My latest addition to the geologic/spatial library/tchotchkes in my office at work…
This should be useful - along with the button maker and old maps for kids to select, cut out and make their own map buttons – on spatial outreach days and similar…

The geology of the ocean floor is truly spectacular — perhaps even more than land geology. Unfortunately, it's really hard to study.

I miss being a video game #cartographer. There's a sweet satisfaction in creating detailed maps instead of just the overview world maps provided by the game. No, I'm not as good as them 👇🏽

For Day 16 #sciArtSeptember prompt rift: my portrait of #geologist & oceanographic #cartographer Marie Tharp (1920-2006), whose pioneering, thorough & complete ocean floor maps with Bruce Heezen, made using realms of echo sounder data, revealed the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
After studying #geology & math, Maurice ‘Doc’ Ewing at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia hired her to draft 1000s of echo sounder profiles.

Note that this field will almost certainly change over your career and that is A-OK; I started out as an engineering geologist, still keep my license current, then environmental scientist including nuclear site cleanups, and now work in the area of spatial data for hydrology, next is…]
