Happy birthday to Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann (1888 – 1993) who demonstrated that the Earth's core is not a single molten sphere, but contained an inner solid core, in ‘36. She was a trailblazer woman in science, a brilliant seismologist & lived to be 105. 🐡🧪👩🏼🔬⚒️#histsci

Inge Lehmann, a Danish seismologist & geophysicist, discovered evidence of the Earth's solid inner core & molten outer core. Her work was confirmed by computer models decades later, but she did all her data collection & calculations by hand. More: https://adalovelaceday.substack.com/p/inge-lehman...
Happy #InternationalWomensDay! We want to give a shoutout to Inge Lehmann, a Danish seismologist who discovered seismic evidence of the earth's inner, solid core in 1928. Read more about her and her work: www.amnh.org/learn-teach/...
Lehmann used seismic signals to expand our knowledge of the Earth's core.

Esther Richards was born November 24, 1895. In 1921, she suggested that microfossils could be used in stratigraphy. Her study was ridiculed by Professor J.J. Galloway: “Gentlemen, you know that it can’t be done.” wp.me/p3ihHu-4DF #WomenInSTEM #histsci #EarthScience ⚒️
I had a nice little discovery on Ancestry yesterday. I discovered that my GGG-GM's brother who was born in France moved to Alabama during the 1850s. I had been searching for him for a couple years!
living in yorkshire, i was genuinely searching the photo for a clue about what prompted your post :)

Herr Lehmann was so cool. I wish Berlin was real
