Norburn, graduate student in Geology, both at the University of North Carolina. Norburn wrote her doctoral dissertation “The Influence of the Physiographic Features of Western North Carolina on the Settlement and Development of the Region” in 1932 under the direction of Collier Cobb. Ten years later she wrote “Asheville: In Land of the Sky” under her married name Martha Elizabeth Norburn Mead.
