A video entitled "Layers of History" which discusses how Earth's geographic features were formed, with a focus on the study of rock layers through absolute and relative dating.

Earth’s outer shell is made of two materials whose different densities and thicknesses give rise to two distinct “levels” on the planet’s surface.

Cave diver Jill Heinerth explores the hidden underground waterways coursing through our planet. Working with biologists, climatologists and archaeologists, Heinerth unravels the mysteries of the life-forms that inhabit some of the...

In this video Paul Andersen explains in more detail the history of the Earth. He shows how the history of the Earth is written in the rocks that are built up over time. Fossils allow us to compare different rock layers relative to one...

Worms cause major changes to ecosystems, but those changes aren’t always new.ommunication.

Researchers estimate ancient temperatures using data from climate proxy records, i.e., indirect methods to measure temperature through natural archives, such as coral skeletons, tree rings, glacial ice cores, and so on. For example, the...

A video entitled “Relative Age of Fossils” describes the relative age of fossils.

For the last hundred and fifty years or so, geologists have been trying to wrap their heads around the mystery: in some places, the geologic record just seems to jump by over billion years. And last week, a paper was published that may...

While excavating the Hohle Fels cave in southwestern Germany in 2008, scientists discovered a bone flute that turned out to be one of the oldest music instruments in the world. In this episode we take a closer look at the flute itself...

It's Earth Science time!!!! In this field, natural philosophers were asking questions like, what’s up with fossils? Are they the remains of extinct organisms? Or are they so-called “sports of nature”—rocks that just happen to look like...

About 1.8–0.8 billion ago, the Earth went through a period known as the Boring Billion, where not a lot changed in terms of geology, evolution, or even the number of hours in a day. Some scientists call it “the dullest period in Earth’s...

By looking at the layers beneath our feet, geologists have been able to identify and describe crucial episodes in life's history. These key events frame the chapters in the story of life on earth and the system we use to bind all these...

Rocks are more than just rocks, they're the key to Earth's history!

In the 1980s, the world faced a huge problem: there was a rapidly expanding hole in the ozone layer. If it continued to grow, rates of skin cancer could skyrocket, photosynthesis would be impaired, agricultural production would plummet,...

You might have heard that Earth is due for a complete flip of its magnetic field. And while our planet does have a history of this behavior, predictions of when it might happen are too complex to estimate a date for.

In the history of our species, we still don’t know exactly how and when early humans migrated across the world, but some ancient footprints might be helping us figure it out.
