Sadly, Marie Tharp passed away on August 23, 2006. Her pioneering work in remote sensing and oceanography has impacted our understanding of Earth's geology and the dynamic processes beneath our oceans. Today, we celebrate her incredible achievements! 🌊🛰️🌍

Tharp's contributions were eventually recognized despite challenges as a woman in a male field. In 1997, she was awarded the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Heritage Award. In 2001, the Library of Congress named her one of the four greatest cartographers of the 20th century.

Tharp's ocean floor maps were groundbreaking and visually striking. In 1977, National Geographic published her world ocean floor map, which showcased the intricate topography of Earth's underwater landscape. 🌐🌊

Tharp's work revealed the presence of a continuous underwater mountain range, now known as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, running from Iceland to the tip of the Antarctic continent. This discovery would ultimately lead to the acceptance of the theory of plate tectonics. 🌍

At Lamont, Tharp worked alongside Bruce Heezen, a fellow oceanographer. Their collaboration would become a turning point in the history of oceanography. Tharp meticulously analyzed thousands of sonar readings collected during naval expeditions to map the ocean floor. 🗺️

Tharp earned a Master's degree in geology from the University of Michigan in 1944 and a Master's in mathematics from the University of Tulsa. In 1948, she joined the Lamont Geological Observatory (now the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory) at Columbia University. 🎓

Born on July 30, 1920, in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Marie Tharp grew up surrounded by science. Her father was a soil surveyor, and her mother, a Latin and German teacher, was also a keen map enthusiast. This combination of influences would shape Tharp's future career. #WomenInSTEM
