Exploring Coral Reefs, Climate Change & Carbon Dioxide - New Classroom Resources AvailableMay 16, 2011 Coral Reefs are rich, sensitive ecosystems vital to the survival of one-quarter of all sea life and the economies of many countries. But what are corals really, how do they function and why are they now threatened by rising sea temperatures and increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? World leading Australian marine scientists Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg and Professor Peter Harrison answer these and many other questions about corals reefs in two new series of educational video presentations both hosted by Dr 'Kiki' Sanford. Created in collaboration with Education Services Australia, The Le@rning Federation, Specialty Studios and Plankton Productions, a total of nine insightful video modules with support materials aligned with curriculum standards for education in science are now available. |

Undersea Edens wins 'Best Series' award at IWFFApril 5, 2010 Today, the International Wildlife Film Festival at Missoula, Montana announced its winners for 2010. Undersea Edens won the category for 'Best Series' (under $500K) which is a FANTASTIC award for producers Nate Scripture, David Hannan and their teams collaborating on this international co-production. Commissioned by Smithsonian Channel in the USA, Undersea Edens is an innovative six-part natural history series celebrating the marine world though the eyes of Australian Emmy-Award winning cameraman David Hannan. The series is set above and below the waterline in the most life-abundant seas on our planet – the kinds of places so remote few film crews dare venture. Locations range from the giant kelp forests of Tasmania to remote coral reefs off of Papua New Guinea. Subjects vary in size from massive, whirling 15-foot Manta Rays to tiny imperial shrimp smaller than a child’s fingernail. |
