It’s a freezing cold day inside the National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL) in Denver, Colorado. That’s because the NICL is a facility for storing and studying ice cores recovered from the polar regions of the world. And, saws are buzzing, as scientists from all over the U.S. are measuring and cutting pieces of precious Antarctic glacier ice to take back to their labs for research. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
What began as an undersea earthquake in the Indian Ocean ended as the most deadly tsunami in recorded history. Ten years later, scientists have a better understanding of these events, and coastlines are far better prepared for such a catastrophe, thanks in large part to the NOAA Center for Tsunami Research at Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. Part of the "Danger Zone" series.
Get to know some businesses that are giving back in big ways. Learn from socially conscious companies that are doing good for people and the environment, in addition to making a profit. It's the new triple bottom line: People, Planet, Profit!
Mining traditionally has destroyed vegetation and topsoil as it takes minerals from the ground. New techniques and increased environmental awareness has recently led to new land reclamation experiments. Adding earthworms and bacteria to restore the land is one such venture. Highlights bioremediation--using living organisms-- to clean up heavy metals left as mining residue.
Digit’s friend Pearl says her town is in trouble. The water levels in Canalia keep getting lower, but Canalians don’t see the problem. Pearl decides to build a time machine to prove she’s right. She travels with the CyberSquad into the past to measure the water levels, and the kids promise to help convince Canalians to change their water-wasting ways. Part of the "Cyberchase" series.
Synapsids were the world’s first-ever terrestrial megafauna, but the vast majority of these giants were doomed to extinction. However, some lived on, keeping a low profile among the dinosaurs. Part of the “Eons” series.
The Coastal Plains Institute has teamed with governmental agencies, nonprofit organizations, volunteers, and local children to reintroduce the striped newt to the Munson Sandhills region of the Apalachicola National Forest. After an extended drought, striped newts disappeared from the forest. During a recent exploration of the forest, a group of citizen scientists discovered the newts are making a comeback. Part of the "EcoAdventures in North Florida" series.
This episode focuses on the adaptations of arachnids and insects. Spiders inhabit backyards that design and build intricate silk webs. They have also developed numerous adaptations that make them efficient predators. Backyards also have insects living above and below the water's surface. More amazing adaptations are introduced including incomplete metamorphosis, eye development, and remarkable breathing apparatus. Part of the "Backyard Bugs & Other Arthropods" series.
This episode describes the characteristics of five species: the ant lion, the mantis, the walking stick, the Luna moth, and the hickory horned devil (regal moth larva). It highlights insect life processes such as metamorphosis, molting, reproduction, physiology, camouflage, and predator-prey relationships. Part of the "Backyard Bugs & Other Arthropods" series.
This program explores how arthropod biodiversity helps humans. Insects are both producers and decomposers, and these functions are essential to the health of the planet. Part of the "Backyard Bugs & Other Arthropods" series.
Explore the basic elements of pregnancy, labor, and childbirth in four chapters. Observe Deborah's experience from the beginning to the end of the childbirth process. Learn techniques to alleviate the pain of labor. Includes graphic depictions of childbirth.
Curiosity Quest Goes Green host Joel Greene visits the sea turtle hospital in Marathon, Florida to meet the staff who has dedicated their lives to rescuing, rehabbing, and releasing sea turtles back into the wild. Some turtles get hit by boats, some swallow fishing hooks, some have tumors, but all of these amazing creatures can be treated at this hospital. Hopefully they heal quickly and return back to their natural habitat. Part of the Curiosity Quest Series.
Sagittal, or side view of the human brain shows the different lobes of the cerebral cortex. The frontal lobe is at the front center of the brain. The parietal lobe is at the top back part of the brain. The occipital lobe is at the back of the brain, and the temporal lobe is at the bottom center of the brain. The motor cortex is the back of the frontal lobe, and the olfactory bulb is the bottom part. The somatosensory cortex is the front part of the parietal lobe. The brainstem is beneath the temporal lobe, and the cerebellum is beneath the occipital lobe.

Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, the rain has just fallen and the sun is returning. A beautiful rainbow fills the horizon. Moko would like to take a few colors and bring them back to his village to offer them to a friend. He walks toward the rainbow, but the closer he gets, the more the colors disappear. Disappointed, he heads back home... and the rainbow reappears in the distance. He asks the village wise man how he could take a few colors from the rainbow and make a gift of them to a friend. The wise man tells him it would be better to ask his friend to come look at the beauty of the colors with him. After all, Moko tells himself, the rainbow is too big and doesn't want us to take its colors away. It comes to make the sky more beautiful. It just wants to be admired.
In this episode, host Emily Graslie discusses the philosophy and moral implications of de-extinction. Scientists are exploring de-extinction as a possible mass extinction looms, but who decides which species are brought back to life? Part of "The Brain Scoop" series.

Greece's Sporades Islands are home to Mediterranean monk seals, one of the most critically endangered species on Earth. When a pup washes ashore in a storm, a group of dedicated scientists spring into action to nurse the seal back to health. Healthy and strong, the growing seal is released back into the wild with a GIS transmitter to track her adaptation. Segment of video from Wild Chronicles Series.
