About this poster

“The Energetic Sea” is one of seven poster designs that Erik Nitsche created for the U.S. General Dynamics corporation on the occasion of the second International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Geneva. The aim of the series, which carried the slogan “Exploring the Universe”, was to show the various areas of scientific and technological research in which the corporation was active. This poster with the jellyfish represents research on the energy of marine currents, tides and waves.
