	abstract = {To test the relationship between plate age and uppermost mantle structure for the Juan de Fuca and Gorda plates, as well as the mode of lithospheric cooling, we produce a new 3D oceanic shear wave speed (VS) model. This model is constructed using a new high-quality Rayleigh wave phase speed data set across the plates and is based on a novel thermo-seismic hybrid parameterization. In the lithosphere, we find that the VS structure is primarily (68\% of study area) governed by conductive cooling. Exceptions are observed, suggesting advective heat influx along ridges and hydrothermal circulation through cracks near the subduction trench and transform faults. In the asthenosphere of the Juan de Fuca plate, no simple monotonic relationship between seismic structure and plate age exists, but instead there is a non-monotonic slow-fast-slow VS pattern from west to east. The two slow asthenospheric VS anomalies indicate the presence of partial melt beneath both the mid-ocean ridge and the subduction trench. The partial melt beneath the trench is enigmatic.},

	abstract = {Pn travel times from regional earthquakes recorded both by stations on New Zealand and by ocean bottom seismographs deployed offshore indicate anisotropy in the uppermost mantle beneath the region. The largest anisotropy of 8\% ({\textpm}2\%, 1σ) lies beneath the deforming part of the South Island to just off its West Coast, a zone roughly 100{\textendash}200 km wide. The fastest propagation is aligned N60{\textdegree}E ({\textpm}3{\textdegree}), essentially parallel to the largely strike-slip relative plate motion since 20 Ma, also N60{\textdegree}E. The magnitude of anisotropy decreases abruptly northwest and southeast of this zone, and on the southeast side of the island, the orientation of fastest propagation is between N32{\textdegree}W and N-S. The N60{\textdegree}E orientation of fast propagation is consistent with finite strain within the uppermost part of the mantle lithosphere if the measured 850 km of displacement of the Pacific plate past the Australia plate is spread over a region with a width of 100{\textendash}200 km. The agreement of this orientation of fast propagation with the orientation or relative plate motion suggests the possibility of but does not require some dynamic recrystallization in rock as cold as 500{\textendash}800{\textdegree}C, where Peierls creep seems to be the likely deformation mechanism. Such a strain distribution matches deformation of a thin viscous sheet that obeys a constitutive relationship of the form , where is the average strain rate and τ is the operative deviatoric stress, with an average value of n ≈ 3{\textendash}10. Presumably, the NW-SE fast propagation in the region southeast of the island results from strain that precedes the Cenozoic deformation that has shaped the island.},

	abstract = {Inter-station Green{\textquoteright}s functions estimated from ambient noise studies have been widely used to investigate crustal structure. However, most studies are restricted to continental areas and use fundamental-mode surface waves only. In this study, we recover inter-station surface (Scholte-Rayleigh) wave empirical Green{\textquoteright}s function (EGFs) of both the fundamental- and the first-higher mode using one year of continuous seismic noise records on the vertical component from 28 ocean bottom seismographs deployed in the Quebrada/Discovery/Gofar transform faults region on the East Pacific Rise. The average phase-velocity dispersion of the fundamental mode (period band 2{\textendash}30s) and the first-higher mode (period band 3{\textendash}7s) from all EGFs are used to invert for the 1-D average, shear-velocity structure in the crust and uppermost mantle using a model-space search algorithm. The preferred shear-velocity models reveal low velocities (4.29km/s) between Moho and 25km depth below sea-surface, suggesting the absence of a fast uppermost mantle lid in this young (0{\textendash}2Myr) oceanic region. An even more pronounced low-velocity zone, with shear velocities \~{}3.85km/s, appears at a depth between 25{\textendash}40km below sea-surface. Along with previous results, our study indicates that the shear velocity in the uppermost oceanic mantle increases with increasing seafloor age, consistent with age-related lithospheric cooling. R{\'e}sum{\'e} Les fonctions de Green estim{\'e}es {\`a} partir de l{\textquoteright}analyse du bruit ambiant ont beaucoup {\'e}t{\'e} utilis{\'e}es pour {\'e}tudier la structure de la cro{\^u}te terrestre. La plupart de ces travaux sont toutefois limit{\'e}s aux zones continentales, et ne consid{\`e}rent que le mode fondamental des ondes de surface. Dans cette {\'e}tude, les fonctions de Green empiriques (EGFs) du mode fondamental et du premier mode sup{\'e}rieur des ondes de surface (Scholte-Rayleigh) sont reconstruites {\`a} partir d{\textquoteright}une ann{\'e}e d{\textquoteright}enregistrements continus de la composante verticale du bruit sismique sur 28 ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) d{\'e}ploy{\'e}s dans la r{\'e}gion des failles transformantes Quebrada/Discovery/Gofar, le long de la dorsale oc{\'e}anique du Pacifique Est. La dispersion moyenne des vitesses de phase du mode fondamental (dans la bande de p{\'e}riode 2{\textendash}30s) et du premier mode sup{\'e}rieur (dans la bande 3{\textendash}7s), issus des EGFs, est utilis{\'e}e pour d{\'e}terminer un mod{\`e}le moyen 1D de la vitesse des ondes de cisaillement dans la cro{\^u}te et le manteau sup{\'e}rieur {\`a} partir d{\textquoteright}un algorithme de recherche dans l{\textquoteright}espace mod{\`e}le. Le mod{\`e}le de vitesse des ondes de cisaillement r{\'e}sultant pr{\'e}sente une couche de faible vitesse (4,29km/s) entre le Moho et 25km sous le niveau de la mer, ce qui sugg{\`e}re l{\textquoteright}absence de couche superficielle rapide dans le manteau sup{\'e}rieur de cette jeune r{\'e}gion oc{\'e}anique (0{\textendash}2millions d{\textquoteright}ann{\'e}es). Une zone de faible vitesse encore plus prononc{\'e}e, avec une vitesse de cisaillement de \~{}3,85km/s, appara{\^\i}t entre 25 et 40km sous le niveau de la mer. Combin{\'e}e avec des r{\'e}sultats ant{\'e}rieurs, notre {\'e}tude montre que la vitesse de cisaillement dans le manteau oc{\'e}anique sup{\'e}rieur augmente avec l{\textquoteright}{\^a}ge du fond oc{\'e}anique, ce qui est en accord avec le refroidissement dans le temps de la lithosph{\`e}re.},
