Happy Birthday to Marie Tharp (July 30, 1920 – August 23, 2006), American geologist and oceanographic cartographer. An extraordinary woman, whose pioneering work was done under the shadows of men - her name did not appear on any of the major papers on plate tectonics that her collaborator Heezen and others published between 1959 and 1963. Check out the thread below for a glimpse into her life and work. https://fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/112876640022072269 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Tharp #Science 1/n
