic block, is accommodated by distributed faulting. Volcanism may also influence faulting.

Distributed right-lateral strain at the northern boundary of the Quito-Latacunga microblock
Abstract. Remote sensing and field data suggest distributed right-lateral faulting at the northern edge of the Quito-Latacunga microblock in northern Ecuador and southern Colombia. Off the west coast ...
