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

The relationship between depth, age and gravity in the oceans
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reassess the applicability of the thermal plate cooling model to the subsidence of the North Pacific, Atlantic and North Indian Ocean Basins and find that the average variation of depth with age is consistent with conventional half-space models until about 90 Myr.

Holocene relative sea-level change, isostatic subsidence and the radial viscosity structure of the mantle of northwest Europe (Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, southern North Sea)
TL;DR: A comprehensive observational database of Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) index points from northwest Europe (Belgium, the Netherlands, northwest Germany, southern North Sea) has been compiled in order to compare and reassess the data collected from different countries/regions and by different workers on a common time-depth scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution lithospheric structure beneath Mainland China from ambient noise and earthquake surface-wave tomography
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a high-resolution shear-velocity model of the lithosphere (down to about 160 km) beneath China using Rayleigh-wave tomography.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine seismological observations, geologic field data and space geodetic measurements to show that, instead, the rupture process involved slip on multiple faults, and they conclude that similarly complex earthquakes in tectonic environments that accommodate both translation and convergence may be missing from the prehistoric earthquake record.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tectonic model reconciling evidence for the collisions between India, Eurasia and intra-oceanic arcs of the central-eastern Tethys
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assimilate geological and geophysical evidence into a plate tectonic model for the India-Eurasia collision that includes continuously closing topological plate polygons, constructed from a time-dependent network of evolving plate boundaries, with synthetic plates constructed for now-subducted ocean floor, including back-arc basins that formed on the southern Eurasian margin.

Free software helps map and display data
Paul Wessel,Walter H. F. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) is introduced, which is a free, public domain software package that can be used to manipulate columns of tabular data, time series, and gridded data sets and to display these data in a variety of forms ranging from simple x-y plots to maps and color, perspective, and shaded-relief illustrations.
