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

The kinematics of crustal deformation in Java from GPS observations: Implications for fault slip partitioning
Achraf Koulali,Simon McClusky,Susilo Susilo,Yosafat Leonard,Phil R. Cummins,Paul Tregoning,Irwan Meilano,Joni Efendi,Antonius B. Wijanarto +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use geodetic constraints from the Global Positioning System (GPS) to quantify the present day crustal deformation in Java, which is consistent with a NE-SW convergence between the Australian Plate and southeast Asia.

The dependence of UK extreme sea levels and storm surges on the North Atlantic Oscillation
TL;DR: The role of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in effecting changes in winter extreme high and low waters and storm surges in UK waters has been investigated with the use of a depth-averaged tide+surge numerical model.

Source-Scaling relationship for M 4.6-8.9 earthquakes, specifically for earthquakes in the Collision Zone of Taiwan
Yin Tung Yen,Kuo Fong Ma +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the source scaling of earthquakes (Mw 4.6-8.9), mostly from the Taiwan orogenic belt, and made a global compilation of source parameters to examine the scaling self-similarity.

Correlation of seismic and petrologic thermometers suggests deep thermal anomalies beneath hotspots

TL;DR: In this article, a global negative correlation between the thickness of the mantle transition zone (near 410-660 km depth) and petrologically determined potential temperatures of mid-ocean ridge and hotspot magmas was found.

The Acquisition of Source, Path, and Site Effects from Microearthquake Recordings Using Q Tomography: Application to the United Kingdom
TL;DR: In this article, the S wave is extracted from the vertical records and is processed using a multitaper Fourier transform, and the resultant amplitude parameters are then split into source moments, apparent geometrical spreading, and site correction factors.

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.
