14 Figure DR1. Vertical component seismograms for one of the largest (MD 3.15) seamount events, occurring on 27 October, 2014 at 07:41:40.28 UTC. Seismograms are labeled by station name, with corresponding IRIS DMC network code and filter used. Direct P, S and duration picks used for location and magnitude estimation are shown. Sixteen of the stations have duration picks that are outside the shown time window.

Map of CSZ margin with regions colored by the extent of an applied velocity model. Regions were chosen to account for along-strike heterogeneity and to incorporate numerous velocity lines from multiple studies, as well as to account for differences where the crystalline Siletz terrane is present. One-dimensional velocity models are chosen from a series of seismic profile studies (Locations of 1-D models indicated by black squares) and include the ORWELL-1 and ORWELL-3 velocity models presented in Tréhu et al. (2015). Vp/Vs values used are noted by their corresponding 1-D model locations. Solid colored regions indicate where a single velocity model is applied; dashed lines indicate the extent of transition zones between single-model regions, where a mix of models is applied (Klein, 2002).

Comparison of common event depths (left) and magnitudes (right) determined from this study with those determined by other studies (Tréhu et al. 2015; 2018; Stone et al., 2018) and the regional Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN). For comparison with the Stone et al. (2018) catalog, we use 1-D velocity models from some of the same studies along the margin, but exact 1-D model locations and extent of where they are applied differ, as well as the models used for the Juan de Fuca plate and on land. Similarly, the 1-D velocity models used by PNSN differ from those we use, and the extents of where they are applied differ from those we determined.

Wadati diagrams for the seamount (left) and northern (right) clusters with pick-based Vp/Vs ratios. Symbols correspond to direct P- and S-wave picks on a given station. Linear arrival time (P or S) vs. S-P time behavior is expected for well-picked arrival times and is evident for our events. No event in the set has all station picks as outliers, indicating that the few outliers present are issues with individual station picks (although they appear acceptable) rather than issues with the location of the event.

Focal mechanisms determined for events in the seamount (left) and northern (right) clusters using the FocMec program (Snoke, 2003), colored by event depth. Events with multiple possible mechanism solutions show all solutions boxed together. Gray shaded regions are the M2 seamount magnetic anomaly (left) and G2 gravity anomaly (right). Colored vertical lines are the depth contours of the plate interface of Gerdom et al. (2000). Mechanisms with bold outlines (left) are consistent with the pattern predicted by the upper plate deformation model of seamount subduction (Dominguez et al., 1998; Wang and Bilek, 2011; 2014).
