This is a small inset drawing of a truck traveling a haul road from a mine site.  It is a southwestern landscape, and depicts dust kicked from the road and becoming airborne over the surrounding vegetation and landscape.

Part of a series of small inset drawings, this is quite simply, an Elk. The backdrop is that of pinyon pine and Red Butte.

This is a loosely drawn illustration of two hikers on the trail. It was drawn for the final page of a fact sheet and intended for text overlay. The text primarily indicates avenues of further study and next steps of the project.

James Romano holds a water sample collected at the end of Wilson Park Creek in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The creek drains into the Kinnickinnic River, which eventually reaches the Milwaukee Estuary and Lake Michigan. Samples there are analyzed for same parameters as all the other sites.
