In Earth's Epic Comebacks, geologist Iain Stewart explores how Earth's history of disasters has shaped life and sparked evolution. From dinosaurs thriving after a mass extinction to bacteria surviving an ice age, Earth has always found a balance between stability and chaos. Now, humans are changing the climate and marking a new era called the Anthropocene. The question is: can we protect the planet that makes life so incredible? This video is excerpted from BBC’s Earth: The Power of the Planet, a documentary series in which Dr. Iain Stewart discovers how Earth's forces can shape nature, species, and even the climate.
In How Avalanches Happen, narrator Richard Hammond explains how when the power of an avalanche is unleashed, most people never see it coming. As scientists learn more about what happens between individual snowflakes in the snow pack, they can better understand what happens leading up to an avalanche and save lives. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Invisible Worlds, which uncovers the hidden forces and unseen phenomena shaping our world.
In Climate Change and the Impact of Wildfires, learn how climate change has made the possibility of wildfires more likely and more widespread.

This video is excerpted from BBC’s Climate Change — The Facts, a documentary that delves into the science of climate change and its far-reaching consequences.
In The Go Jetters and Mudslide Mayhem, the Go Jetters crew learns about mudslides. Ubercorn shares funky facts about mudslides, the roles of trees in preventing them, and how deforestation can increase the risk of these powerful events. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four international heroes as they travel the globe visiting landmarks and solving environmental problems with Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
