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 computersread more

The Agulhas Plateau: Structure and evolution of a Large Igneous Province
TL;DR: In this article, a velocity-depth model reveals a mean crustal thickness of 20 km with a maximum of 24 km, where three major units can be identified in the crust, and the total volume of the Agulhas Plateau was estimated to be 4 × 10 6 km 3 of which about 10 per cent consists of extruded igneous material.

An investigation of seismicity clustered near the Cordel Field, west central Alberta, and its relation to a nearby disposal well
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the seismicity in this region using data obtained from recently established regional arrays, emphasizing the relationship between a disposal well in the Cordel Field and a nearby cluster of previously reported earthquakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated fault model discretization for inversions for coseismic slip distributions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the concept of smoothing scales, derived from the model resolution matrix, to resize dislocations so that each dislocation is sized appropriately given the area over which slip in that region of the fault would be smoothed.

The spread of Abies throughout Europe since the last glacial period: combined macrofossil and pollen data
TL;DR: In this article, the location of the last glacial refugia and postglacial spread of Abies throughout Europe based on combined pollen and macro-fossil data is reconstructed.

Development of a globally applicable model for near real-time prediction of seismically induced landslides
M. Anna Nowicki,M. Anna Nowicki,David J. Wald,Michael W. Hamburger,Michael Hearne,Eric M. Thompson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a statistical model for estimating the spatial distribution of landslides in near real-time around the globe for use in conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response (PAGER) system.

Free software helps map and display data
Paul Wessel,Walter H. F. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) is introduced, which is a free, public domain software package that can be used to manipulate columns of tabular data, time series, and gridded data sets and to display these data in a variety of forms ranging from simple x-y plots to maps and color, perspective, and shaded-relief illustrations.
