This program describes the major topographical features of Earth including mountains, plains, and plateaus. Footage from throughout North America takes students to the Rocky Mountains, the plains of Iowa, and the Colorado Plateau to...

NASA says it plans to launch an advanced laser instrument which would be used to monitor our planet's melting polar ice.

New research published in the journal Nature details findings that posit somewhere in East Asia is producing a banned ozone-depleting chemical.

Antarctic ice sheet melting could increase sea levels by over five meters by the year 3000 if current warming trends continue.

This live-action video program is about the word biome. The program is designed to reinforce and support a student's comprehension and retention of the word biome through use of video footage, photographs, diagrams and colorful, animated...

In around a billion years, increases in the sun’s energy output will ensure oxygen levels on Earth drop to levels that cannot sustain complex life, so we should build a giant thruster to shift the planet’s orbit.

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has opened a new Antarctic research station built to work in the most extreme conditions. The Halley VI research station, designed by Hugh Broughton Architects, was constructed on the floating Brunt Ice...

A team of 12 scientists from Britain have begun a mission to explore Lake Ellsworth in the north west of Antarctica. The 14-kilometer long, three-kilometer wide, 160-meter deep lake is located 3.2 kilometers beneath a glacier and is...

The Nobel Prize is often viewed as the ultimate achievement in science. But to what extent would you go to win it? In 2014, astronomer Dr. Brian Keating invented BICEP2, the most powerful cosmology telescope ever made. Using this, he...

Will the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico create dead zones? That's the concern of University of Georgia marine scientist Samantha Joye. She's headed to the gulf to investigate how the oil and methane gas discharged by the BP Deepwater...

Gonzalez Videla Base, is on the Antarctic mainland at Waterboat Point in Paradise Bay. It is named after Chilean President Gabriel Gonzalez Videla, who in the 1940s became the first chief of state of any nation to visit Antarctica. The...

With 17 trips (and counting) to Earth's polar regions spanning his mathematical career, mathematician Ken Golden of the University of Utah has been studying sea ice structure and behavior for over 20 years.



It turns...

In episode 72, Charlie and Jordan explore the first ever comprehensive count of Weddell seals in Antarctica: a citizen science program called Satellites Over Seals (SOS). SOS focuses on about 300 miles of Antarctic coastline along the...

The cutting-edge polar research ship the RRS Sir David Attenborough — which the British public attempted to name “Boaty McBoatface” — has set sail for the first time. <br/>

Signs of life have been detected in waters from a subglacial Lake Whillans half a mile beneath the surface of Antarctic. On Jan. 28, scientists retrieved a baseball bat-sized gray plastic vessel filled with water from Lake Whillans. The...

The Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf, which acts as a dam to slow the flow of ice off Antarctica into the ocean, has a series of fractures spanning almost the entire shelf that could break it up within five years.

Scientists are drilling into Antartica's ice sheets to study and hopefully find life in subglacial lakes that have been cut off from the atmosphere for millions of year. More than 300 such lakes, buried beneath two to three miles of ice,...

US scientists have drilled through 2,600 feet of ice to reach Lake Whillans, a subglacial lake buried beneath the Antarctic ice sheet. Over the next few days, scientists will perform a variety of tests on samples gathered from the lake's...

Scientists said iceberg D-28 is among the largest to calve from Antarctic ice in decades, but is not caused by climate change. <br/>

In this week's episode we discover a protein that could someday eliminate malaria, lear about microbes battling it out in Antarctica, explore super Wi-Fi that uses UHF channels and virtually unwrap a 1500-year-old scroll.

During a routine test of an underwater robot, NSF scientists from University of Nebraska-Lincoln made a startling discovery...an entirely new species of sea anemone living inside the ice.
