The video discusses the history of the Earth's atmosphere and how it has changed over time. It explains the theories and evidence scientists have used to hypothesize these changes, from the early atmosphere being similar to that of Mars...

In episode 15, Charlie chats about insulin signaling, invasive algae and an improvement in the detection of fraudulent art.

Conservationists say about 70 percent of Presena Glacier’s snow is saved over the summer by using protective geotextile sheets.

The Sea of Marmara is blighted by large areas that are covered in a thick, white mucus-like sludge.

Reef algae are much older and more resilient than previously thought, and may well survive longer than expected.

This video discusses the potential water crisis in Singapore due to climate change. It explores the various ways Singapore obtains its water and how climate change can disrupt these sources. The focus is on the impact of plankton blooms...

For Earth Day 2021, we explore the connections of Earth systems and NASA's ability to observe them in a changing world, highlighting the links between dust transport, vegetation, water quality, conservation and human health,...

Botswana government’s reaction to massive die-off disaster was slowed by Coronavirus lockdown rules

Scientists from Australia’s Southern Cross University have come up with a technique called “Coral IVF” to restore coral in damaged parts of the Great Barrier Reef.

From space, satellites such as the NASA and USGS Landsat 8 can help scientists identify where an algal bloom has formed in lakes or rivers. It’s a complicated data analysis process, but one that researchers are...

The phylum gastrotricha (also known as hairybellies) is a group of very small marine creatures that resembles a cross between a flatworm and a rotifer. Let's learn about the anatomy and reproduction of gastrotrichs.

Micro algae is the grime we are used to seeing in fish tanks and other aquatic environments. It could also be an important ingredient in future foods. Learn about the nutrients in micro algae and about it's many food-use...

How was the land for farmers south of the lake? What is good and bad about peat soil? How does other plant life help the everglades?<br/>
The Everglades Ecosystem, Part 3

In episode 51, Charlie and Jordan explore what scientists at Texas A&M Agrilife Research studying a common green microalgae, found in every kind of water except salt water, have discovered. It's an enzyme they may be able to transfer to...

This video is answering the question of what does coral eat.

When we look into the vastness of space, our home planet stands out in many ways. One of the most crucial is the presence of abundant, accessible freshwater -- as a liquid, solid and gas. Water helps make our planet...

Somewhere around 470 million years ago, something happened that shouldn’t have been particularly striking. An algae found its way onto land. This algae turned the lands of this earth green, altered the chemistry of our atmosphere, and...

It’s often said that one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. And surely there is no greater proof of that than the home of our master of microscopes, James. All along the windowsills and bookshelves are jars and tanks full of...

Worms, despite their seemingly simple bodies, are a diverse bunch. Which is why we thought that for today, it might be fun to visit with a less famous worm, and like one of those relatives you don’t know very much about, but every time...

Water Is Thicker When You’re Smaller

These Algae Curl Up Into a Ball When They Get Stressed Out

James, our master of microscopes, recently received a package from a coral farm in Germany. We’ve explored some of the microscopic creatures and bristle worms that were living and thriving in those packages in previous videos. But today...

This is kentrophoros, a ciliate that James—our master of microscopes—had been searching for, receiving samples from all over the world in the hopes of finding it gliding around. When you first look at it, it doesn’t seem particularly...

When you’re in the business of hunting for microbes, sometimes you have to send some weird emails. That’s why James, our master of microscopes, sat down one day to send his own strange request to the people at Coralaxy, a coral farm in...
