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!

Hazard Maps of Yukon Communities
Posted: 16 Oct 2016 06:20 PM PDT Old
Crow Landscape Hazard Risk Map (detail). Several Yukon communities are built on permafrost. In the context of climate change, that’s something of a problem.
CBC News reports on a six-year research project that has produced
hazard maps of seven Yukon communities; the maps evaluate the risk to future development from permafrost melting, flooding
and ground instability. [CCA] |
Posted: 16 Oct 2016 05:47 PM PDT This short profile
of Marie Tharp — 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 and
here. [WMS] |
