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

Discrimination of induced seismicity by full moment tensor inversion and decomposition
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-step inversion of the full moment tensor was applied to detect induced seismicity in a set of natural and induced events of similar magnitude, which occurred in Germany and neighbouring regions.

Geodetic, teleseismic, and strong motion constraints on slip from recent southern Peru subduction zone earthquakes
Matthew E. Pritchard,Edmundo Norabuena,Chen Ji,Chen Ji,Rubén Boroschek,Diana Comte,Mark Simons,Timothy H. Dixon,Paul A. Rosen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used seismic and geodetic data both jointly and separately to constrain coseismic slip from the 12 November 1996 M_w 7.7 and 23 June 2001 M-w 8.5 southern Peru subduction zone earthquakes, as well as two large aftershocks following the 2001 earthquake.

Source model of the 2007 Mw 8.0 Pisco, Peru earthquake: Implications for seismogenic behavior of subduction megathrusts
Anthony Sladen,Hernando Tavera,Mark Simons,Jean Philippe Avouac,A. O. Konca,Hugo Perfettini,Laurence Audin,Eric J. Fielding,F. Ortega,Robin Cavagnoud +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar, teleseismic body waves, tsunami waveforms recorded by tsunameters, and field observations of coastal uplift, subsidence, and runup to develop and test a refined model of the spatiotemporal history of slip during the Mw 8.0 Pisco earthquake of 15 August 2007.

Terrestrial reference frame NA12 for crustal deformation studies in North America
TL;DR: In this paper, a terrestrial reference frame for geodetic studies of crustal deformation in North America has been developed, which is based on GPS data from 1996 to 2012, with step-free time spans of 4.7 to 16.1 years (mean 8.8 years).

Using leaf margin analysis to estimate the mid-Cretaceous (Albian) paleolatitude of the Baja BC block
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a new paleobotanical method for estimating paleolatitude and applied it to this problem, showing that the modern MAT field for North America is well correlated with latitude.

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.
