There are many great examples for glaciated landscapes in the UK. This medium shows footage from Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District and Snowdonia. The explanations and illustrations of the landforms are rich in detail and make it easy to understand the processes of erosion, deposition and transportation.
The global textile industry has a huge impact on the environment. The medium shows how UK's companies use water recycling plants and also more of their waste streams. In the meantime poor people living in Bangladesh shortly downstream from the textile factories are adversely affected by the pollution.
There are several ways to generate electricity from renewables: This medium explains how solar, tidal, wind, biomass HEP and geothermal power are used and which are the pros and cons of each of these sources. It is shown which framework conditions have to be in place and what kind of oppositions exist.

Bangladesh's mangroves are a home to the endangered tigers and also a fascinating tourist attraction. But the mangrove forests are endangered themselves: The impacts of climate change as well as the ones of shrimp farming reduces them. The government tries to control resource exploitation in the area.
The rainforests of the world which we can't value high enough are in danger: Climate Change, water pollution, deforestation, the commercial palm oil production, cattle ranching and mineral extraction lead to a huge loss of biodiversity. It all has an impact on the indigenous communities who still live here.
If Ecuador wants to develop, it has to exploit the resources of the Amazon. But there are sustainable ways to do so: They include conservation in bio-reserves, sustainable agriculture, community projects and ecotourism and must be supported by governments, businesses, NGOs and indigenous communities.
A megacity like Mumbai creates inequality and challenges, but also opportunities for the people who live here. The development of the nationally and internationally important city is extremely fast like in many LICs/NEEs. This depends partly on rural-urban migration and partly on natural increase.
Mumbai is growing so fast that the urban planners have difficulties to keep up regarding the development of a fitting waste management: It has to meet whole new needs by now. More and more vehicles lead to traffic congestion, and the planners discuss whether a new metro system would solve this problem.
The Sahara is one of the most inhospitable areas of the world: The lack of water, the extreme temperatures and the inaccessibility make it hostile for humans. But there are chances to take. This medium shows different interesting ways the desert can be used if people eventually overcome its challenges.
The global fashion industry comes at much too high of a cost: The footage of this medium is filmed in Bangladesh and shows the working conditions of the people here. It asks about the role of fair trade in times of globalization and shows how important a close meshed quality control in this industry is.
Textiles can undergo treatments that make them usable in fires as well as in sub-zero temperatures. This medium takes a look at the chemical and physical industrial finishes that allow such a development and gives examples for the use of the resistant garments. It also allows an outlook to future finishes.
There are many sources for energy and this medium asks about the role that gas, coal and nuclear power will play in the future global energy mix. Can coal be cleaned up? How big are the environmental risks of fracking like it's done in the US? And does nuclear power still have a future after Fukushima?
Whoever wants to design a product has to choose the material wisely: Should it be sustainable? What is the difference between recycled and renewable materials? What happens to the product when it's not used anymore? The medium contains also footage from the first zero carbon housing project in the US.
The distribution of electricity from power station to consumers is the topic of this medium. It gives a short outline of the entire distribution network and explains the function of step up and step down transformers. Other safety features like insulators, circuit breakers and earth rods are introduced.
Resultant forces, inertia, momentum and energy combined have devastating consequences in a car crash testing: This medium uses extraordinary slow motion HD footage to show how energy is distributed in the blink of an eye. It illustrates the necessity of well-designed air bags, seats and crumple zones.
The understanding of waves helped to develop the plate tectonic theory and made the study of earthquakes easier for seismic survey teams. This medium shows the strong connection between these topics and explains the key terminology of wavelength, amplitude, period and frequency using exciting footage.
Jerzy Grotowski was one of the most famous theatre practitioners of the last century. The medium traces both his life and his enormous influence on contemporary theatre. It shows how Grotowski's visionary ideas have been and can be used to create successful and powerful performances.
Vor zwei Jahrzehnten gab es noch weit mehr Fluginsekten als heute - und das sind nicht die einzigen Arten, bei denen die Zahlen zurückgehen. Das Medium gibt Hinweise, wie auch Einzelpersonen zur Problemlösung beitragen können, und erklärt den Zusammenhang zwischen nachhaltiger Ernährung und Artenschutz.
In the amazon rainforest creatures must compete and adapt to survive. This medium shows the extraordinary biodiversity in this part of the world recorded by a drone that makes its way from the floor up to the forest's canopy. The nutrient and water cycle, the soil profile and climate affect flora and fauna.
Yaem, First und Vanith sind Kinder in Bangkok in Thailand, die unter ganz verschiedenen Umständen auswachsen. Yaem lebt mit ihrer Tante in einem Armenviertel und arbeitet viel, ebenso wie First, die in einem Slum unter dem Highway wohnt. Vanith hingegen besucht eine Privatschule und hat gute Aussichten.
There are many kinds of renewable energy, and quite often conflicts develop around them how this medium shows using examples from Europe, the UK and India. It explains the pros and cons of energy sources like wind, solar, biomass, Tidal, HEP and biogas and points out the importance of decarbonisation.
Uncounted tourists are drawn to the Dorset Coast – the same place where Europe's largest onshore oilfield is located. These two players need to be taken care of in a way that also protects the environment. The medium shows the management strategies used to fulfil the needs of people, work and earth itself.
The history of Iceland shows many volcanic eruptions since people settled down here. Why do they decide to live in regions with such a risk? This film shows the advantages of geothermal power and allows a deep look into tourism and agriculture. The impacts of the most recent eruptions are discussed.
This film takes the audience to Iceland, Haiti, Montserrat and the Alps. It shows the various landscapes and processes that can occur at different plate margins. Plate tectonic theory has changed over time, and specialists explain the latest developments while showing fascinating fitting examples.
The devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010 affected the life of all people on the island for a long time. They had to fight outbreaks of diseases like cholera and to strengthen livelihoods and to improve the housing situation there were several long-lasting projects necessary to return to everyday life.
The Alps offer attractive opportunities for tourism as well as for economics and farming. This film shows the opposing interests of the involved parties and points out how huge the environmental impact is (especially when it comes to the risk of avalanches). Sustainable solutions have to be found.
A river can have different faces - and they are all shown on this medium. It contains concrete examples for meanders and deltas, for waterfalls and rapids, for gorges and flood plains. The huge impact on the river by transportation, deposition, erosion and by rejuvenation are further topics of the film.
Flooding caused by extreme weather happened frequently the last years in the UK. This medium gives a summary of the causes (human and physical) and predicts whether there are more disasters to come. The impacts on those affected by the masses of water are shown as well as the ways to deal with the disasters.
Coasts in their numerous forms are created by erosion, mass movement, transportation and deposition weathering. The film explores the impact of geology and explains the difference between concordant and discordant coastlines. It shows the roles of sediment sources and destructive and constructive waves.
