  abstract = {{T}he {V}enta de {B}ravo normal fault is one of the longest structures in the intra-arc fault system of the {T}rans-{M}exican {V}olcanic {B}elt. {I}t defines, together with the {P}astores {F}ault, the 80 km long southern margin of the {A}cambay {G}raben. {W}e focus on the westernmost segment of the {V}enta de {B}ravo {F}ault and provide new paleoseismological information, evaluate its earthquake history, and assess the related seismic hazard. {W}e analyzed five trenches, distributed at three different sites, in which {H}olocene surface faulting offsets interbedded volcanoclastic, fiuvio-lacustrine and colluvial deposits. {D}espite the lack of known historical destructive earthquakes along this fault, we found evidence of at least eight earthquakes during the late {Q}uaternary. {O}ur results indicate that this is one of the major seismic sources of the {A}cambay {G}raben, capable of producing by itself earthquakes with magnitudes ({M}-w) up to 6.9, with a slip rate of 0.22-0.24 mm yr(-1) and a recurrence interval between 1940 and 2390 years. {I}n addition, a possible multi-fault rupture of the {V}enta de {B}ravo {F}ault together with other faults of the {A}cambay {G}raben could result in a {M}w > 7 earthquake. {T}hese new slip rates, earthquake recurrence rates, and estimation of slips per event help advance our understanding of the seismic hazard posed by the {V}enta de {B}ravo {F}ault and provide new parameters for further hazard assessment.},
