Marie Tharp

Moday's Google Doodle was a celebration of the work of pioneering geologist Marie Tharp.

Marie Tharp has featured on this blog a number of times before.

She completed some vital work mapping the ocean floor. I have a picture book which tells her life story, and the graphics here look similar to that book.

If you follow the link you can see the story behind the creation of the mapping, and also the Doodle itself., Like all Google Doodles, a great deal of work goes into them.
