1976300569New York: American Geographical Society 1976. unbound. Tanguy de Remur. Laminated Map. Full-color offset lithograph. 40 3/4 x 26 3/4 inches. Some scuffs and abrasions but otherwise in good condition.<br/><br/> Iconic map of the impressive terrain below the ocean surface showing fracture zones trenches rift valleys and undersea mountain ranges including the immense Mid-Oceanic Ridge. Geological features above and below the ocean are labeled with heights and depths indicated. The work was produced from thousands of sonar images. Bathymetry is the study of underwater depth of ocean floors or lake floors equivalent to hypsometry or topography. This edition with Editions Pierre Charron produced with the American Geographical Society.<br><br>Marie Tharp 1920-2006 was a prominent American oceanographic cartographer and geologist whose work was incredibly important to modern earth science and to the advancement of women in the field. The discovery of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and our modern understanding of plate tectonics and continental drift has been attributed to Tharp - although at the time she was often uncredited for her work. Bruce Charles Heezen 1924 %u2013 1977 was an American geologist. Under Tharp's influence he gave up the idea of an expanding earth for a form of continental drift. Tharp was Heezen's assistant while he was a graduate student. When she showed Heezen that her plotting of the North Atlantic revealed a rift valley Heezen dismissed it as "girl talk". She persisted and they eventually discovered that not only was there a North Atlantic rift valley but a mountain range with a central valley that spanned the earth.
