The Polar Explorer - The film documents the scientific studies and research being done by scientists in the Arctic and the Antarctic in relation to climate change and what their findings mean for the rest of the world. The vital information covered in The Polar Explorer was the reasoning behind its invitation to the Climate Change Conference and why it makes for a startling and intimate look into what is happening to our precious polar regions.

Is the Magnetic Pole About to Flip? - The earth has two North Poles: the geographic and the magnetic. The magnetic pole is the one that attracts the needles of our compasses. It's always moving, but could it be about to flip? What will be the impact? Paleomagnetism has taught us that the magnetic pole flips regularly, going from north to south and vice versa, once every 250,000 years on average. However, the last inversion occurred 780,000 years ago! Are we on the eve of such a major event? [0:52:00]

Collaborative Science - A short film highlighting the collaborative research involved in geologic carbon sequestration technology. [0:10:25]

Quest for Energy - Over one billion people still live without electricity. Off grid Indian villagers have found a way that is sustainable. [0:10:00]
