Regional differences in sea-level rise

Sea level can deviate regionally from the global mean. Wind and currents push the water masses differently against the coasts and influence the level there. In addition, the earth's crust moves. Some coasts rise, others sink. Author: 3sat/nano/mobyDOK/Alexander Lahl/Max Mönch/Jean Schablin/Robert

The “journey to health” is still a long one

People hardly have any access to adequate medical care in the extremely impoverished rural regions of the Indian subcontinent. Merck is helping physicians and pharmacists in India through the Swasthya Yatra initiative, which mainly provides advanced training and medicines. However, this step can onl

Earth's Cryosphere: Antarctica

NASA satellite imagery provides an overview of the cryosphere in the Antarctic. Learn about Antarctic features such as clouds, glaciers, ice streams, ice shelves, and icebergs. In addition, explore how rising temperatures affect the region, for example by increasing the number of meltwater ponds, wh

Earth's Cryosphere: The Arctic

This video segment adapted from NASA uses satellite imagery to provide an overview of the cryosphere in the northern hemisphere, including the Arctic. Investigate the cryosphere's role in North America, the extent of permafrost in the northern hemisphere, and how the polar regions play a role in reg

Changing Views of Pluto | NASA Planetary Sciences

Learn about seasonal changes on Pluto in this video adapted from NASA. Pluto is one of the largest members of the Kuiper belt, a region of small icy bodies in the outer solar system. Pluto is so tiny and distant that even images from the Hubble Space Telescope do not show much detail. Extensive comp

The Arctic Circle

Like a magical border, the Arctic Circle stretches around the world along the 66th parallel, spanning very different countries and regions. The vast region inside the Arctic Circle is also a true treasury of raw materials. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Spiegel TV Media/R.Hillmann/R.Marel/C.Gerisch/A.Kindler/

Earth System: Ice and Global Warming

Scientific evidence strongly suggests that different regions on Earth do not respond equally to increased temperatures. Ice-covered regions appear to be particularly sensitive to even small changes in global temperature. This video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center details how
