Harrichhausen et al. (US/FR/EC/CO) mapped #activefaults at the northern boundary of the Quito-Latacunga #microblock in Ecuador and Colombia. Is the ~3 mm/yr of #rightlateral strain concentrated on one fault, or spread across many?

Check out our new paper in Solid Earth. In this study we show that deformation at the northern edge of the Quito-Latacunga microblock, a geodetically defined tectonic block, is accommodated by distributed faulting. Volcanism may also influence faulting.

“Right now, I’m very happy to see my daughter again,” Vaca Latacunga said in a phone call in Spanish after her release, The Globe reported.

Mainers have pushed back against ICE's characterization of those arrested, saying many are like Latacunga — employed and appear to have no criminal record.

"To support her daughter, Vaca Latacunga worked into the early pre-dawn hours packaging scallops, lobster, and other products from Maine’s seafood industry.
“All she did was work and try to give her daughter a better future... She didn’t come to create any harm.”"
