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

Evolution of the Large-scale Active Manisa Fault, Southwest Turkey: Implications on Fault Development and Regional Tectonics
Erdin Bozkurt,Hasan Sözbilir +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report spectacular exposures of normal fault surfaces as parts of the Manisa Fault -a?50-km-long northeastward arched active fault that defines the northwestern edge of the Gediz Graben, which is subsidiary to the Gebrekgraben, and demonstrate the mechanism responsible for the growth and evolution of large-scale corrugated normal faults in southwest Turkey.
Electromagnetic images of the Trans-Hudson orogen: the North American Central Plains
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used magnetotelluric studies of the Trans-Hudson orogen over the last two decades, prompted by the discovery of a significant conductivity anomaly beneath the North American Central Plains (NACP), from over 300 sites yield an extensive database for interrogation and enable three-dimensional information to be obtained about the geometry of the orogen from southern North Dakota to northern Saskatchewan.

Dynamics and implications of slab detachment due to ridge‐trench collision
E. R. Burkett,Magali I. Billen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the approach of a buoyant spreading ridge to a subduction zone may lead to detachment of a subducted slab, which is consistent with observations in Baja California, where detachment of the Cocos slab may explain abandonment of observed segments of the East Pacific Rise.

Global topography and bathymetry grid improves research efforts
TL;DR: Jakobsson et al. as mentioned in this paper combined three publicly available gridded data sets of topography and bathymetry to produce a single, integrated data set with no loss in resolution.

The 2011 MW 6.8 Burma earthquake: fault constraints provided by multiple SAR techniques
Wanpeng Feng,Wanpeng Feng,Zhenhong Li,John Elliott,Yo Fukushima,Trevor Hoey,Andrew Singleton,Robert Cook,Zhonghuai Xu +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three different SAR techniques, namely conventional interferometry, SAR pixel offsets (SPO) and multiple-aperture InSAR (MAI), were employed to obtain the coseismic surface deformation fields along the ∼30 km length of the fault rupture.

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.
