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

MODMAG, a MATLAB program to model marine magnetic anomalies
TL;DR: A user-friendly MATLAB-based interface, called MODMAG, is presented, which allows one to perform forward modeling of marine magnetic anomalies resulting from several successive spreading periods with different spreading rates and asymmetric spreading possibly alternating with axial jumps.

Crustal thickness estimation beneath the southern central Andes at 30°S and 36°S from S wave receiver function analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the S wave receiver function (SRF) technique to investigate the crustal thickness beneath two seismic profiles from the CHARGE project in the southern central Andes.

Phase velocities of Rayleigh and Love waves in central and northern Europe from automated, broad-band, interstation measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an automated technique for the measurement of interstation phase velocities of (earthquake-excited) fundamental-mode surface waves in very broad period ranges.
