Planet Earth This series presents visually spectacular tours of the seven continents as it makes connections between our solar system and Earth's oceans, climate, and mineral and energy sources. It unifies Earth science, astronomy, and comparative planetology into an integrated discipline that relies on common scientific methods. A flexible instructional resource, Planet Earth provides course material for nonscience students and science majors. Produced by WQED/Pittsburgh in association with the National Academy of Sciences. 1986.
The Habitable Planet: A Systems Approach to Environmental Science This course begins with an overview of the Earth's systems � geophysical, atmospheric, oceanic, and ecosystems � as they exist independently of human influence. Following this introduction, the course explores the effect that human activities have on the different natural systems. Topics include human population growth and resource use, increasing competition for fresh water, and climate change. Each of the 13 programs features two case studies following top scientists in the field. Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in association with the Harvard University Center for the Environment. 2007.
