Life on the ground following natural disasters is often chaotic and scary. And with global warming gradually adding energy to our atmosphere, driving more extreme weather and worse disasters, it’s logical that people would be concerned. We’ve all seen the images of chaos and heard the reports of looting and violence in the aftermath of major disasters like hurricanes like Katrina and Maria. And a common way that people address their fear is by owning or buying guns. In the United States, self-defense is actually the most common reason people buy guns. And a lot of conversations in the prepper community are about what guns are best to have for personal protection in case things fall apar...

What does the future of aging and longevity hold? Can science hack the human lifespan? Even if we can, SHOULD we...?

People aren’t dying as early or as easily as they used to. Innovations in modern medicine, health, and hygiene helped us extend our lives by decades, but what comes next? Would you rather live to be a healthy and hearty 90 or live to be 150 but wither away for the last 60 years? We’ll talk about it in this episode of Far Out.

Far Out explores the future of science, technology, and culture and how these changes may affect humanity and life on Earth. The series is hosted by Swapna Krishna, a science journalist, podcaster, and sci-fi writer covering everything from NASA to Marvel, and produced for PBS by PBS North Carolina, the team behind the award-winning PBS series Overview.

Sea level rise is a problem that is garnishing increasing attention among both scientists and the media. And as climate change continues to warm the earth, the current rate of 1.4 inches per decade is projected to increase, with NOAA predicting another foot of sea-level rise along US coastlines by 2050.

The most consequential tipping point, when it comes to sea-level rise, is Thwaites Glacier, also known as the Doomsday glacier, located in West Antarctica. When this massive ice sheet melts, the earth’s seas are predicted to rise by at least two feet. But perhaps the greater concern is what will h...

We asked six experts where the safest, or least risky, places will be to live in the United States as the climate changes and weather becomes more extreme. And the answer is pretty surprising. In this episode, we look at many hazards from temperature, storms, drought, farming, wildfire, polar vortex, hurricanes, sea-level rise, crop failure, extreme heat, and even economics. We look at the effect of climate on future migration patterns in the US and talk to someone who left New York City after Hurricane Sandy and identifies as a climate migrant. She ended up moving to the safest county in the United States from a weather and climate perspective. We’ll reveal ...

Space weather is what causes beautiful Northern Lights, or aurora. But it also can have a major effect on the technology we rely on. In fact, it was space weather that brought down 40 SpaceX satellites during the production of this episode. And a large solar flare could cause the most significant weather threat human civilization has ever experienced. That’s because so much of essential services are powered by a functioning electrical grid and a geomagnetic storm could create grid down scenario.

If you feel like the weather has been getting a lot weirder and wilder lately, you’re not alone. While it’s easy to blame climate change, we need to dive deeper. There has been a recent increase in polar vortex events bringing arctic air far enough south to cause snow in places like Texas, extreme heat waves like in the Pacific Northwest, and extreme rain like we saw after Hurricane Ida. Even fires in Siberia and drought hint at a new dust bowl. NOAA’s 2020 Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disaster report showed a notable uptick in extremes. And 2021 was no exception, with 10.6% of all weather stations reporting record temperatures. And with the continu...

The Everglades is a water world — It’s the widest and slowest river in the United States. But in the heart of this great water body exist secret islands that have outsize importance for the cultural heritage of a people and for the biodiversity of this important wetland. Thousands of these tree islands dot the Everglades. For generations, the Miccosukee people have called these islands home. And they’ve long understood that the islands are a giver of life in this unforgiving environment. The islands are some of the only dry land around and harbor a surprising diversity of plant and animal life, including: coyotes, bobcat, bear, and even the Florida panther. But among the scientific establishment, the islands are little understood. Researchers from the Miccosukee tribe are working to understand how animals use the islands and what role they play in the larger Everglades ecosystem. With the islands under threat from outs...

With climate change making temperatures more extreme each year, like we recently saw in the great Texas freeze and the Northwest heatwave, large-scale power outages become a matter of life and death. In 2003, a few transmission lines went down in Ohio leading to cascading failures across the Northeast and over 50 million people losing power. This event points toward critical vulnerabilities in our aging power grid.

Out of the 1,500 or so active volcanoes around the world, one erupts every week on average. The largest active volcano is Muana Loa in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and it just erupted for the first time in nearly 40 years. Many are remote and not as closely observed as the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai volcano in Tonga that erupted in January 2022. The hot plumes of ash they spew into the atmosphere are the most dangerous part of these eruptions, threatening downwind communities and even planes.

There’s a secret subculture here that’s growing larger by the year but lurks out of sight in shadow — coyotes! More than 4,000 of these canines prowl the streets of Chicago; you’ll even find them stalking amongst the skyscrapers of Michigan Avenue and busy Lake Shore Drive.

What are they doing in downtown Chicago? And how are they transforming our thinking about cities and their relationship with the natural world?

Researchers with the Chicago Urban Coyote Research Project are tracking these resourceful predators to learn their secrets. In two decades of work, they’ve collared more than 600 animals. What they’re finding is upending decades of ecological thinking.

On the morning of May 18, 1980, Mt. St. Helens volcano exploded with 500 times the force of the Hiroshima bomb. It was the most destructive eruption in U.S. history. The cataclysmic chain of events killed 57 people and thousands of animals, took out 250 homes, 47 bridges, and 185 miles of highway, and flooded valleys. The mountain’s north side collapsed leaving a yawning crater the size of downtown Seattle. To this day, the crater of Mt. St. Helens volcano remains a place of immense danger and strictly off-limits to the public — avalanches, crevasses, poison gas, and boulders tumbling down the near-vertical slopes are just a few of the threats. But in recent years, the crater has become a place of great scientific interest. Few people realize that the hollowed-out crater now holds the world’s youngest glacier. And it cont...

