This video presents an overview of the impact of human activities such as land use, infrastructure, farming, quarrying, and waste disposal on the environment, particularly on biodiversity. The narrator discusses how the global human...

In this video we explore how destroying forests and peat bogs affects the environment and the consequences it has for biodiversity.

Nearly every aspect of our lives is fundamentally tied to the land on which we live. The homes that shelter us are resting on the land. Cities offer locations that bring people together; farms feed us; forests help to...

Over his decades of farming and ranching, Gabe Brown has noticed a troubling trend: the conventional farming techniques he used were degrading the soil and harming nature. He shares how his family farm turned things around by adopting...

In this science project, you will explore Urban Heat Islands with ArcGIS Online and analyze surface type & air temperature relationships in your city.

Ecologists take a comprehensive look at sagebrush habitat through the eyes of a small, but important, resident



Description: The Lemhi Valley is a high desert sagebrush steppe environment in eastern Idaho, along the...

From treetops to rivers to the bedrock below, there is constant activity going on in what we can think of as the “skin” of our planet. It’s called the critical zone, the active layer of the Earth where life-forms, from microbes to...

As populations have grown, farming practices have become more intensified to maximise crop yields and ensure we can feed the ever growing population. Fertilisers and pesticides are used on crops, and animals may be kept inside in more...

From land to sea to space, scientists are using incredible tools to make new discoveries. These are the ten largest instruments in use around the world.

You can reduce your own contribution to climate change by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide you release into the atmosphere. Your carbon footprint is measured by the amount of extra carbon dioxide your lifestyle adds to the...

Biodiversity is the variety of life. There are thought to be 8.7 million species on planet Earth. And, as we saw in this video, biodiversity is of utmost importance to humans. The loss of one key species can have a detrimental impact on...

At the Plum Island Sound estuary in northeastern Massachusetts, the marsh floods like clockwork. At high tide, you can pass over the mudflats into the grass in a boat. At low tide, the ocean waters recede, leaving behind fresh deposits...

With support from the National Science Foundation, Villanova University marine scientist Nathaniel Weston studies how both land use and climate change can impact habitat in tidal marshes, including how rising sea levels may affect...

The shape of a farm can tell you a surprising amount about the land it's on and the people that use it.

Observing the effects of microbes using satellites can give us all sorts of useful information about life on Earth ... and other planets too.

Nurdles are the tiny, factory-made pellets that form the raw material for every plastic product that we use, from toys to toothbrushes. And while they look pretty harmless on land, they can really wreak havoc on our oceans. Kim Preshoff...

Earth's ocean water is continuous. How can we divide it into sections that are more useful?

We all experience those moments where we can't remember the one piece of information we need. Maybe it's someone's name in a social setting, or an important fact for an exam essay. Whatever it is, you're certainly not alone in sometimes...

"Why Observe?: Tree Height" explores surface height measurement missions and the role that citizen science can play within the scientific community.
