Researchers from NOAA's National Marine Mammal Lab track the migrating fur seals to understand where they feed in winter months and what marine resources they depend on for survival. It's early November and the team affixes a satellite transmitter to an adult female. They won't see her back on the Pribilof Islands until next July, and they hope the tag will stay on throughout winter and spring. Back at their offices in Seattle, the researchers begin tracking tagged animals via satellites.
Geese flying south is a sign that winter is arriving. Through numerous examples, this program illustrates the migration of animals. Also explored is the amazing process of hibernation.
The bugs have their own language, and they use it to describe the new plant they have found. They watch the plant grow and change through the seasons. They celebrate as it blooms in the spring, and everyone leaves when winter arrives and the plant dies. Based on the book by Carson Ellis.

What happened in the atmosphere that caused this monstrous storm to form? Summer and winter weather conditions collided with extreme forces to form a super storm. Part of the "Danger Zone" series.
A new transmitter helps protect wireless data from hackers. Other features in this episode include bacteria using DNA to speed their evolution and a new next-generation water harvester that delivers fresh water from air. Part of the "4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn't Hear About This Week" series.
Dr. Randall Hughes is conducting an experiment into how well black mangrove propagules from both local and south Florida trees grow in Saint Joseph Bay. Following a harsh winter, she is able to more thoroughly test the survivorship of black mangroves in northern Gulf marshes. Part of the series In "The Grass, On The Reef."
What is a thundersnow storm? Most snow storms form when warm air moves into an area in the winter and rising warm air condenses to form snow. If the warm air rises very quickly, the condensing moisture collides with existing particles in the cloud causing electrically charged areas. When a cloud has charged areas, lightning can result. The accompanying sound is why scientists call these thundersnow storms.
Host Peter Tonge visits with Robert Almquist of Almquist Flowerland who offers tips on raising and caring for houseplants. Covers the following topics: watering during winter months; combating pests; buying houseplants; repotting and pruning; determining types of soil; and using a granular soil additive to help the soil retain moisture.
