- Did you know that a seafaring American tribe explored the shores of North America 7000 years ago? Or that these ancient Americans rivaled their European counterparts in navigational skills several millennia before the Vikings? The Mystery of the Lost Red Paint People follows U.S., Canadian, and European scientists from the barrens of Labrador - where archaeologists uncover an ancient stone burial mound - to sites in the U.S., France, England, and Denmark, and to the vast fjords of northernmost Norway where monumental standing stones testify to links among seafaring cultures across immense distances. This film represents the first publication in any medium that has synthesized these new discoveries and attempted to draw a picture of the northeastern sea peoples, whom scientists refer to as the Maritime Archaic.
- The 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic...a new look in 3-D.
- A look at the powers that nature holds over planet Earth.
- Documentary about the sinking of Nazi Battleship Bismarck. Contains video material from the wreckage, computer animations and old looking video material.
- A unique journey around the weird and wonderful planet that we call home. When Yuri Gagarin was blasted into space he became the first human to get a proper look at where we live. 'The Earth is blue,' he exclaimed, 'how amazing!'. Suddenly our perspective on the world had changed forever. We thought we were going to explore the universe, yet the most extraordinary thing we discovered was our own home planet, the Earth. So what would you see during just one orbit of the Earth? Starting 200 miles above the planet, this film whisks you around the planet to show what changes in the time it takes to circumnavigate the Earth just once. We hear from British-born astronaut Piers Sellers on what it's like to live and work in space, and also to gaze down and see how we are altering and reshaping our world. We marvel at the incredible forces of nature that brings hundred-mile wide storms and reshapes continents, and also discover how we humans are draining seas and building cities in the middle of the desert. We also visit the wettest place on Earth, as well as the most volcanic.
- Near a small lake in West Africa, hundreds of people and animals are found dead from asphyxiation. Scientists must find out what happened in order to prevent it happening again.
- The deep sea, which gets darker with increasing depth until no more sunlight penetrates at about a kilometer depth, and ever colder closer to the bottom of the ocean, covers most of the planet and is thus by far the largest habitat on earth, yet has been explored less than space, so most scientific expeditions, at depths requiring modern submarine technology, discover at least one new species, or even whole new branches of submarine life. Like everywhere else, evolution has over millions of years produced several amazing adaptations to even the most extreme conditions, here especially to the lack of sunlight, with its problems for procreation, searching food and fleeing hunters, such as photophore cells which produce specific light types, mimic rare light penetrating from above, etcetera.
- The ocean's influence dominates the world's weather systems and supports an enormous range of life. This first episode demonstrates the sheer scale, power and complexity of the "Blue Planet".
- When the world's two greatest superpowers vie for supremacy, they spur extraordinary advances in military technology. For nearly 50 years the United States and the Soviet Union engage in a monumental arms race known as the Cold War. Groundbreaking CGI allows us to Drain the ocean to reveal shocking evidence of secret nuclear confrontation.
- Over the past century, a new breed of ocean giant has emerged. Maritime archaeologists and historians go in search of the biggest wrecks ever sunk beneath the seas. New scientific data combines with cutting-edge computer graphics to drain the oceans to investigate the world's most awe-inspiring wrecks.
- Scientists speculate on how life originated on earth based on the range of conditions where life survives today and the conditions that existed on the early earth. They then look for those conditions, past or present, that may exist on other planets or moons.
- Exploring Hawaii, a tropical sanctuary for any wildlife that can reach its remote shores.
- The oceans cover 3/4 of earth's surface and make it viable. Their brute, eroding, tidal (lunar/solar gravity-powered) surf-force helps physically shape the planet, especially the coast, and powers currents, which are vital for climate in interaction with winds. The oceans' own shape is determined by the tectonic drift of the continents. Their micro-organisms, phytoplankton, are crucial in starting the food-cycle of life trough photo-synthesis and generation of oxygen. Archeological evidence shows how terrible the consequence of major oceanic disturbances can be, which bodes badly for our future given the greenhouse effect.
- After personally investing in a treasure hunt off the coast of Florida, Marty Lagina and Craig Tester are thrilled when their search uncovers rare and historical artifacts. But the duo must quickly come to terms with the complicated world of treasure ownership.
- 202159m8.1 (33)TV EpisodeIn this edition, Brian uses memorable moments from past programmes to examine one of the most profound questions humanity has ever asked - Are we alone in the universe? He explains why the search for alien life should be taken seriously.
