Resolve to Solve with Miles O'Brien - Episode Guide

Cow burps are heating the planet, and one dairy farmer's seaweed fix might help cool it down. 

Beavers are nature's engineers who are reviving areas of the drought-stricken West.

Miles O'Brien examines innovative ways communities and scientists are responding to extreme heat, traveling from Arizona to Australia to explore cooling strategies, heat-resilient design, and efforts to protect vulnerable people from rising temperatures.

Miles O'Brien travels to New Bedford, Massachusetts, where offshore wind is being developed as a major source of clean energy and a potential economic engine for the region. The episode examines the technology, the local political and economic stakes, and the challenges of building a large-scale offshore wind industry.

Kris Tompkins went from Patagonia CEO to conservation visionary, spending her fortune with late husband Doug to protect over 16 million acres in Chile and Argentina. Miles O'Brien joins her in Argentina's Ibera wetlands as jaguars, extinct there for a century, are captured, collared, and released into the wild. It's a bold experiment in reversing extinction that comes with risk, loss, and hope.

Thwaites Glacier is melting faster than any glacier on Earth, and its collapse could raise global sea levels by feet, not inches.

Miles O'Brien sails to Antarctica aboard a Korean icebreaker with scientists drilling through 3,000 feet of ice to reach the water below and explore a radical idea: an underwater curtain that might buy the world some time before the "Doomsday Glacier" gives way.

A century ago, seven states divided the Colorado River based on faulty math. Now, as climate change shrinks the snowpack that feeds it, the river delivers a third less water than it once did, and the states can't agree who should cut back. Miles O'Brien meets farmers fallowing fields, negotiators at odds, and an accidental sea, all caught in the reckoning over America's most overallocated river.

Beneath our feet lies a nearly endless supply of clean energy. Miles O'Brien traces the unlikely rise of enhanced geothermal power, from a Cold War-era experiment at Los Alamos to Texas oil fields, where veteran frackers repurpose drilling technology to tap hot rock instead of crude. With billion-dollar startups and oil majors now betting on it, geothermal may finally be ready to reshape the grid.
