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

Depth segmentation of the seismogenic continental crust: The 2008 and 2009 Qaidam earthquakes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used satellite radar measurements to show the ruptures of two Mw 63 earthquakes, occurring in almost the same epicentral location ten months apart in the Qaidam region, China, were nearly coplanar.

Controlling factor of incoming plate hydration at the north-western Pacific margin
Gou Fujie,Shuichi Kodaira,Yuka Kaiho,Yojiro Yamamoto,Tsutomu Takahashi,Seiichi Miura,Tomoaki Yamada +6 more
TL;DR: Results of controlled-source seismic surveys around the junction of the Japan and Kuril trenches junction show that pre-subduction bend faulting and post- subduction plate hydration are strongly correlated, and it is proposed this angle is a major factor controlling Plate hydration.

Seismic tomography of the Pacific slab edge under Kamchatka
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D P-wave velocity structure of the mantle down to 700 km depth under the Kamchatka peninsula was determined using 678 Pwave arrival times collected from digital seismograms of 75 teleseismic events.

Frequent channel avulsions within the active channel-levee system of the middle Bengal Fan - an exceptional channel-levee development derived from Parasound and Hydrosweep data
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined analysis of Parasound echosounder and Hydrosweep swath sounder data was performed on the active channel-levee system of the middle Bengal Fan.

Rapid strain accumulation on the Ashkabad fault (Turkmenistan) from atmosphere‐corrected InSAR
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured interseismic deformation across the Ashkabad strike-slip fault using 13 Envisat interferograms covering a total effective timespan of ∼30 years.
