Climate change is not the only factor melting the Thwaites Glacier, the Earth itself may also be warming the massive block of Antarctic ice colloquially known as the ‘Doomsday Glacier.’<br/>

This video will aid in planning a successful winter overnight experience in the park. Park visitors not planning on this level of extreme winter recreation will appreciate the challenges highlighted in this short vignette into...

The Sun, Water Cycle, & Climate shows us how the sun produces heat to drive the water cycle. It's made clear that the water cycle continues in the absence of sunlight or heat. We learn how the two components of climate- temperature and...

Yosemite National Park is famous for its spectacular glacially carved landscape. Although glaciers have come and gone many times in the past, there are still two active glaciers near Yosemite's highest peaks.

The world's glaciers are shrinking at alarming rates, and many scientists believe it is due to changes in climate. Dr. Lonnie Thompson of Ohio State University and Dr. Douglas Hardy of UMass-Amherst discuss glaciers and how they...

This program begins by explaining how scientists have learned that Earth’s climate has changed many times over billions of years and that Earth’s climate is...

In this video, we learn about the processes of weathering and erosion that have shaped the Earth's surface over thousands of years. The video highlights the power of water in wearing down rocks and the ability of glaciers to erode large...

In this video, we learn about the water cycle and how water travels from the earth to the air and back again. We explore where water is found on Earth, including oceans, glaciers, rivers, and underground. We also learn about the...

Climate is the average type of weather that a region has. It is defined by temperature and moisture. Proximity to oceans and large mountain ranges defines climate too, depending upon the prevailing wind. While climates change over...

Water on Earth focuses on water as most kids would think about it. We start with water in obvious locations such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. We quickly learn that water can change phase to remain a solid in glaciers. Many kids may be...

The Antarctic Peninsula is currently dotted with numerous research stations and nations have made multiple claims of sovereignty. The peninsula is part of disputed and overlapping claims by Argentina, Chile and the United Kingdom. None...

In this week’s episode, we learn about new materials with self-healing properties that could also remove paint from walls. And we explore Greenland’s fastest moving glacier and how it affects sea level rise. Check it out!
