Science & Legacy
Lamont Marine geologist Vicki Ferrini's Story Map connects Marie Tharp’s revolutionary work and today's bathymetry mapping. Ferrini is part of a global collaborative effort to map the entire seafloor by the year 2030, called Seabed 2030. Check out the interactive tool that lets you compare Tharp and Heezen's 1959 map with the latest version of the Global Multi-Resolution Topography (GMRT) Synthesis, which is curated today at Lamont with support from the US National Science Foundation.
