Summary

Fifty years ago people imagined the Earth as a solid planet, unchanged for millions of years, until plate tectonics showed continents drifting 25cm each year. Mapping continental velocities using the Global Positioning System makes land look more like a glacier than a rigid plate. See how the Earth’s vigorous movements in the mantle that maintain these motions show us 50 years on that the Earth is a fluid, not a solid, sphere. With Professor Dan McKenzie.

    Earth Speaks Up: Mary E. McNerney

    Release Date: 02/19/2020

    Description: Humanity’s understanding of Earth throughout history is filled with a series of awakenings. We once believed the Earth was flat; stationary; and the center of the universe; over time we learned otherwise. Today we hold onto the belief that Earth is merely a compilation of dirt and rock. Our past experience shows us; though; that our perception of Earth needs to be fluid; open to change. Earth Speaks Up brings you to our next new wonderful awakening: knowing Earth as a sentient and communicating being. An Earth who is eager to consciously connect with you and with all of humanity.

    Mathematics for the Fluid Earth

    Release Date: 08/12/2020

    Authors: Cambridge University

    Description: The purpose of this programme is to bring together scientists from very different perspectives in models of the dynamics of the fluid components of the Earth system. This interest may be directly into the modelling, also numerical, or at a more abstract modelling level in terms of understanding the climate system as a complex dynamical system. This programme aims to prove that there is a close connection between “core” questions and problems of pure and applied mathematics and “core” questions of geophysical fluid dynamics relevant for the investigation of the climate system and of its component, and that these are closely linked to defining rigorously what is a good model for a complex system. The aim of the programme is to provide a common ground for fostering mutually stimulating and inspiring exchanges and for creating opportunities for future research.Read more at http://www.newton.ac.uk/programmes/MFE/

    Our Purple Earth

    Release Date: 09/02/2020

    Authors: Wrama Willis

    Description: Storytelling is a powerful way to connect with others, and in the last couple of years I have seen the incredible value in sharing our stories. I’ve learned so much from others through my exchanges, whether it’s through film, television, on stage, or in real life at a grocery store with a random person by chance (that always turns out to be not so random at all, and definitely not just by chance)But I love a good a chat, so not only is this a way to share in great conversations, laugh, learn and hopefully help others tell their stories, but for me, this is an opportunity for me to open up my mind and heart. And hopefully it does the same for you. These are the stories of every day, one of a kind people. But these are all of our stories, and everyone has a story.So I invite you to join in. Whether you listen, laugh and learn or share and shed. This is US. YOU and ME, and everything in between.
