Strange geologic landmarks in the Pacific Northwest are the lingering remains of a mystery that took nearly half a century to solve. These features turned out to be a result one of the most powerful and bizarre episodes in geologic...

Seemingly distant ecosystems, even half a world apart, are connected in surprising ways. In this special limited series, Emily Graslie and Trace Dominguez join me as we explore the universal rules of life that tie together Earth’s living...

Did you know that a massive ancient flood triggered a thousand year ice age? 13,000 years ago, North America seemed to be thawing from a 2.6 million-year ice age. Then, a huge swath of Earth was suddenly plunged back into the cold for...

Brit Garner, host of SciShow Psych, talks about the research she's doing in conservation genetics/genomics, and Jessi from Animal Wonders shows off an African crested porcupine!

Did you know that nature contains clues that can uncover ancient earthquakes that occurred decades, or even centuries ago? Join us for a fascinating look into the world of ancient earthquakes, and see how yesterday's quakes compare to...

Earthquakes have the power to devastate entire communities—a little advanced notice could make a world of difference with an impending earthquake. So why can't they be predicted? Join Rose Bear Don't Walk for a new episode of SciShow,...

If you live in the U.S. you may have heard that the Pacific Northwest is supposedly overdue for an earthquake of colossal, devastating proportions. If that’s true, how can we better understand the threat and be prepared for the day it...

A unique ecosystem of plants, birds and monkeys thrives in the treetops of the rainforest. Nalini Nadkarni explores these canopy worlds -- and shares her findings with the world below, through dance, art and bold partnerships.

When the ocean changes, the planet changes -- and it all starts with microbes, says biological oceanographer Angelicque White. Backed by decades of data, White shares how scientists use these ancient microorganisms as a crucial barometer...

13,000 years ago, North America seemed to be thawing from a 2.6 million-year ice age. Then, a huge swath of Earth was suddenly plunged back into the cold for 1,000 years. To understand why we need to talk about megafloods.

Here on SciShow, we’ve talked quite a bit about how difficult it is to predict earthquakes, and how we prepare for them. So today, let’s take a tour of earthquake science!

Mike Rugnetta continues to teach you about Tricksters in myth, and this time we're headed to the Americas. Coyote and Raven appear in stories from many Native American groups, and more often than not, they're tricky. They're also often...

From the forests of North America to the snowy peaks of the Himalayas, legends of mysterious, ape-like creatures have captured imaginations for centuries. In the U.S., it's Bigfoot. In Asia, it's the Yeti. Are they different names for...

The Big One is coming and it could be far worse than anyone imagined. The Cascadia Subduction Zone, just off the Pacific Northwest coast, is building toward a massive earthquake and tsunami. But new research reveals an even more...

The 1700 Cascadia earthquake and tsunami was a massive natural disaster that reshaped the Pacific Northwest. Through tree rings, soil layers, and international collaboration, scientists have pieced together the exact timing of the event....

The Channeled Scablands of the Pacific Northwest hide an astonishing secret. Evidence of a massive flood that shaped the entire region lies just beneath its landscape. But it can only be seen with cutting edge LIDAR technology. Join Joe...

A massive earthquake is expected to hit the Pacific Northwest at some point, due to the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This 9.2 magnitude quake could trigger a huge tsunami and destroy major cities like Seattle, collapsing buildings, roads,...

Is Bigfoot real, or just a legend? In this video, we explore the mystery of Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch. From sightings in the Pacific Northwest to footprint evidence and personal stories, we look at why so many people believe in...

Dive into the world of sea lions in the Pacific Northwest, where these majestic creatures display playful and dog-like behaviors.

Oregon often feels like a progressive state, but once you get outside of Portland and Eugene, and especially beyond the Cascade Mountains, it gets very conservative. Because of this cultural difference, there's been a concerted effort to...

The Pacific Northwest is a vibrant region of the United States. And British Columbia is an incredible province of Canada. But while both these regions are separated by an international border, at one point, it really wasn't clear whether...

High speed rail makes the most sense, when it's able to connect major population centers in a more convenient way than either personal vehicles or airplanes. With this in mind, the Pacific Northwest makes for almost a perfect scenario...

The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a sleeping monster lurking just off the Northwest coast of the United States. It extends 600 miles between Northern California and Vancouver B.C. and experiences a massive megathrust earthquake every 250...
