Imagine a World – Biosphere 2 Presentation by Mark Nelson, Ph.D.

In 1991, eight people sealed themselves for more than two years into a vast structure of glass pyramids and buildings. They were attempting to thrive as a closed ecosystem that could create its own oxygen and grow enough food to support the inhabitants. On Wednesday, April 13, join the High Desert Museum for the Biosphere 2 Presentation. They have the honor of meeting Mark Nelson, Ph.D., a member of the “Biospherian” crew featured in the original exhibit Imagine a World. Today, Nelson is chairman of the Institute of Ecotechnics, head of Wastewater Gardens International, and has worked for several decades in scientific fields such as bioregenerative space life support and restoration of damaged ecosystems. Nelson will share his experience and learnings through Biosphere 2 and his career.
