The natural interaction of aquatic sediment
Title: The natural interaction of aquatic sediment

Contact: Mieke Roth

Description: I am working on a series of large illustrations for a Dutch governmental institution that is in charge of the maintenance of the waterways in the west of the Netherlands. Over the next 10 years a large project is being conducted in which most of these waterways are deepened. This detailed illustration is a part the second large illustration of the series, incorporated in several newsletters for the general public. The aim is to inform and to get the public involved in the decision process. This specific illustration is explaining why, if a waterway is at the right depth, one shouldn't try to stop the accumulation of sediment at the bottom of the waterway. As are all the illustrations in this series, this is again a typical Dutch landscape.

Vulcanoid Asteroid
Title: Vulcanoid Asteroid

Contact: Dr Jon Heras

Description: Computer artwork of a vulcanoid asteroid, which is a hypothetical group of asteroids which may orbit the Sun inside the orbit of Mercury, with a gravitationally stable orbit between 0.08 and 0.21 astronomical units (AU). Confirmation or dismissal of this theory has been difficult due to their proximity to the Sun, the Sun's glare, and the relatively poor exploration of the near-solar region. The intense heat would have evaporated much of the material, leaving concentrated deposits of metals such as iron, nickel and gold - and so would be of interest for commercial space mining.
