  abstract = {{F}ield investigations have been carried out along the fault system that accommodates the relative motion between the {N}orth {A}ndean {S}liver and the {S}outh {A}merican {P}late in {E}cuador. {T}he project aims at mapping the segmentation of this major active fault system. {A} series of fault strands newly mapped in direct continuation to the {P}allatanga {F}ault ({PF}) to the north allow the definition of a large structure capable of triggering large events. {T}his is confirmed by the presence of historical well-preserved scarps and decametric offsets (probably due to the 1797 {M}7.5 {R}iobamba event) disrupting the {I}gualata volcano. {W}e could not find evidence for any structural continuity between the {PF} and the fault mapped in the {H}uisla volcano to the {NE}. {W}e suggest that a 5-10 km wide step over separates the two segments and probably blocked the 1797 rupture. {A} recent surface rupture has also been recently discovered during the {M}5 {P}isayambo quake along the {C}osanga {F}ault ({CF}) system, with uncommon surface rupture length and displacement. {F}rom the few unearthed evidences, we estimate at a first glance that the mean slip rate along the {PF} and {CF} is similar (≈1 mm/yr).},