Does fire affect climate change? What about extreme wildfire behavior?

A fire tornado, or “firenado,” is exactly what it sounds like: a tornado made out of fire… and it is truly the stuff of nightmares. The most famous example occurred when the 2018 Carr Fire spawned an EF3 fire tornado with estimated wind speeds of 143 mph! And as climate change drives increasing wildfires around the planet, it only makes sense that we see more fire tornadoes as well. But, watch to the end of this episode because even though fires are burning more acres each year we have some very good news about climate change and carbon storage of burned forests.

They visit the Diablo Glass School to discover how chemistry plays an important role in the material’s versatility, and experiment with manipulating glass to change its color, and make it so durable that even hammering won’t break it.

But how does this lead to the internet? To find out, they meet with the Exploratorium’s Desiré Whitmore -- also known as “LaserChick” -- who uses lasers to demonstrate how information can be transmitted through glass, and explains how that forms the basis of an ever-growing global fiber optic network than enables high speed internet communication.

Dolphins are playful and intelligent sea creatures. Humans are enamored with their smarts. We all know they can jump through hoops, but just how much brain power do dolphins have? Can they recognize friends from strangers? Comprehend basic mathematics? Surely they can’t use a giant underwater touchscreen… can they? (They can!) What can’t dolphins do? You’ll have to tune in to Animal IQ to find out! This week Natalia called Dr Diana Riess a dolphin intelligence expert from Hunter College and Trace called Ph.D student Diana Rocha of the World Cetacean Alliance and Dolphin Encountours to learn more about these precocious porpoises.

This Explosive Gas Is Heating Our Planet. Can We Capture It? | Out of Our Elements

Title: This Explosive Gas Is Heating Our Planet. Can We Capture It? | Out of Our Elements
Runtime: 13:37
Date posted: 5 years ago
Description: Methane. What does it have to do with climate change, and how can we capture it?

Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/c/pbsterra?sub...

Methane is a molecule that causes a bit of a conundrum: On the one hand, it’s a fuel that burns cleaner than coal or oil (it could be a bridge fuel to reach a renewable energy future, some believe). On the other hand, it’s a greenhouse gas that’s 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Controlling methane leaks and emissions, both climate scientists and activists say, is crucial for controlling global climate change.

Hosts Caitlin Saks and Arlo Perez Esquivel investigate this tricky molecule -- and its dancing abilities -- by tracing it to its source, both in nature and in the city. And they meet with Boston University’s Nathan Phillips and MIT’s Desiree Plata to figure out exactly why this molecule is so efficient at heating both our homes and...

Cars dominate US city streets, and there’s no better example than Atlanta, GA. Streets in Atlanta are designed for getting cars around as fast as possible. The result? Pedestrian deaths in ATL are twice the national average. But the city is trying to change that, starting with Peachtree Street.

Why is water so crucial to us—and to all life on Earth? To find the answer, Out of our Elements hosts Caitlin Saks and Arlo Perez Esquivel meet with Gatorade Sports Science Institute sweat scientist Shy Brown. They examine their sweat to gain an understanding of how the molecular structure of water makes it crucial for life as we know it. Caitlin and Arlo also chat with water advocate Susana De Anda to explore how the same molecular properties that make water essential for life come with a downside, helping to explain why humanity is facing a global water crisis.

Some might think of the lion as all brawn and no brains, but they’re so much more. Dr. Natalia Borrego studies lions in her professional life, designing experiments to test their intelligence and better understand their skills. Lions are social animals living in small pride groups containing both males and females (a rarity in the animal kingdom). They understand problem-solving, can cooperate with each other and have no permanent dominance hierarchy. You know what they say, an egalitarian pride is a happy pride! The question is, are lions more like chill hippies or relaxed puzzle masters? Natalia called Brian Dowling from Lion Country Safari to talk about ever...

Each year, flooding kills around 100 Americans and displaces some 75,000 from their homes. And as sea levels rise, storms dump more and more rain, and dams and levees continue aging and increasingly failing, the cost of flooding is increasing in communities all across the country. A recent study shows that, between 1988 and 2017, the average annual cost of flooding in the United States rose by $2.5 billion due to the intensification of precipitation alone. So what do we do?

Well, it’s not an easy question to answer. But there are many innovative solutions that communities are...

Most of the 600 billion pounds of waste that Americans produce every year ends up in landfills. All that trash can have huge impacts on the environment. But modern landfills have found a new use for all that trash — they’re turning it into energy. In spite of their reputation as “dumps,” these landfills are feats of engineering, more akin to construction sites.

One of North America’s biggest landfills lies on the outskirts of Las Vegas. The Apex Landfill is not only one of the country’s largest, it’s also one of the busiest. Because it serves a non-stop city, the landfill must operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a wee...

The mantra, “Elephants never forget,” is so ingrained in popular culture that most people accept it as fact, but memory is just one facet of intelligence. African elephants are known to recognize groups of humans, to test electric fences with their tusks to avoid injury, and (of course) can remember paths to resources passed down to them decades earlier. But, can elephants cooperate to solve a puzzle? How good are they at understanding themselves and their place in the savannah? What does an elephant really know?

Penguins are fascinating creatures, not just because of their physical characteristics. They’re amazing at creating mental maps, can recognize each other’s calls, and hunt in a coordinated way.

Avalanches are mysterious and complex and the science of these natural phenomena is incomplete. One thing that is known is how to prevent them. To do that, you have to do something counterintuitive — you have to start them.

In the coming years, new technologies could transform our understanding of these deadly events. Scientists may be able to more efficiently and effectively identify the danger zones. And that could help save lives.
