	abstract = {Deep-sea hydrothermal systems at slow/ultraslow-spreading mid-ocean ridges are often located within ultramafic rocks that are part of oceanic core complexes. These complexes contain lower-crustal and mantle sections exhumed due to detachment faulting. Hydrothermal circulation in these environments leads to massive sulfide deposits, hydration of oceanic lithosphere and conditions resembling early Earth{\textquoteright}s life origin. However, the relationship between hydrothermal pathways in these environments and crustal and mantle lithologies, faulting, magmatism, serpentinization and alteration is poorly understood. Here we present seismic models of a Mid-Atlantic Ridge core complex and its ultramafic-hosted hydrothermal system derived from full waveform inversion of controlled-source seismic data and from local earthquake tomography. The models and derived rock properties reveal high-permeability channels within serpentinized peridotite along the flanks of the core complex. These channels converge beneath active and fossil hydrothermal fields and are diverted around mechanically strong, impermeable shallow mafic intrusions (2{\textendash}3 km wide, \textasciitilde1 km thick), causing hydrothermal outflow and the formation of massive sulfide deposits around the intrusions{\textquoteright} edges. These mafic intrusions also act as lids that limit fluid downflow{\textemdash}and thus serpentinization{\textemdash}in the centre of the core complex. Our results demonstrate that hydrothermal flow in ultramafic settings is controlled by lithology contacts, with mafic intrusions modulating hydrothermal pathways and extent of mantle serpentinization at depth.},

	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 = {Seismicity along transform faults provides important constraints for our understanding of the factors that control earthquake ruptures. Oceanic transform faults are particularly informative due to their relatively simple structure in comparison to their continental counterparts. The seismicity of several fast-moving transform faults has been investigated by local networks, but as of today there been few studies of transform faults in slow spreading ridges. Here, we present the first local seismicity catalogue based on event data recorded by a temporary broad-band network of 39 ocean{\textendash}bottom seismometers located around the slow-moving Chain Transform Fault (CTF) along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) from 2016 to 2017 March. We locate 972 events in the area by simultaneously inverting for a 1-D velocity model informed by the event P- and S-arrival times. We refine the depths and focal mechanisms of the larger events using deviatoric moment tensor inversion. Most of the earthquakes are located along the CTF (700) and Romanche transform fault (94) and the MAR (155); a smaller number (23) can be observed on the continuing fracture zones or in intraplate locations. The ridge events are characterized by normal faulting and most of the transform events are characterized by strike-slip faulting, but with several reverse mechanisms that are likely related to transpressional stresses in the region. CTF events range in magnitude from 1.1 to 5.6 with a magnitude of completeness around 2.3. Along the CTF we calculate a b-value of 0.81 {\textpm} 0.09. The event depths are mostly shallower than 15 km below sea level (523), but a small number of high-quality earthquakes (16) are located deeper, with some (8) located deeper than the brittle-ductile transition as predicted by the 600 {\textdegree}C-isotherm from a simple thermal model. The deeper events could be explained by the control of sea water infiltration on the brittle failure limit.},

	abstract = {Volatiles expelled from subducted plates promote melting of the overlying warm mantle, feeding arc volcanism. However, debates continue over the factors controlling melt generation and transport, and how these determine the placement of volcanoes. To broaden our synoptic view of these fundamental mantle wedge processes, we image seismic attenuation beneath the Lesser Antilles arc, an end-member system that slowly subducts old, tectonized lithosphere. Punctuated anomalies with high ratios of bulk-to-shear attenuation (Qκ-1/Qμ-1 > 0.6) and VP/VS (>1.83) lie 40 km above the slab, representing expelled fluids that are retained in a cold boundary layer, transporting fluids toward the back-arc. The strongest attenuation (1000/QS ~ 20), characterizing melt in warm mantle, lies beneath the back-arc, revealing how back-arc mantle feeds arc volcanoes. Melt ponds under the upper plate and percolates toward the arc along structures from earlier back-arc spreading, demonstrating how slab dehydration, upper-plate properties, past tectonics, and resulting melt pathways collectively condition volcanism.},
