Cartoon Scientist in a Canyon

A cheerful cartoon-style scientist in a bright lab coat and oversized goggles stands in a wide desert canyon. They hold a clipboard in one hand and a handheld spectrometer in the other, as if taking mineral readings. The canyon walls tower above with layered red-orange rock, striations, and floating dust motes. Sunlight streams through a high opening, casting warm golden light and bold shadows in a vibrant 2D cel-shaded art style. The scene includes a small backpack, a rock hammer at the belt, a beaker with a fizzing liquid in a pocket, a tiny lizard perched on a rock, and distant cacti. The composition is cinematic with a slight upward tilt to emphasize scale, bright colors, clean outlines, and a playful, educational tone.
