The Deepest Map: The High-Stakes Race to Chart the World's Oceans by Laura Trethewey

5.0

I think this book was a really interesting read. Highlighting Cassie as the main character in the book to tell us the story and the importance of this work was special. She told the story in a way that I, a young, female, PhD student in Oceanography could relate to. I enjoyed the way she wrapped history into the story of what is to come for mapping the seabed. She highlighted the scary potential of history repeating itself with colonizing land masses and now colonizing the seafloor and what will that mean for the health of the ocean and the future of development. I also got to meet Laura for lunch and talk about this book and that was super special.
