Very exciting to see the post in the Map Room about Marie Tharp and the article in JSTOR Daily about her. I did an exhibit at the University of Arizona about her a few years ago, http://www.library.arizona.edu/news/entries/view/2801. I love the graphic we used for the announcement about the exhibit! An amazing woman!

Several Yukon communities are built on permafrost. In the context of climate change, that’s something of a problem. CBC News reports<http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/climate-change-mapping-permafrost-yukon-planning-1.3760361> on a six-year research project that has produced hazard maps of seven Yukon communities<http://www.yukoncollege.yk.ca/research/project/hazard_mapping>; the maps evaluate the risk to future development from permafrost melting, flooding and ground instability.

This short profile of Marie Tharp<http://daily.jstor.org/the-mother-of-ocean-floor-cartography/> — the third I’ve seen this year — is notable in that it’s at JSTOR Daily, and links to two of the research papers she co-authored with Bruce Heezen (both of which appear free to access, but require a JSTOR account). Direct links here<http://www.jstor.org/stable/73335?mag=the-mother-of-ocean-floor-cartography> and here<http://www.jstor.org/stable/73282?mag=the-mother-of-ocean-floor-cartography>.