- In this final episode we explore a completely new force; humans. It's easy to think of our impact on the planet as a negative one, but as we discover, this isn't always the case. But it is clear that today we have unprecedented control over many of the planet's geological cycles. The question is how will we use this power?
- All life on Earth needs water so the search for aliens in the solar system has followed the search for water. We examine the patterns in the ice on Jupiter's moon Europa, which reveal an ocean far below with more potentially life-giving water than all the oceans on Earth. But of all the wonders of the solar system forged by the laws of nature, Brian reveals the greatest wonder of them all.
- The Hawaiian Islands are a study in contradictions. The fastest growing islands on earth are also the fastest disappearing. Made of one of the hardest minerals, it crumbles at a touch. The world's most active volcano is nowhere near the typical volcanic regions. Geologists strive to understand these mysteries.
- The confluence of two geological forces created and continues to build the island of Iceland. They also keep the geology active with global implications. For now the massive, but retreating, glaciers are keeping the glaciers in check.
- The discovery of the Marianas trench was one of the first puzzle pieces that lead to the understanding of the most massive process that shapes the geology of the Earth; plate tectonics and the creation of new crust in the mid-ocean ridges and its subduction under the continents.
- The geological mechanism that causes the ring of volcanoes around the pacific ocean is studied and explained.
- Sir David Attenborough reveals the findings of an investigation into what is happening to our oceans, and looks at whether it is it too late to save their remarkable biodiversity.
- Scientists are on the verge of answering one of the greatest questions in history: Are we alone? Finding Life Beyond Earth immerses audiences in the sights and sounds of alien worlds, while top astrobiologists explain how these places are changing how we think about the potential for life in our solar system.
- Monterey Bay, off the south Californoan coast, has a complex ecosystem. Its waters support an exceptionally rich kelp forest, which feeds and houses many fish etcetera and gets extra nutrients because land winds causes rich sediment from the deep ocean channel to be lifted by currents. Sea urchins are the only species voracious enough, eating stems too, to destroy kelp long-term. Sea otters control urchins, except when human hunting eliminated them and thus the whole ecosystem, which returned when they did.
- Bob Ballard discusses the formation of the island of Hawaii in preparation for the episode's climax, a dive on Hawaii's next island, the lo'ihi-seamount.
- Challenging traditional wisdom Bob Ballard explores the deep Mediterranean for ancient shipwrecks believing earlier mariners were much bolder than they are given credit for.
- Bob Ballard explores hydrothermal vents trying to test the theories that life emerged and is now maintained by these volcanic regions.
- A politicized comparison of the potential benefits of space exploration versus ocean exploration.
- The bill fish are the biggest, fastest, and most dangerous game fish in the sea. All have captured man's imagination like few other creatures, whether it's the graceful sailfish, the menacing swordfish or queen of them all, the marlin, immortalized by Hemingway in 'The Old Man and the Sea'. Marine biologist and film-maker Rick Rosenthal has traveled three oceans in his attempt to capture them all on film, and in doing so has become a passionate champion for these endangered yet little-known ocean giants.
- From the bedrock the Empire State Building is built on, to the Spanish empires in South America, the two land masses of North and South America are linked by geology and history. Today North and South America has some of the most spectacular landscapes on earth. They're the product of a violent geological past that shaped an equally turbulent human history.
- 2013–2021TV Episode
- Are the wealthy just born in the right place at the right time? Are the poor victims of a system designed to keep them down? Or do physics and biology determine who is rich and who is poor? Scientists have found that throughout history, the distribution of wealth is governed by hidden forces: DNA, environmental stress, patterns of human migration and even the laws of thermodynamics! Nature seems to demand winners and losers in life. But does this mean greed is king, and the rich can take what they want? Or does the cooperation among even the smallest microorganisms prove selfishness is not essential for survival?
- We're on the verge of unconvering the how life on Earth came to be. Our origin is a hotly contested scientific debate. Did we come from strange volcanic hatcheries deep under the sea? Or did life on Earth come from another planet?
- We live in a world ablaze with colour. Rainbows and rainforests, oceans and humanity, earth is the most colourful place we know of. But the colours we see are far more complex and fascinating than they appear. In this series, Dr Helen Czerski uncovers what colour is, how it works, and how it has written the story of our planet - from the colours that transformed a dull ball of rock into a vivid jewel to the colours that life has used to survive and thrive.
- Fascinating parallels between the volcanoes on Earth and those elsewhere in the solar system are drawn by an international team of volcanologists in Iceland.
