1500 x 1500 2 MB - JPEG
Published June 10, 2007
Water hyacinth, or Eichornia crassipes, ranks among the world’s most productive plants. Unfortunately, it has also proven to be one of the most troublesome. In 2006 in El Salvador’s Lake Olomega, where the aquatic plants are known locally as “ninfa” (the nymphs), they interfered with tourism, fishing, and even human health.

Wave Clouds over the Arabian Sea
6000 x 4800 3 MB - JPEG
Like a massive, ethereal bird gliding into the Persian Gulf, a large cluster of wave clouds spans the Arabian Sea from Oman to India. This cloud formation is likely an undular bore, which is created in the interaction between the cool, dry air in a low-pressure system with a stable layer of warm, moist air.

Mudtrails from Fishing Trawlers in Gulf of Mexico
6000 x 6000 44 MB - GeoTIFF
The pervasiveness of the influence of bottom trawlers on the Gulf of Mexico is evident in these images from NASA’s Landsat satellite. Showing two different areas of a single scene captured on October 24, 1999, the images reveal dozens of mudtrails streaking the Gulf in the wake of numerous trawlers, which appear as white dots. The amount of re-suspended sediment dredged up by the trawlers gives the water a cloudy appearance.
