Ecology

  • The image shows a cluttered scene filled with a massive amount of discarded items, including various types of debris, appliances, and objects that appear to be from different categories. Amidst this chaotic environment, a person is seen walking through the debris, navigating the piles of junk. The area looks like a dump or recycling site, emphasizing the vast accumulation of waste and the struggle to find salvageable materials within. “Boots on the Ground” leave footprints: the Anthropogenic Legacy of the US Military in the Middle East Bruce Stanley · September 2021
  • The image depicts a large industrial facility, likely an oil refinery or petrochemical plant. It features numerous large storage tanks, interconnected pipelines, and extensive infrastructure. The site is expansive, suggesting significant industrial activity, and it appears to be located in a relatively arid region, as indicated by the surrounding landscape. There are various structures for processing and storage, emphasizing the complexity and scale of the operation. Saudi Aramco: Last Man Standing in the Oil Era Sebastian Castelier · May 2021
  • The image depicts a wide, unpaved road extending through a dry, barren landscape. On either side of the road, there are several large wind turbines standing tall against a clear blue sky. The terrain appears arid, with sparse vegetation and a sandy or rocky surface. The road is lined with small posts or markers, adding a structured element to the otherwise natural setting. The overall atmosphere conveys a sense of open space and renewable energy in a desert-like environment. Oman Stymied by the “Green” Turning Sebastian Castelier · April 2021
  • The image shows a grocery store shelf displaying a variety of packaged food items, primarily focused on fresh produce and seafood. There are containers of different types of mushrooms, noodles, and possibly other vegetables. A prominent sign labeled "Qatar Products" indicates a selection of items that are local or regional. The shelves are organized, showcasing a well-stocked array of products. Qatar: Farming Ambitions Detrimental to the Environment Sebastian Castelier · October 2019
  • The image depicts a scenic landscape featuring a river flowing through a valley. On the left side, there are rocky cliffs and remnants of ancient structures, hinting at a historical settlement. The area appears to be a mix of natural and man-made elements, with a few buildings clinging to the hillside. In the background, there are more cliffs and a prominent tower-like structure, suggesting a rich history and possibly a fortified site. The sky is partly cloudy, adding to the serene atmosphere of the scene. Turkey. When Dams Threaten World Heritage Sites Pelin Cengiz · November 2016
