	abstract = {{We studied the seismic attenuation of body waves in the south-central region of the Gulf of California (GoC) with records from the Network of Autonomously Recording Seismographs of Baja California (NARS-Baja), from the Centro de Investigaci{\'o}n Cient{\'\i}fica y de Educaci{\'o}n Superior de Ensenada{\textquoteright}s Broadband Seismological Network of the GoC (RESBAN), and from the ocean-bottom seismographs (OBS) deployed as part of the Sea of Cortez Ocean Bottom Array experiment (SCOOBA). We examine 27 well-located earthquakes reported in Sumy et~al. (2013) that occurred from October 2005 to October 2006 with magnitudes (Mw) between 3.5 and 4.8. We estimated S-wave site effects by calculating horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios and determined attenuation functions with a nonparametric model by inverting the observed spectral amplitudes of 21 frequencies between 0.13 and 12.59~Hz for the SCOOBA (OBS) stations and 19 frequencies between 0.16 and 7.94~Hz for NARS-Baja and RESBAN stations. We calculated the geometrical spreading and the attenuation (1/Q) factors for two distance intervals (10{\textendash}120 and 120{\textendash}220~km, respectively) for each frequency considered. The estimates of Q obtained with the SCOOBA (OBS) records for the interval 10{\textendash}120~km indicate that the P waves attenuate more than S waves (QP=34{\textpm}1.2f 0.82{\textpm}0.10},

	abstract = {We present models of the 3-D shear velocity structure of the lithosphere and asthenosphere beneath the Hawaiian hotspot and surrounding region. The models are derived from long-period Rayleigh-wave phase velocities that were obtained from the analysis of seismic recordings collected during two year-long deployments for the Hawaiian Plume-Lithosphere Undersea Mantle Experiment. For this experiment, broad-band seismic sensors were deployed at nearly 70 seafloor sites as well as 10 sites on the Hawaiian Islands. Our seismic images result from a two-step inversion of path-averaged dispersion curves using the two-station method. The images reveal an asymmetry in shear velocity structure with respect to the island chain, most notably in the lower lithosphere at depths of 60 km and greater, and in the asthenosphere. An elongated, 100-km-wide and 300-km-long low-velocity anomaly reaches to depths of at least 140 km. At depths of 60 km and shallower, the lowest velocities are found near the northern end of the island of Hawaii. No major velocity anomalies are found to the south or southeast of Hawaii, at any depth. The low-velocity anomaly in the asthenosphere is consistent with an excess temperature of 200-250 {\textdegree}C and partial melt at the level of a few percent by volume, if we assume that compositional variations as a result of melt extraction play a minor role. We also image small-scale low-velocity anomalies within the lithosphere that may be associated with the volcanic fields surrounding the Hawaiian Islands.},
