Happy birthday to & oceanographic 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 & math, Maurice 'Doc' Ewing at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia hired her to draft 1000s of echo sounder profiles. Women were still not allowed to participate in

And why might and be pissed off? Might have something to do with rising ocean temperatures (affecting their food sources) and all the CRAP we've been dumping into the world's oceans!

Signs of the human era, from fallout to

AFP, 10/07/2023

Paris (AFP) – As scientists make the case that humans have fundamentally transformed the planet enough to warrant our own geological epoch, another question arises: is there anything left untouched by humanity's presence?

"Soaring gases, ubiquitous microplastics, pervasive "forever chemicals", the global upheaval of animals, even old and chicken bones -- all have been put forward as evidence that the world entered the , or era of humans, in the mid-20th century.

"Jan Zalasiewicz, a British who chaired the Anthropocene Working Group for over a decade, paused for a moment when asked if there was anywhere on Earth that lacked signs of human influence.

"'It's hard to think of a more remote place' than the in , Zalasiewicz told AFP.

"Yet when scientists drilled deep below the glacier's ice a few years ago, they found traces of .

"It was lingering fallout from nuclear weapon tests that began in 1945, leaving behind a presence unlike anything before.

"Zalasiewicz said these radionuclides represented perhaps 'the sharpest signal' to mark the start of the Anthropocene epoch 70 years ago."
