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

A Robust Estimation of the 3-D Intraplate Deformation of the North American Plate From GPS
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 3,271 Global Positioning System (GPS) station velocities to image 3D deformation across the entire North American plate and found that most of the plate is moving at 1-2 mm/year towards central Canada.

Multiple‐frequency SH‐wave tomography of the western US upper mantle
TL;DR: In this paper, a joint inversion on the measured traveltime and amplitude anomalies, interpreting them in terms of velocity and attenuation heterogeneities was performed, which suggests that temperature plays a major role in forming the anomalies.

The AUSGeoid09 model of the Australian Height Datum
Will Featherstone,Jonathan Kirby,Christian Hirt,Michael Filmer,Sten Claessens,N. J. Brown,Guorong Hu,Gary Johnston +7 more
TL;DR: AUSGeoid09 as mentioned in this paper is the new Australia-wide gravimetric quasigeoid model that has been a posteriori fitted to the Australian Height Datum (AHD) so as to provide a product that is practically useful for the more direct determination of AHD heights from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

Bulk crustal properties in NE Tibet and their implications for deformation model
Xiaobo Tian,Zhongjie Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution of crustal thickness and Vp/Vs ratio in the northeastern (NE) Tibetan Plateau was investigated using the receiver functions from the teleseismic P wave data recorded from 2007 to 2009.
