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 computers

The breakup of East Gondwana: Assimilating constraints from Cretaceous ocean basins around India into a best‐fit tectonic model

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors link East Gondwana spreading corridors by integrating magnetic and gravity anomaly data from the Enderby Basin off East Antarctica within a regional plate kinematic framework to identify a conjugate series of east-west-trending magnetic anomalies, M4 to M0.

Measurement of interseismic strain accumulation across the North Anatolian Fault by satellite radar interferometry

TL;DR: In this article, a 70 km wide region of crustal deformation across the eastern end of the North Anatolian Fault, Turkey is isolated by stacking multiple interferograms, after screening for atmospheric anomalies, effectively creating a new interferogram that covers a longer time interval.

Seasonal variation in total water storage in California inferred from GPS observations of vertical land motion

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical motion of Earth's surface in elastic response to seasonal changes in surface water storage in California is accurately recorded, and the authors invert the GPS observations of seasonal vertical motions to infer changes in equivalent water thickness.

The pest termites of South America: taxonomy, distribution and status

TL;DR: The most important structural pests are the introduced Coptotermes havilandi and Cryptotermes brevis and the native Nasutitermes corniger, and Reticulitermes was introduced into Uruguay and Chile, where it is the only serious pest.
