Fig. 2

We find (A) an almost typical inter-seismic deformation period; (B) the 2017 Guerrero SSE (G-SSE1) and the initiation of the 2017 Oaxaca SSE (O-SSE1); (B–D) the evolution of the O-SSE1; (E–F) the post-seismic slip of the Mw7.2 Pinotepa earthquake (PE-afterslip) together with a neighboring but separated SSE in Guerrero (G-SSE2, second one); and (G–H) the concomitant evolution of the 2019 Guerrero (G-SSE3, third one) and Oaxaca (O-SSE2, second one) SSEs (see Table 1). Dashed slip contours are in centimeters. Yellow circles encompassing the blue bar at the bottom of each panel indicate the dates of the associated inverted window, and red small stars, the Mw8.2 Tehuantepec, Mw7.1 Puebla-Morelos, and Mw7.2 Pinotepa earthquakes timing, respectively, from left to right. Red and blue arrows show the observed and synthetic surface horizontal displacements, and the gray ellipses one standard deviation of the corresponding GPS data window.
