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

Ice loss rates at the Northern Patagonian Icefield derived using a decade of satellite remote sensing
TL;DR: In this article, a satellite-based survey of glacier surface elevation changes, speeds and surface melt conditions between 2000 and 2011 was used to quantify mass loss from the Northern Patagonian Icefield (NPI), Chile.

The Location and Sizing of Historical Earthquakes Using the Attenuation of Macroseismic Intensity with Distance
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for computing the parameters of earthquakes using macroseismic data and the uncertainties associated with these parameters is described, which allows for the location of epicenters that are offshore or that have no intensities assigned to any points in the epicentral region by maximizing the likelihood function of an attenuation equation with observed intensity data.

Mantle upwellings, melt migration and the rifting of Africa: insights from seismic anisotropy
TL;DR: In this paper, anisotropy analysis of the East African Rift System (EARS) has been performed using the EAGLE project, which provides a detailed image of the Ethiopian part of the rift that spans the transition from continental rifting to incipient oceanic spreading.
