The Earth Unlocked(2022–)

Forests

Forests are filled with far more than trees; they are home to mysterious curses, medical cures, and weird and wild animals; they provide the oxygen humans breathe while fighting to survive in a changing climate.

What Lies Beneath

Molten metal, gigantic impacts, and volcanic eruptions; secrets unlocked from deep within the Earth reveal how life is able to exist on its surface.

Lakes

Deadly fog, killer waves and man-eating monsters; unlocking the secrets that lurk in the depths of Earth's mighty lakes and the processes that created them.

Deserts

Some are frozen white tundras, others super heated suntraps that switch from sand to grass; unlocking what makes a desert, what forces create and change them, and what strange creatures call these wastelands home.

Oceans

Mysterious creatures, monster waves, and sunken treasures; exploring the depths and currents of Earth's mighty oceans, unlocking watery secrets that lie beneath the surface.

Dying Places

Towns, cities, and natural habitats are under threat from man and the Earth itself; examining disappearing places that may not be around to be enjoyed by the next generation, and the measures being taken to make sure that doesn't happen.

Deep Freeze

It's a cold world full of frozen mysteries and secrets; unlocking how melting ice could have catastrophic consequences, why millions of tiny creatures thrive on an Alaskan glacier, and how to make an impossible lifesaving rescue.

Space Weather

Extreme weather isn't exclusive to the planet; storms twice the size of Earth, winds faster than the strongest hurricanes, and towering tornadoes thousands of miles high all rage in the distant corners of the universe.

Pressure

Pressure is the invisible force that drives weather; pressing down on Earth, it is the difference between a gentle breeze and a monster storm; learning how and why air can turn deadly.

Canyons

Massive cuts into Earth's landscape create some of the most compelling and majestic formations; exploring how weather and geology combine to form vast canyons, from Arizona's arid Grand Canyon to the ocean's deepest depths.

Beaches

From black sand bays to powdery white waterfronts, what wonders create these diverse landscapes and what dangers lurk, potentially turning these dream locations into seaside nightmares.

Mountains

They are Earth's most visible formations, but secrets lie unseen beneath these massive mountains waiting to be unlocked.

Wetlands

Wetlands serve as a natural protection from storms, fires and floods; these protectors can be deadly.

Water

Our Earth is a water planet. Where water is scarce, drastic measures like cloud seeding and desalination are required. But it can also cause disaster, in the forms of powerful storms and destructive floods.

Giants

They are the largest things on Earth; the blue whale, elephants and prehistoric titanosaurs remind humans of how small they really are; they may appear to be too big to fail, but weather and climate can affect even these giants.

Predators

Throughout time, the drive to survive on planet Earth has created hunters; predators have lived and adapted to become nature's ultimate killing machines, with weather playing a role in their rise to the top.

Terra Firma

Nothing's more reassuring than the feel of solid ground beneath our feet. But is that solid ground as solid as it seems? The crust of the Earth is constantly moving, from shifting tectonic plates to the instability of the soil…the result? Catastrophic earthquakes, devastating dust bowls and weather induced landslides.

Islands

Islands are water-bound treasures of the planet; some are born from violent volcanic eruptions, while others give birth to scientific discovery; in a time of climate change, many islands face an uncertain future.
