Overview

This series combines aerial cinematography with science storytelling to reveal both the natural phenomena and human forces shaping the planet. Scientists, rangers, farmers, and artists share stories about agriculture, engineering, and the environment.

Bird's eye view of dense forests full of leafy tree canopies that border either side of a paved and curved two-lane road on which one car is traveling.

Black and white frame shows a man wearing personal protective equipment bending over while wielding an axe near a tree in a field as a tall fire burns in the background.

Landscape view of a sand dune dotted with grass and sea oats leading out onto the sandy beach and ocean, along which two people are walking alone.

Rural landscape with a red barn on a hill, in front of a vast forest of trees with bright fall colors, before a sloping mountain background. Scene begins to transition to a small town landscape embedded into an autumnal mountain valley.

Close-up of a section of sandstone rock from the Red River Gorge. The tan-colored rock is built up by thin layers of sediment, creating a rough, striated texture.

Close-up side-angle view of a small three-ring binder full of pages of notes.

Five or six trucks gather around a herd of buffalo in a wide, dry field, appearing to corral the animals near a fence.

Split screen video. On the left, a man stands in a yard with a portable controller, operating a drone. On the right, a blurry view of mountains, pines, and rock captured by drone.

Overhead view of a tall, icy, snow-covered cliff, which a climber is rappelling down with a rope.

Drone-view of a cityscape showing multi-story buildings, high rises, tall trees, and other structures receding into the distance. In the foreground, a green courtyard surrounds a white steepled clocktower that towers over everything.

Wide view of the side of a mountain almost entirely covered with snow with a few rocky areas emerging. Disappearing text reads, "Chapelco Resort, Argentina, 2012."

Blue recycling truck unloads mixed recyclables onto an already massive pile of items inside of a large industrial shelter.

Landscape view of a wind farm on a huge flat field. In the center foreground is a three-pronged wind turbine, while other wind turbines are interspersed behind it.
