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

Tsunami waveform inversion including dispersive waves: the 2004 earthquake off Kii Peninsula, Japan
TL;DR: In this paper, a tsunami waveform inversion analysis based on the dispersive tsunami equations was conducted to estimate the initial water height distribution of the main shock and the foreshock.

Isostatic rebound following the Alpine deglaciation: impact on the sea level variations and vertical movements in the Mediterranean region
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors predict the long-term sea level variations induced by the melting of both the late Pleistocene and Alpine ice sheets and compare their results with the relative sea level (RSL) observations available in the Mediterranean region.

A Note on the Nodal Tide in Sea Level Records
TL;DR: In this article, Woodworth et al. discussed the likely amplitude and spatial dependence of the nodal (18.61-year) tide in mean sea level (MSL) records.

Crustal structure of the southern Okinawa Trough: Symmetrical rifting, submarine volcano, and potential mantle accretion in the continental back-arc basin
TL;DR: The southern Okinawa Trough exhibits an almost symmetric rift system across the rift axis (Yaeyama Rift) and the sedimentary layers are highly cut by inward dipping normal faults as discussed by the authors.
Supplementary material for "Origin of azimuthal seismic anisotropy in oceanic plates and mantle"
TL;DR: In this article, the lattice preferred orientation (LPO) inferred from mantle flow computations produces a plausible global background model for asthenospheric anisotropy underneath oceanic lithosphere.

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.
