  abstract = {{T}he relative motion of the {P}acific plate with respect to the {N}orth {A}merica plate is partitioned between transcurrent faults located along the western margin of {B}aja {C}alifornia and transform faults and spreading ridges in the {G}ulf of {C}alifornia. {H}owever, the amount of right lateral offset along the {B}aja {C}alifornia western margin is still debated. {W}e revisited multibeam swath bathymetry data along the southern end of the {T}osco-{A}breojos fault system. {I}n this area the depths are less than 1,000 m and allow a finer gridding at 60 m cell spacing. {T}his improved resolution unveils several transcurrent right lateral faults offsetting the seafloor and canyons, which can be used as markers to quantify local offsets. {T}he seafloor of the southern end of the {T}osco-{A}breojos fault system (south of 24{A} degrees {N}) displays {NW}-{SE} elongated bathymetric highs and lows, suggesting a transtensional tectonic regime associated with the formation of pull-apart basins. {I}n such an active tectonic context, submarine canyon networks are unstable. {U}sing the deformation rate inferred from kinematic predictions and pull-apart geometry, we suggest a minimum age for the reorganization of the canyon network.},
