	abstract = {Geological processes at subduction zones and their associated geohazards (e.g., megathrust earthquakes, submarine landslides, tsunamis, and arc volcanism) are, to a large extent, controlled by the structure, physical properties and fluid content of the subducting plate, the accreted sediments, and the overriding plate. In these settings, modern seismic modeling and imaging techniques based on controlled-source, multicomponent ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) data are some of the best tools available for determining the subseafloor elastic properties, which can be linked to the aforementioned properties. Here, we present CASIE21-OBS, a controlled-source marine wide-angle OBS data set recently collected across the Cascadia convergent margin as part of the larger CAscadia Seismic Imaging Experiment 2021 (CASIE21). The main component of CASIE21 is a long-offset multichannel seismic (MCS) survey of the Cascadia margin conducted in June{\textendash}July 2021 onboard R/V M.G. Langseth (cruise MGL2104) aiming to characterize the incoming plate, the plate interface geometry and properties, and the overlying sediment stratigraphy and physical properties. CASIE21-OBS was conducted during R/V M.G. Langseth cruise MGL2103 (May 2021) and R/V Oceanus cruise OC2106A (June{\textendash}July 2021). It consisted of 63 short-period four-component OBSs deployed at a total 120 stations along 10 across-trench profiles extending from \~{}50 km seaward of the deformation front to the continental shelf, and from offshore northern Vancouver Island to offshore southern Oregon. The OBSs recorded the airgun signals of the CASIE21-MCS survey as well as natural seismicity occurring during the deployment period (24 May 2021 19:00 UTC{\textendash}9 July 2021 09:00 UTC). The OBS data are archived and available at the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology Data Management Center under network code YR_2021 for continuous time series (miniSEED) and identifier 21-008 for assembled data set (SEG-Y).},

	abstract = {Seismic anisotropy measurements show that upper mantle hydration at the Middle America Trench (MAT) is limited to serpentinization and/or water in fault zones, rather than distributed uniformly. Subduction of hydrated oceanic lithosphere recycles water back into the deep mantle, drives arc volcanism, and affects seismicity at subduction zones. Constraining the extent of upper mantle hydration is an important part of understanding many fundamental processes on Earth. Substantially reduced seismic velocities in tomography suggest that outer rise plate-bending faults provide a pathway for seawater to rehydrate the slab mantle just prior to subduction. Estimates of outer-rise hydration based on tomograms vary significantly, with some large enough to imply that, globally, subduction has consumed more than two oceans worth of water during the Phanerozoic. We found that, while the mean upper mantle wavespeed is reduced at the MAT outer rise, the amplitude and orientation of inherited anisotropy are preserved at depths >1 km below the Moho. At shallower depths, relict anisotropy is replaced by slowing in the fault-normal direction. These observations are incompatible with pervasive hydration but consistent with models of wave propagation through serpentinized fault zones that thin to <100-m in width at depths >1 km below Moho. Confining hydration to fault zones reduces water storage estimates for the MAT upper mantle from \~{}3.5 wt\% to <0.9 wt\% H20. Since the intermediate thermal structure in the \~{}24 Myr-old MAT slab favors serpentinization, limited hydration suggests that fault mechanics are the limiting factor, not temperatures.
