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

Northern Red Sea: Nucleation of an oceanic spreading center within a continental rift
TL;DR: A new compilation of marine geophysical data permits delineation of the structure of the northern Red Sea and of the manner in which the transition from continental to oceanic extension is occurring in this rift as mentioned in this paper.

Geophysical characteristics of the ultraslow spreading Gakkel Ridge, Arctic Ocean
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetic signals along the dense (2 km spacing) aeromagnetic flight lines acquired at the same time show a good correlation between high amplitudes and a shallowing of the rift valley and the presence of large volcanic constructions at the rift shoulders.

Constraining South Atlantic growth with seafloor spreading data
Lucía Pérez-Díaz,Graeme Eagles +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a joint inversion for seafloor spreading data was used to model the entire divergence history of the South Atlantic opening history, and the pre-Campanian motion parameters were the first to feature formal uncertainty estimates.

Geodetic evidence of back-arc spreading in the Mariana Trough
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the Euler pole of the Mariana forearc with respect to the Philippine Sea plate is well south of the geographical point where the back-arc basin narrows to zero width.

Subduction Erosion — the “Normal” Mode of Fore-Arc Material Transfer along the Chilean Margin?
Nina Kukowski,Onno Oncken +1 more
TL;DR: Based on a compilation of published and newly derived estimates of subduction erosion along the Chilean part of the Andean margin, the authors discuss possible loci and modes of subsurface erosion and also address the potential of subducting topographic highs for accelerating subduction degradation.

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.
