In 1957, while working with British biochemist A.J.P. Martin at NIMR,
Lovelock invented the ECD, a device used in gas chromatography
that draws upon the ionisation properties of argon to detect trace
atoms and molecules in a gas sample. The ECD has been used to
determine the concentrations of halogen compounds in food and in
the atmosphere, including compounds associated with residues of the
pesticide DDT and with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and
chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs). In 1959 Lovelock received a D.Sc. from
the University of London, where he studied biophysics.
This groundbreaking, two-hour special, reveals a spectacular new
space-based VISION of our PLANET. Produced in extensive consultation
with NASA scientists, NOVA takes data from earth-observing satellites
and transforms it into dazzling visual sequences, each one exposing
the intricate and surprising web of natural forces that sustains life on
earth - and concludes with revelations about the role which humanity
plays, in respect to our impact on, the process of interconnectivity
of, those VERY life sustaining natural forces ... a computer generated
animation based on multiple overlays of real-time satellite data which
demonstrates conclusively how LIFE on our planet - within our solar system,
galaxy and universe - IS regulated by nature as one LIVING SYSTEM ...
a worthy successor, indeed, to the very first image of our blue planet
from space, which no doubt acted as the catalyst for James Lovelock
to write his epic GAIA, in collaboration with Lynn Margulis.
