The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Core Repository houses one of the largest collections of deep sea sediment cores, dredges, and corals in the world.
You may already know that Marie Tharp created some of the first maps of the ocean floor and helped discover plate tectonics. Here are 8 lesser-known facts about this history-making cartographer as we continue our #MarieTharp100 celebration! ldeo.columbia.edu/news-event…

An authority on Earth's past, world-renowned paleoclimatologist @moraymo is first woman and first climate scientist to lead Lamont, tackling our planet's urgent challenges and lack of #diversity, equity, and #inclusion in the sciences. Via @nytimes. nytimes.com/2020/07/10/clima…
Very pleased to announce that world-renowned paleoclimatologist and marine geologist @moraymo will serve as Lamont interim director and G. Unger Vetlesen Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences as of July 1 (ldeo.columbia.edu/news-event…). Learn more: earthday.ei.columbia.edu/mau…
Leah Raintree is Brooklyn-based #LMCCArtsCenterArtist focusing on human connection to Earth at intersection of art, ecology, and science. Leah is currently working in collaboration with @CoreRepository & its collection of deep-ocean sediment cores. @LMCCyoutube.com/watch?v=D2sAZVlj…
As Lamont intern, NJ HS senior Liliette Quintana studied sediment cores from a 12,000-yr-old peat bog off Long Island’s coast w/ researchers Clara Chang, Sean Kinney, Dorothy Peteet, Linda Heusser, @BogFossil to understand effects of climate on sea levels: rlsmedia.com/article/bergen-…
The Lamont-Doherty @CoreRepository is one of the largest in the world and the only one that has global coverage with their samples. This #EarthDay, learn more about how researchers use the cores stored at this facility to understand Earth's history. bit.ly/2yCICw7
A lending library of Earth's history, @CoreRepository has one of largest/most diverse collections. “Each one of our samples is a record of Earth’s climate & even a more local environmental history going back in time,” says @Curator_LDCR. Via @LabManager: labmanager.com/labs-less-ord…

We’ve only explored 5 percent of our oceans, yet #MarieTharp started mapping the ocean floor as early as 1957. Her discovery of the rift valley within the Mid-Atlantic ridge supported the theory of continental drift, but was pawned off as “girl talk.” #oceanx#WomensHistoryMonth

Changing perspectives of how clean the #HudsonRiver is in today's #YouthClimateSummit with @cejasper!
Red is post exploring the Past & Present of the HRE using sediment cores, hand samples, and X-ray elemental analysis. It's cleaner than you think!
