Semi-automatic fracture zone tracking
This paper includes an update to the global seafloor tectonic fabric data set by Matthews et al. (JGR, 2011). Based on the vertical gravity gradient grid version 23.1, 85 new fracture zones were added, the extent of 156 fracture zones was revised, and 11 fracture zones were deleted.
