  abstract = {{A} temporary onshore-offshore seismic network deployed during the 2-year period of the {O}bservacion {SIS}mologica en {EC}uador project provides a detailed and well-focused image of the seismicity for magnitudes as low as 2.1 at the {C}entral {E}cuadorian subduction zone. {D}uring this 2-year experiment, the shallow and locked subduction patch shows little evidence of background seismicity that instead occurred downdip of the coupled patch at 20-km depth. {I}n this region, seismicity is possibly controlled by the crustal faults bounding the sedimentary basin of {M}anabi and the rheology of the upper plate. {T}he dip angle of the interplate contact zone, defined by a smooth interpolation through the hypocenters of thrust events, is consistent with a progressive increase from 6 degrees to 25 degrees from the trench to 20-km depth. {O}ffshore, a seismic swarm, concomitant with a slow-slip event rupturing the highly coupled subduction megathrust, highlights the reactivation of secondary active faults within the thickened crust of the subducting {C}arnegie {R}idge at the leading edge of a large oceanic seamount.},
