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

Motion and rigidity of the Pacific Plate and implications for plate boundary deformation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used up to 11 years of data from a global network of Global Positioning System (GPS) stations, including 12 stations well distributed across the Pacific Plate, to derive present-day Euler vectors for the Pacific plate more precisely than has previously been possible from space geodetic data.

The Cretaceous and Cenozoic tectonic evolution of Southeast Asia
TL;DR: In this paper, a new regional plate model was proposed, which takes into account terrane suturing and accretion histories, the location of subducted slabs imaged in mantle tomography, as well as plausible absolute and relative plate velocities and tectonic driving mechanisms.

Evolution of the South China Sea: Revised ages for breakup and seafloor spreading
TL;DR: The seafloor spreading history of the South China Sea has been interpreted in different ways in the past and the debate over the correct timing of the major tectonic events continues as discussed by the authors.
