Carbon is the very essence of life on earth. So how does this element, that is so central to our existence, pose such a threat to the planet? We investigate the story of carbon.
Episode 4 looks at invasive species. Presented by Kathriona Devereux and Fergus McAuliffe.
Recent storms have caused unprecedented damage across the country and, as our climate continues to warm, they're going to become even more frequent and extreme.
Ireland is facing a housing and infrastructure crisis, and for every house we build, we need approximately 300 tonnes of raw materials, which is the equivalent of a house-sized hole in the ground. But how many of us ever think about where all these building materials come from? Ireland has a natural wealth of core building materials, and we head underground in Monaghan to explore the story of gypsum, a mineral that formed hundreds of millions of years and is now mined as an essential component in the production of the plasterboard that lines the walls of many of our buildings.
Kathriona Devereux, Amy Hassett and Fergus McAuliffe shine a light on the science that shapes and connects us all — from our health and homes to the planet we share.
This year, Aoibhinn, Jonathan and Kathriona are in the skies and underground, across Ireland and Europe, investigating the topics that are impacting on all our lives: the alarming rise of antimicrobial resistance; the latest work to capture and even recreate the awesome power of the sun; the gene therapies that could provide the answer to disease in humans, plants and animals; the secrets under the earth's surface that threaten but also sustain our way of living; the technology that could communicate thoughts; and the drones that are helping to save lives!
