The mammoths fossils found on the Channel Islands off the coast of southern California are much smaller than their relatives found on the mainland. They were so small that they came to be seen as their own species. How did they get...

In between two of the islands of Indonesia, there’s an ancient line that is both real and…not real.

If an asteroid were headed for Earth, we'd all band together and figure out how to stop it, just like in the movies, right? And yet, when faced with major, data-supported, end-of-the-world problems in real life, too often we retreat into...

Science Kids Antarctica and the Melting Ice Shelf V1-0001

The collapse of the Conger Ice Shelf in East Antarctica in 2022, the first of its kind in human history, highlighted the vulnerability of Antarctic ice to rising...

Each year, flooding kills around 100 Americans and displaces some 75,000 from their homes. And as sea levels rise, storms dump more and more rain, and dams and levees continue aging and increasingly failing, the cost of flooding is...

The catastrophic effects of the ‘Lunar Nodal Cycle’.

Laser technology aboard aircraft has allowed scientists to measure the Greenland Ice Sheet, one of the largest bodies of ice in the world. Is it growing or shrinking? Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. NASA scientists...

Today, we delve into a crucial aspect of climate change - the melting of ice caps and how they impact sea levels.

In this hands-on science experiment, we simulate how melting land ice (ice on pebbles) and sea ice (ice in water)...

What is global warming and climate change and how will they affect the planet? Learn about how and increase in greenhouses gases is leading to global warming, and how organisms across the world are responding to this warmer world!

This video explores the significance of Greenland's massive inland ice sheet and how it serves as a laboratory for studying the history of our planet. Scientists are studying the ice sheet to understand how quickly it's melting and how...

Scientists found that warm water is eating away the foundations under Antarctica’s so-called “Doomsday Glacier” at an alarm

A ‘massive melting event’ has affected Greenland’s ice sheet during a heat wave that has brought temperatures more than twice as hot as seasonal averages.

Scientists have discovered a massive freshwater aquifer hidden beneath the Atlantic Ocean.

This video discusses the concept of global warming and its impact on the environment. It explains the greenhouse effect, the role of carbon dioxide emissions, and the consequences of rising temperatures and climate change. It also...

The video is a lecture presentation on global warming, its causes, and its potential effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. The speaker discusses the greenhouse effect, greenhouse gases, and their impact on the Earth's temperature. The...

The world's largest iceberg has broken off an ice shelf in Antarctica, according to the European Space Agency.

The Maldives is battling a severe crisis of plastic pollution. Decades of plastic waste, such as plastic bottles, fishing nets, packaging waste, is threatening to turn the paradise into a plastic pit. The island nation is also facing the...

Liverpool, N.S., is trying to ward off flood waters from rising sea levels while the community is also starting to sink.

Since 1992, meltwater from Greenland has raised global sea levels by one centimetre, putting millions of people at risk from flooding

We travel to the island nation of Palau in the western Pacific ocean to explore the impact of rising seas and warming waters due to climate change.

A new study shows that there could be an unexpected side effect of climate change happening right under your feet. Researchers at Northwestern University used temperature sensors underground across Chicago and found that the city's...
