Inside the Race to Save the Doomsday Glacier

Title: Inside the Race to Save the Doomsday Glacier
Runtime: 19:27
Date posted: 4 days ago
Description: In his 30+ years of experience as a science reporter, Miles claims that scientists’ reaction to the “sea curtain solution” to the melting Thwaites (or Doomsday) Glacier is the most vehement he has ever seen. Elise asks why this is the case, and Miles explains how scientists believe that putting effort into the “sea curtain solution” would divert resources away from the work of mitigating climate change. Miles points out that the unfortunate truth is it may be too late for mitigation alone and these grand ideas are worth exploring.

We see a clip from the television show detailing the importance of Thwaites and what its melting would mean to the world: how a 10 foot rise in sea levels would affect our lives.

Miles spent two months on this Antarctic journey in one of the most extreme cases of “remote work” there has ever been. He talks about the resources that made it possible for him to continue reporting for PBS NewsHour from the Southern Ocean.<...

Description: Miles reflects on the once in a lifetime experience of touching a sedated jaguar in Argentina. Her name was Acai, and she was part of Tomkins Conservation’s ongoing efforts to reintroduce jaguars to the Iberá Wetlands, where they are locally extinct. He dives into the rewilding efforts of South Africa, which set the standard for the work that Rewilding Argentina is doing now.

Description: In this episode, we learn that sometimes nature already has the answers. Problem-solvers can also come in the form of furry little construction workers: beavers. Miles talks about the role beavers fill in the American West and what happens when the so-called “beaver haters” eradicate them. We hear a preview discussion of the strain on the Colorado River in regards to beavers fighting drought. We’ll dive even deeper into the topic of the Colorado River later in this series.
Throughout this discussion, Miles tells us even more about the assembly of unique characters in the television episode who are coming up with ways to collaborate with beavers and solve a multitude of problems including wildfires, drought, overgrazing, and the deterioration of vital waterways. The beaver expert Emily Fairfax turned to this field because she was inspired by a PBS Nature program, and that, as Miles says, “is the power of PBS”.

Description: During the late 1700s, the land we now call Arizona was primarily home to diverse and thriving Indigenous nations, including the O’odham, Apache, Hopi, and Navajo peoples. These communities had deep cultural traditions and strong connections to the land.

We spoke with Associate Professor of History at ASU and Yavapai-Apache Nation citizen Dr. Maurice Crandall, who painted us a picture of what "Arizona" looked like during the period of the American Revolution.

Description: Explore two trails where elemental forces are on full display: the lush West Fork of Oak Creek and the rugged Blue Wash Trail. These Arizona hiking trails reveal how the constant interplay between water and rock has carved canyons, sculpted cliffs and shaped ecosystems across Arizona over vast stretches of time. Learn how water availability transforms plant and animal life, creating rich riparian corridors in contrast to the surrounding desert. We also learn how understanding these elemental connections deepens our respect for the land and reminds hikers that every trail is a story written by water and stone working together.
