That's Amazing

TV Show · Documentary

When people think about the weather, it's usually just to know what the conditions are going to be in their area so they can plan their day, but there's more to weather than just what is happening outside your door. This documentary series highlights some of the work done by people who challenge nature and seek out its limits to reveal some of the amazing phenomena that science can create in the great outdoors, including a physics professor who grows snowflakes and a soundscape ecologist, a researcher who uses sound to track how an ecosystem changes over time.
