NOVA provides spectacular examples of how satellite imaging is transforming knowledge about Earth's processes and their interconnectedness.
Produced in extensive consultation with NASA scientists, dazzling visual sequences expose the intricate and surprising web of forces that sustain life on earth: for example, how dust blown from the Sahara fertilizes the Amazon; how a vast sub-marine "waterfall" off Antarctica drives ocean currents around the world; and how the sun’s heating of the southern Atlantic can give birth to a colossally powerful hurricane.
