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 computers

A Three-Dimensional Radially-Anisotropic Model of Shear Velocity in the Whole Mantle

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D radially anisotropic S velocity model of the whole mantle (SAW642AN) is presented using a large three component surface and body waveform data set and an iterative inversion for structure and source parameters based on NACT.

Fault locking, block rotation and crustal deformation in the Pacific Northwest

TL;DR: In this article, the authors interpret Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements in the northwestern United States and adjacent parts of western Canada to describe relative motions of crustal blocks, locking on faults and permanent deformation associated with convergence between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates.

The 2016 central Italy seismic sequence: a first look at the mainshocks, aftershocks, and source models

TL;DR: The 2016 central Italy seismic sequence consists so far of a series of moderate-to-large earthquakes activating within a few months along a 60 km-long and Apenninic-trending normal-fault system.

Seismic image and origin of the Changbai intraplate volcano in East Asia: Role of big mantle wedge above the stagnant Pacific slab

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined P-wave tomography of the crust and upper mantle under the Changbai volcanic area in Northeast Asia by using 289,318 arrival-time data from 4802 local earthquakes and 9599 teleseismic events.
