TLDR
GMT allows users to manipulate (x,y,z) data, and generate PostScript illustrations, including simple x-y diagrams, contour maps, color images, and artificially illuminated, perspective, and/or shaded-relief plots using a variety of map projections.
Abstract
Version 31 of the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) has been released More than 6000 scientists worldwide are currently using this free, public domain collection of UNIX tools that contains programs serving a variety of research functions GMT allows users to manipulate (x,y) and (x,y,z) data, and generate PostScript illustrations, including simple x-y diagrams, contour maps, color images, and artificially illuminated, perspective, and/or shaded-relief plots using a variety of map projections (see Wessel and Smith [1991] and Wessel and Smith [1995], for details) GMT has been installed under UNIX on most types of workstations and both IBM-compatible and Macintosh personal computers

Afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation following the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake (Mw9.0) inferred from inland GPS and seafloor GPS/Acoustic data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simultaneously estimate 2.5 years of afterslip and viscoelastic relaxation, as well as coseismic slip, for the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake.

Seismicity in Iceland: 1994-2007

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the general seismicity of Iceland, as monitored by the growing seismic network, and discussed changes in the sensitivity along with the seismic activity, instead of setting a lower limit to the size of earthquakes to be considered in this paper.

Colonization of a ‘Lost World’: Encrustation Patterns in Modern Subtropical Brachiopod Assemblages

TL;DR: The results provide a baseline for evaluating the encrustation of modern bivalves and ancient brachiopods, and may elucidate the macroevolutionary history of epibionts and their relationship to their hosts.
