Marie Tharp
<p>Marie Tharp (1920- 2006) made transformative contributions to the field of Earth Science and the year 2020 was celebrated as the centennial year of Marie’s birth.</p>
<p>Until the early 20th century the oceans were considered to be just featureless pools of water. Thanks to Marie’s powerful maps we were given the first detailed visual of the ocean floor’s rich topography. These maps showed that just like the land mass these massive water bodies have a complex architecture and are made up of mountains, and valleys, and plains.</p>
