In which John Green teaches you a little bit about drought, which is a natural weather phenomenon, and famine, which is almost always the result of human activity. Throughout human history, when food shortages strike humanity, there was...

In which John Green teaches you about the Little Ice Age. The Little Ice Age was a period of global cooling that occurred from the 13th to the 19th centuries. This cooling was likely caused by a number of factors, including unusual solar...

Does it seem like your workweeks are full of bright sunny days and then every weekend, every time you make plans, it rains? It's not just you -- at least if you live in the Northeastern US, it really does rain every weekend. The reason...

Weather may be something you associate with life on land, but the ocean has its own version of fronts and storms. <b<br/>r/>

Groundhogs are famous in North America for "predicting" when spring will come (and also that Bill Murray movie). But while they might make for terrible meteorologists, they actually play a valuable role in several other scientific...

Mount Teide is one of the world’s largest active volcanoes, and there may be a way to use the basalt rock inside it to save humanity. Obviously, destroying an ancient volcano would cause catastrophic and unpredictable ecological fallout....

Agriculture is key to solving the climate crisis, but most farmers don’t have the financial incentive to switch to more eco-friendly practices, says banker and farmer Berry Marttin. He explores how improving the systems around carbon and...

Why is the middle of a hurricane sometimes so clear and calm?

Join SciShow Space as we complete our tour of the Solar System planets with the ice giants, Uranus and Neptune.

So we have Weather and Climate... but are they the same thing? No, no they are not. But they are both super important to how the geosphere is shaped. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina chats with us about the differences...

So, what's the difference between 'weather' and 'severe weather'? Is it just how hard the wind is blowing? Is it just thunder and lighting? Well, it can be some or all of those things. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks...

A technology to ignore birds on radar ended up being useful to study and conserve them.

Einstein didn't like quantum mechanics because it wasn't able to make perfect predictions... but science is not about what you like, it's about what's true!

While language models may help generate new ideas, they cannot attack the hard part of science, which is simulating the necessary physics, says AI professor Anima Anandkumar. She explains how her team developed neural operators — AI...

Farm labor is hot, backbreaking and dangerous work. To protect workers from extreme heat and workplace exploitation, farmworker Gerardo Reyes Chávez has teamed up with farm manager Jon Esformes for a unique partnership. Learn how their...

In this episode of SciShow Kids, Jessi and Squeaks learn about places with record-breaking rainfall.

In this SciShow Kids episode, Jessi and Squeaks learn about amazing places where it almost never rains. <br/>

From cyclones to snowstorms, Earth is home to some spectacular weather events. But they're nothing compared to what you can find on the other planets in our solar system. Magnetic tornadoes? Ammonia mushballs? Let's (not literally) dive...

So we all know about the carbon cycle, and the water cycle, and maybe even the nitrogen cycle. But new research has figured out there's a salt cycle, too. Problem is, that same research has found that we already broke it. Here's what...

Get to know plasma, the most common, but probably least understood, phase of matter in the universe!

Mars has a ton of amazing features waiting to be explored, but we have to get there first. Thanks to our partners at the Boston Museum Of Science for helping us think about everything we need to plan a trip! Squeaks and Jessi would love...

Put on your spacesuits, because we’re off to explore Mars! We’ll learn all about how we could live there, and meet the robots that already do!<br/>

Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones are Earth’s most powerful storms, capable of unleashing destruction and death on coastal areas worldwide. As climate change warms Earth’s oceans, we face more risk of storms rapidly...
