  abstract = {{T}he southern {E}cuadorian forearc system is related to the subduction of the oceanic {F}arallon/{N}azca {P}late beneath the continental {S}outh {A}merican {P}late since the {L}ate {C}retaceous, and currently evolves with the dynamic of a tectonic block called {N}orth {A}ndean {S}liver. {T}o explore the structural architecture and processes controlling the {U}pper {C}retaceous-{C}enozoic growth of the forearc, we built a similar to 143 km-long onshore-offshore crustal-scale crosssection in the {S}anta {E}lena {P}eninsula region using seismic reflection profiles and well and field data. {T}he structure of the {S}anta {E}lena {P}eninsula forearc system is controlled by imbrication of {U}pper {C}retaceous-{P}alaeocene oceanic basement and {C}enozoic sedimentary units, and underplating of distal {C}enozoic sequences stacked at the trench zone. {T}his led to the progressive construction of an accretionary wedge through time. {T}he forearc substratum is mainly formed by the {U}pper {C}retaceous-{P}alaeocene basement developed during the docking of oceanic terranes. {I}t is later deformed by {NW}-trending landward-dipping, normal to strike-slip faults during the {M}iddle {E}ocene, and renewed compression by inversion of inherited faults from the {O}ligocene onwards. {R}ecent deformation consists in {N}-trending oceanward-dipping normal faults in the frontal slope domain and fault-controlled uplift of marine terraces along the coastal area. {T}herefore, the {U}pper {C}retaceous to present-day structural evolution of the {S}anta {E}lena {P}eninsula forearc is controlled by the long-lasting subduction dynamics and structural inheritance of the upper plate.},
