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

Seismogenic zone structure beneath the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, from three-dimensional local earthquake P- and S-wave tomography

TL;DR: In this paper, hypocenters and 3-D seismic velocity models (VP and VP/VS) calculated using simultaneous inversion of P- and S-wave arrival time data recorded from small magnitude, local earthquakes to elucidate seismogenic zone structure are presented.

European–Mediterranean Regional Centroid Moment Tensor catalog: Solutions for 2005–2008

TL;DR: The European-Mediterranean Regional Centroid Moment Tensor (RCMT) catalog as mentioned in this paper contains seismic-moment tensors for earthquakes with moderate magnitude (4.5-5.5) in the Mediterranean and European regions.

The role of structural inheritance in oblique rifting: Insights from analogue models and application to the Gulf of Aden

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of an initial oblique weakness in the lithospheric mantle (i.e., structural or thermal inheritance) by introducing an oblique rheological weakness, which is alternatively initially imposed or dismissed, was investigated.

Integration of InSAR Time-Series Analysis and Water-Vapor Correction for Mapping Postseismic Motion After the 2003 Bam (Iran) Earthquake

TL;DR: This paper shows that a better TS of postseismic motion after the 2003 Bam (Iran) earthquake is achievable after reduction of water-vapor effects using the InSAR TS + PWV technique with coincident MERIS NIR water- vapor data.

Mapping the Moho with seismic surface waves: A review, resolution analysis, and recommended inversion strategies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review surface-wave studies of the Moho, with a focus on early work, and then use model-space mapping to establish the waves' sensitivity to the MohO depth and the resolution of their inversion for it.
