After Life: The Strange Cycle of Decay
This video explains decomposition, one of nature's most important processes. For two months in the summer of 2011, a glass box containing food laid out from a typical kitchen and garden for a family of four was left to rot in full public view within Edinburgh Zoo. In this resulting documentary, presenter Dr. George McGavin and his team use time-lapse cameras and 3-D photography to capture the way in which moulds, microbes and insects are able to break down our everyday things and allow new life to emerge from old. The film reveals the incredible science of taphonomy, discovering what happens to organic matter as it starts to decompose. Whole new ecosystems of life invade, each more complex than you would ever expect. The micro-organisms involved in turning milk sour, lactobacillus, are highlighted; in addition to pseudomonas, micro-organisms that make meat smell; and botrytis cinerea, those that make fruit and vegetables go velvety grey.
Microbiology gives us insight into the part played by bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Biochemistry reveals how the chemical processes in living organisms cause change. Entymology reveals the vital role of insects in the great cycle of decay. The video also explores the incredible science behind preservation, from new food packaging and chemical additives to UV radiation and osmotic pressures.

Gulf Stream and the Next Ice Age
Could Dublin's climate ever resemble that of Spitzberg in the Arctic Ocean or could London one day be as cold as Siberia? Is there an "Achilles' Heel" in Europe's climate? Would we face a catastrophe if the warm, strong currents of the Gulf Stream stopped flowing? Gulf Stream and the Next Ice Age is an odyssey that takes us from Europe to America in search of an answer to these questions. In France, Scotland and Norway, we take a look at how Europe's coastal population depends on the Gulf Stream. Through the use of computerized animation and explanations from specialists from Columbia University's French Polar Research Centre in the Greenland Sea, we get a clear understanding of what would happen if the Gulf Stream ceased to influence the climate in Northern Europe.

Mapping Change
This documentary is about Dr. Steven Franklin's study of grizzly bear populations in Alberta using remote sensing. The video explains how remote sensing is used to study the effect of urbanization and development on grizzly bear habitats. This project involves a trans-disciplinary team, which includes researchers from the fields of genetics, statistics, remote sensing, biology, geology and veterinary medicine. Their goal is to collect data which will influence decisions related to land management. Although the project is specific to grizzly bears, Franklin's team believes that their work will positively impact other species.
The video links science with creativity and the arts. It demonstrates that with creative problem-solving, we can use science to have a positive impact on our world. It also stresses that people with different skills and knowledge need to work together in order to be successful. The video does not suggest that we stop urbanization, but that we look for ways to have the least negative impact on habitat.

The Seeds of a Controversy
In spite of the scientific evidence in its favor and over a decade of uneventful experience in N. America, GM crops and foods continue to engender fear, particularly in Europe. This companion piece to The Seeds of a New Era provides a thorough discussion of the non-scientific factors behind these fears. These include political and economic concerns about a loss of competition and choice, the psychology of risk perception and philosophical ideas about 'natural' vs. 'unnatural'. This episode also looks at future uses of GM crop technology, such as molecular farming for drugs and other valuable proteins.

The Seeds of a New Era
This episode examines the science of genetically modified crops and foods. It begins by explaining, through creative animation, the actual process by which a foreign gene is introduced into a plant. It then examines the actual benefits and risks of the two types of genes currently added to GM crops - the BT gene to fight insects and the gene that protects the plant against new, more environmentally friendly insecticides. Using documentary footage, along with animation, this film defuses some of the mythology and emotion that surrounds this subject. It features Canada's leading experts in this area, as well as farmers who grow GM crops.
