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

Tsunami source of the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake
TL;DR: Tsunami waveform inversion for the 11 March, 2011, off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake (M 9.0) indicates that the source of the largest tsunami was located near the axis of the Japan trench as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is shown that the uncultured miscellaneous crenarchaeotal group (MCG) and marine benthic group-D (MBG-D) are among the most numerous archaea in the marine sub-sea floor and may have a previously undiscovered role in protein remineralization in anoxic marine sediments.

TL;DR: This article presented an updated synthesis of sea surface temperatures during the Last Glacial Maximum, rigorously defined as the period between 23 and 19 thousand years before present, from the Multiproxy Approach for the Reconstruction of the Glacial Ocean Surface (MARGO) project.

The effect of wind mixing on the vertical distribution of buoyant plastic debris
Tobias Kukulka,Giora Proskurowski,Giora Proskurowski,Skye Morét-Ferguson,D. Meyer,D. Meyer,Kara Lavender Law +6 more
TL;DR: Based on profile observations and a one-dimensional column model, Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper demonstrate that plastic debris is vertically distributed within the upper water column due to wind-driven mixing, which suggests that total oceanic plastics concentrations are significantly underestimated by traditional surface measurements, requiring a reinterpretation of existing plastic marine debris data sets.

Earthquake Fault Scaling: Self-Consistent Relating of Rupture Length, Width, Average Displacement, and Moment ReleaseEarthquake Fault Scaling: Self-Consistent Relating of Rupture Length, Width, Average Displacement
TL;DR: In this paper, the scaling relation W = C 1 L β (where β ≈ 2/3) was proposed to describe the scaling of rupture width with rupture length, where L 2.5 is the displacement per unit area of fault rupture.

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.
