Robert McNeesGeologist Marie Tharp was born #OTD in 1920. She built the first accurate map of the Atlantic Ocean floor, discovering the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that provided evidence for seafloor spreading and plate tectonics. 🧪 👩🔬 Image: Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Since I apparently cannot be stopped, now I'm learning how cryptic crosswords work. There must be at least one noble gas geochemist on this site who would be pleased to find that their field lends itself to such a clue.
Celeste LabedzWhat else is actually easier than expected??? Should I get into Rubik's cubes? Attempt woodworking? Buy a unicycle? Try some light white-collar crime? Maybe even cryptic crosswords? The possibilities seem endless now.
At my undergrad geology field camp, we often did multi-day partner/small group projects. You'd spend several days in a row talking almost exclusively with just 1-3 people. We had one student with a strong North Carolina accent. At the end of any project, you could ALWAYS tell who worked with her!
