Documentaries
Decoded Climate
​
Through the testimonies of passionate scientists working directly in the field, this film highlights today’s climate challenges and the methods used to study them. By expanding the perspective to the geological timescale, it reveals how the forces that have shaped our planet help us better grasp the complexity and delicate balance of the climate system.
Paths of Fire
​
The Paths of Fire: When Science Becomes a Human Adventure. Discover Iceland through the eyes of young geoscience students from the University of Geneva. Driven by passion and curiosity, they organized a scientific expedition to explore the geological wonders of this volcanic land, deepen their field training, and connect with local researchers.
Fire and Coral
​
Dive into the heart of Caribbean reefs and the mysteries between corals and volcanoes. This documentary explore marine ecosystems and exposes the urgency of coral preservation to protect our planet's balance.
The faults of the Kilauea
​
We followed the Prof. Jöel Ruch and his team on their exceptional scientific mission on Big Island, Hawai. Their discoveries on how the magma propagate within the Earth through networks of faults and fractures carry critical implications for public safety.
Archosaurs in Emosson
​
In 1976, at 2400 m in the Swiss Alps, scientists discovered footprints from 240 million years ago. Dr Tamara El Hossny and Dr. Lionel Cavin from the Natural History Museum of Geneva present the animals who left these traces and why they are visible today.
Treasures of Lebanon
​
Since the 19th century, Lebanese and Swiss authorities have studied the exceptional fossiliferous site of Haqel, that holds the keys to understand the evolution of life on Earth. Pierre Abi-Saad and his family, fossil hunters for three generations, share their excavation work.
Icelandic eruption
​
In March 2021, the Earth started to rumble on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. A team of volcanologists of the University of Geneva was quickly dispatched to the site to anticipate the forthcoming eruption and the future exit point of the magma.
La Palma eruption
​
Shortly after the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja on la Palma in 2021, a team of volcanologists of the University of Geneva went to the scene. With the local emergency response team of INVOLCAN, they had one purpose: how will it evolve and what are the risks?
Future of Swiss glaciers
​
Glaciers are essential for biodiversity and climate as well as provide in places critical freshwater resources. As climate changes drive rapid warming, a team of the University of Lausanne tracks glacial dynamics and outflow with new technologies.
