Her master's thesis was on mid-Cretaceous foraminifera of Oklahoma and Texas. At the University of Oklahoma, she met her future husband and long time scientific collaborator, Alfred R.

In 1953 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to allow her to take a sabbatical from her USGS appointment and travel to Europe to collect foraminifera with her husband.With her husband, Tappan Loeblich is the author of two major works on foraminiferal classification, two volumes in the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology Part C. Protista 2 (Sarcodina, Chiefly \"Thecamoebians\" and Foraminiferida), Volumes 1 and 2 (1964) USGS and the University of Kansas and their two volume work, Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification, published in 1988 by Springer. The Treatise classified foraminifera genera by the morphology of their external tests or shells, and Foraminferal Genera revised and refined the classification of forams by adding test internal characteristics and reviewing type specimens."@en }
