Piping plover nests are simple depressions in the sand. The Atlantic Coast population of the piping plover breeds along sandy beaches from Newfoundland to North Carolina, and conservationists are working to protect all essential habitats along their flight path, including its resting place in North Carolina.
Learn about powerful cyclones happening on Saturn. From a distance, Saturn appears to be serene; however, the Cassini spacecraft has provided detailed views that show the planet's active atmosphere.
Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to produce needed energy from nutrients. These processes help keep the Earth in balance by breaking down the food that photosynthesis produces.
Longitudinal waves carry energy through air, water, and solids. They compress and expand the medium in the same direction as the energy is transferred.
When an earthquake hits, it sends seismic waves through the ground. Find out about seismic waves in this animation.
George Vanderbilt pushed the technology envelope when building Biltmore Estate, and his descendants continue to promote technological advancements. Today, the estate undertakes opportunities to help the environment by running a solar farm and biodiesel operation.
All living organisms on Earth contain cells which are the basic structural unit for all organisms. Cells are small compartments that hold the biological equipment necessary to keep an organism alive. They also have specific parts to make the cell work.
The unique hard bottom reefs off the coast of the Carolinas are home to a dynamic and delicately balanced ecosystem. A population of invasive lionfish has moved into the area. Their presence is disrupting this ecosystem and threatening the commercial fish industry.
Oyster reefs protect shorelines from erosion, create fish habitats, and clean the water. Scientists in North Carolina are working to restore the oyster reefs along the coast.
Agricultural engineers explain their work and how they use biology and engineering to make farms energy efficient and the food supply safe and plentiful. They describe what drew them to this profession and also discuss their education and career paths.
Why do sports fans feel so emotionally invested in the game, reacting almost as if they were part of the game? According to new research, people constantly imitate whatever they are observing. This video segment, adapted from "NOVA ScienceNow," discusses the latest research on a system of neurons that plays a part in how people relate to each other. These neurons, known as mirror neurons, prime individuals to imitate what they see.
Forensic osteological research facilities are outdoor compounds where donated human bodies are studied during decomposition. Using archeological field techniques, researchers discover what happens to human remains when exposed to a number of different environmental conditions. Studying these skeletal remains in different contexts proves extremely beneficial in solving real-life humanitarian and criminal cases. Please note: Preview of this title is highly encourage due the sensitive material covered.
Forensic anthropologists analyze human remains. Their findings aid in the detection of crime by working to assess the age, sex, stature, ancestry and unique features of a skeleton, which may include documenting trauma to the skeleton and its postmortem interval. Please note: Preview of this title is highly encouraged due to the sensitive material that is covered.
Tour three Martian landscapes and find out how erosion and water has affected the surface of Mars. Flyover images show the structure and composition of the landscape of Mars and focus on Candor Chasma, part of a canyon system of Mars.
Learn about the discovery Saturn's largest ring. In 2009, astronomers announced the discovery of an enormous, diffuse ring that starts about 6 million kilometers away from Saturn and extends another 12 million kilometers. The ring is so dark that it had escaped observation until the Spitzer Space Telescope detected its infrared radiation.
Waves are all around. They are a disturbance that travels through space and matter transferring energy from one place to another. Find out about the nature, shapes, and impacts of waves in this animation.
This animation explains what happens during a solar eclipse. It discusses the five phases of all eclipses and discusses the difference between the umbra and the penumbra.
This UNC TV segment explores the intricate interactions between organisms which are the building blocks of the freshwater ecosystem. These include the relationships between insects and the environment, predator and prey, water and organic waste, and nutrients and underground channels.
Plants have the ability to adapt to environmental conditions through tropism and dormancy. Dormancy happens when a plant stops growing and reserves its energy during harsh conditions. Plants also have the ability to move toward or away from a stimulus which is known as tropism.
