There are a lot of great debates in science, and a major one is when exactly humans reached the Americas. There's contentious footprints and wishy-washy stone tools, all of which has spurred some heated academic arguments. But the most...

Mister Brown is moving away to Wisconsin, so Jessi, Squeaks and all of his Fort friends are here to say goodbye. But before he goes, Mister Brown want to teach everyone about the place he's moving to and all the amazing glacial lakes...

Over 600 million years ago, sheets of ice coated our planet on both land and sea. How did this happen? And most importantly for us, why did the planet eventually thaw again? The evidence for Snowball Earth is written on every continent...

Foraminifera - tiny, single-celled marine life forms - build gorgeous houses that record how much ice there is on the planet.



FYI: We try to leave jargon out of our videos, but if you want to learn more about this...

Photographer James Balog shares new image sequences from the Extreme Ice Survey, a network of time-lapse cameras recording glaciers receding at an alarming rate, some of the most vivid evidence yet of climate change.

Today we’re going to talk about climate change which is when there is a change in the average weather patterns in a region over a long period of time - these changes can be natural or human-caused. We’ll discuss the main driving forces...

Top climate scientist James Hansen tells the story of his involvement in the science of and debate over global climate change. In doing so he outlines the overwhelming evidence that change is happening and why that makes him deeply...

Hank talks about a few - maybe crazy, maybe reasonable - geoengineering schemes that some scientists have come up with in order to "fix" climate change, including designer clouds, ocean fertilization, and stratospheric shading with...

Antarctica wasn't always covered in kilometer thick ice sheets, in fact, scientists have spent years figuring out what turned this once lush continent into its current icy state.

This video explores the mysterious mass extinction event that occurred 450 million years ago, potentially triggered by an Ice Age. It delves into the impact on marine life, with clues found in ancient rock formations in northern Africa.

Hurricane Helene and Milton are painful reminders that our oceans are changing. Warmer ocean waters are acting on higher sea levels, causing catastrophic damage to our coastal communities. And what’s scarier is that the sea level rise...

Science Kids Antarctica and the Melting Ice Shelf V1-0004

I will take personal steps to reduce my carbon footprint by cutting down on flights, using public transportation or biking more often, and consuming products more mindfully,...

Pupil outcome: I can understand the risks from coastal flooding. Key learning points: - There are several causes of coastal flooding. - The risks from coastal flooding are increasing due to climate change. - Coastal flooding brings...

Discover Earth's five oceans – from the vast Pacific to the icy Southern Ocean – uncovering unique features, marine life, and geographic features like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

In this video, the teacher discusses the concept of ice ages and explains that there have been five major ice ages in Earth's history. The current period is an interglacial period within the Quaternary Ice Age, which started 2.6 million...

In 2005, the European Space Agency achieved significant milestones in space exploration and technology. From landing on Titan and sampling its atmosphere to launching the heaviest commercial launcher, the Arian 510 ton, Europe made great...

Sea level rise is a problem that is garnishing increasing attention among both scientists and the media. And as climate change continues to warm the earth, the current rate of 1.4 inches per decade is projected to increase, with NOAA...

For decades, Antarctic sea ice trends seemed to defy climate change, until…they didn’t. In just two years, Antarctica lost as much sea ice as the Arctic lost in three decades. Statistics say that the record low sea ice in 2023 was a 1 in...

A period during a longer ice age when temperatures are particularly cold, and glaciers and ice sheets extend over a larger part of the planet.

It may be dry and sandy now, but the Sahara desert used to look very different. Evidence buried deep beneath the dunes reveals that the landscape has been changing naturally over thousands of years. Earth Science - Weather - Learning...

Ice cores taken from deep within the Earth's polar regions hold a hidden secret: the historical record of the Earth's climate. Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. Evidence of natural climate changes can be found in...

In 1998 an open scientific competition led to the development of Cryosat, a satellite designed to provide accurate information about the Earth s changing polar ice sheets and sea ice.

The video transcript highlights the European Space Agency's ambitious and successful missions in 2005, including the first direct sampling of Titan's atmosphere, advancements in launcher technology, astronaut missions to the...

The video highlights the importance of monitoring polar ice cover using satellites like Cryosat to understand the impact of climate change on our planet. Unfortunately, Cryosat faced a setback when it failed to achieve orbit due to a...
