Afterslip and slow slip events are usually considered as distinct processes occurring on separate fault areas governed by different frictional properties. Continuous GPS (Global Positioning System) measurements following the 2016 M-w (moment magnitude) 7.8 Ecuador earthquake reveal that large and rapid afterslip developed at discrete areas of the megathrust that had previously hosted slow slip events. Regardless of whether they were locked or not before the earthquake, these areas appear to persistently release stress by aseismic slip throughout the earthquake cycle and outline the seismic rupture, an observation potentially leading to a better anticipation of future large earthquakes. specialized EQUATEUR 066 4 1 eaao6596 [8p.] 2018 2375-2548 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010072440 10.1126/sciadv.aao6596 2375-2548 [F B010072440] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010072440 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers18-03/010072440.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2018-04-03 2023-07-11 fdi:010072440 fre
