Biosphere 2 Project undertaken by Space Biosphere Ventures, a private ecological research firm funded by Edward P. Bass of Texas.  Carl Hodges, Director of the Environmental Research Lab at the University of Arizona and a consultant of the project. Biosphere 2 was a privately funded experiment, designed to investigate the way in which humans interact with a small self-sufficient ecological environment, and to look at possibilities for future planetary colonization. The $30 million Biosphere covers 2.5 acres near Tucson, Arizona, and was entirely self- contained. The eight ‘Biospherian’s’ shared their air- and water-tight world with 3,800 species of plant and animal life. The project had problems with oxygen levels and food supply, and has been criticized over its scientific validity. MODEL RELEASED 1989

  • British Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team sweeping for unexploded ordinance and bomblets in the devastated desert landscape in the burning Magwa oil fields in Kuwait after the end of the Gulf War (near GC1: Gathering Center One). More than 700 wells were set ablaze by retreating Iraqi troops creating the largest man-made environmental disaster in history. The entire country was walked by teams of experts and more people died in this cleanup effort than US and Coalition soldiers killed during the actual war.

  • A cluster bomb in the desert by an oil well fire, Southern Iraqi oil field. Unexploded cluster bombs litter the area around the burning oil wells in Iraq's Rumaila Oil Field in Southern Iraq. The wells were set on fire with explosives by retreating Iraqi troops when the US and UK invasion began. The cluster bombs were dropped by US forces to clear the oil well area. A number of them do not explode and this unexploded ordnance is another hazard faced by the experts who have to put the fires out and restore the well heads. The Rumaila field is one of Iraq's biggest oil fields with five billion barrels in reserve. Many of the wells are 10,000 feet deep and produce huge volumes of oil and gas under tremendous pressure, which makes capping them very difficult and dangerous. Rumaila is also spelled Rumeilah.

  • Philip Zimmerman: a data security expert who wrote a famous cryptography program for encoding computer communications, at the IT Conference on Computer Freedom and Privacy in San Francisco, California (1995) Zimmermann created a powerful encryption program called "Pretty Good Privacy" (PGP) and made it available for free. Zimmermann is in trouble now because his "cryptography for the masses" slipped out of America via the Internet and has been downloaded by many foreigners. He was being investigated for violating a federal weapons-export-law. (Because it makes it hard for the Feds to eavesdrop on the Internet when people encrypt their messages). Zimmermann was photographed with looking through the encryption code that was printed out on acetate. Model Released. (1995).

  • George Callison, an expert on dinosaurs, and an artist, sketches and makes notes for upcoming dinosaur models and exhibits in front of a Tyrannosaurus Rex head  at the Dinamation factory in Los Angeles, California. Dinamation International, a California-based company, makes a collection of robotic dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are sent out in traveling displays to museums around the world. The dinosaur's robotic metal skeleton is covered by rigid fiberglass plates, over which is laid a flexible skin of urethane foam. The creature's joints are operated by compressed air and the movements controlled by computer.

  • Brown tree snake in bed with a very young sleeping child: every parent's worst fear. photo illustration. There are no birds on the Pacific Island of Guam thanks to the Brown Tree Snake. These hungry egg-eating snakes have overrun the tropical island after arriving on a lumber freighter from New Guinea during World War II. Besides wiping out the bird population, Brown Tree Snakes cause frequent power outages: they commit short circuit suicide when climbing between power lines. They invade people's homes through the smallest openings. They have emerged from toilets. And they love the smell of babies. Several sleeping infants have been injured by the snake trying to swallow an arm or a leg...For this photo, an expert researcher and handler of brown tree snakes placed a brown tree snake that had been in a refrigerator to restrict its movement (cold blooded animals do not move much when they are chilled) on the bed with the sleeping child and monitored its movement as it warmed up. As it warmed up, the snake sensed the baby's breath and started to move toward it.

  • Fossil fraud: Christian Ratsch, a fossil expert, holding a stone containing three fossilized trilobites. The three fossils are, themselves, genuine, but had been bonded together to raise their collective price. An amateur collector may not have noticed this fraud. The trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods, which lived between the Cambrian Era (570 million years before present) and the Permian Era (230 million years BP). Although generally small in size, averaging 8cm in length, some specimens of 70cm length have been seen. MODEL RELEASED (1991)

  • A German fossil expert carrying the skull of a fossil fish, Xiphactinus. This photo was taken in a motel in Tucson, Arizona, during the annual Fossil Fair. Amateur and commercial collectors gather at the fair to trade in fossil remains. Although many academics are unhappy with such events, amateur collectors frequently discover the remains of previously unknown species or very fine examples of known species. Such fossils are recovered from private land: in the USA private individuals are rarely granted the special license needed to hunt for fossils on public land. MODEL RELEASED (1991)

  • Musing over the possible hierarchy of humans and humanoids, Takeo Kanade, the director of the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA and an expert in vision systems, posits, "We are facing the fact that we may not be, any longer, the single entity that does a better job in all aspects. How we as human beings will react to it, I don't know. But we are surpassed by many artificial things already. We don't mind that we have turned computing numbers over to machines; humans are not afraid of that at all." From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 23.

  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). With a single expert rifle shot, Emil Madsen kills a seal just after midnight in Scoresby Sound, the enormous fjord on Greenland's eastern side. At the bullet's point of impact, a crown of water rises from the sea. The sound does not disturb Emil's son Abraham or his nephew Julian, who have fallen asleep under some old jackets in the bow. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 150).
