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

Active tectonics of Peru: Heterogeneous interseismic coupling along the Nazca megathrust, rigid motion of the Peruvian Sliver, and Subandean shortening accommodation

TL;DR: In this paper, GPS data from over 100 GPS sites measured in 2008-2013 in Peru provide new insights into the present-day crustal deformation of the 2200 km long Peruvian margin, which is squeezed between the eastward subduction of the oceanic Nazca Plate at the South America trench axis and the westward continental subduction in the South American Plate beneath the Eastern Cordillera and Subandean orogenic wedge.

Investigation of 3‐D basin structures in the İzmit Bay area (Turkey) by single‐station microtremor and gravimetric methods
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated 3D basin structures and site resonance frequencies in the Izmit Bay area of Turkey by new geophysical surveys based on 239 single station microtremor and 405-point gravity measurements.

A simple analytical approximation to the temperature structure in subduction zones
Philip England,Catherine Wilkins +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model is employed to find scaling relations between key features of the temperature structure of subduction zones and subduction zone parameters, such as the maximum temperature in the wedge above the slab, and the thickness of the advective boundary layer, all depend on a single dimensionless distance, Vrδ2/κ, where V is the speed of plate convergence, r is distance from the corner of the wedge, and δ is the dip of the slab.

Tremor asperities in the transition zone control evolution of slow earthquakes
TL;DR: In this article, a multibeam-backprojection (MBBP) method was developed to detect and locate tremor using multiple mini seismic arrays, which revealed the tectonic characteristics of the transition zone controlling the generation and evolution of slow earthquakes.

Modelling karst geomorphology on different time scales
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution and flow in a karst aquifer are studied with numerical simulations, based on the KARST model (Karst AquifeR Simulation Tool).

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.
