	abstract = {The origin of rupture segmentation along subduction zone megathrusts and linkages to the structural evolution of the subduction zone are poorly understood. Here, regional-scale seismic imaging of the Cascadia margin is used to characterize the megathrust spanning 900 km from Vancouver Island to the California border, across the seismogenic zone to a few tens of kilometers from the coast. Discrete domains in lower plate geometry and sediment underthrusting are identified, not evident in prior regional plate models, which align with changes in lithology and structure of the upper plate and interpreted paleo-rupture patches. Strike-slip faults in the lower plate associated with oblique subduction mark boundaries between regions of distinct lower plate geometry. Their formation may be linked to changes in upper plate structure across long-lived upper plate faults. The Juan de Fuca plate is fragmenting within the seismogenic zone at Cascadia as the young plate bends beneath the heterogeneous upper plate resulting in structural domains that coincide with paleo-rupture segmentation. A fragmented lower plate in the Cascadia seismogenic zone bounds structural domains linked to paleo-rupture segmentation.},

	abstract = {We present results from a two-dimensional wide-angle controlled source seismic transect designed to characterize the velocity structure of the oceanic crust and uppermost mantle spanning the northern Juan de Fuca (JdF) plate from near Endeavor ridge to the Cascadia margin. Reflection and refraction travel time inversion is used to derive a tomographic Vp model of sediments, crust, and upper mantle. Velocity model results are compared to baseline reference Vp values for unaltered crustal and upper mantle rocks at temperatures assuming plate cooling. Effective medium theory is used to infer the degree of hydration of the crust and mantle. Results indicate a somewhat fractured and hydrated upper crust (<=2.5 wt\% water), a near dry lower crust (<=0.7 wt\%) and upper mantle (<=0.5 wt\%) west of the deformation front, and an \~{}75 km wide region of modestly lower velocity in the mid-plate. Comparison with prior results from a complementary transect offshore Oregon indicates significant differences in Vp of the upper crust, with lower Vp-inferred porosity along most of the Washington transects that may reflect different extents of fault-related alteration and sediment burial histories. Approaching the deformation front, Washington transect Vp structure indicates dryer conditions than offshore Oregon, consistent with differences in extent of subduction bend faulting found in reflection imaging studies. On both transects, quasi-abrupt changes in plate properties at ages of 8, 6, and 3.4/4 Ma are found. Distinct crustal accretion modes are recognized, aligning with changes in JdF plate motion and recent history of Cobb-Eickelberg hotspot influence on crustal accretion at the JdF ridge.},
