Sexual Harassment Allegations Wipe a Name Off the Map

Accusations of sexual harassment have ended the careers of men in many fields, forcing them out of prominent posts and ending relationships with shame. Now the impact has rippled all the way to Antarctic glaciers.  As a 22-year-old graduate student at Boston University (MA), Jane Willenbring traveled to Antarctica to complete research with Prof. David Marchant, a geologist so widely renowned that a seven-mile-long glacier there had been named for him. She would be isolated with a small group in extreme conditions, but she looked forward to weeks of intensive research. But instead of mentoring her, Dr. Willenbring said, Professor Marchant immediately began harassing her.
