The goal of this website is to explain how environmental scientists work and why the work they do is important. The site is run by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the UK public body that supports and funds the natural and environmental sciences, via major environmental research centres: the British Antarctic Survey, the British Geological Survey, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, the National Centre for Earth Observation and the National Oceanography Centre. As well as News and Features sections there is a Podcasts and Video page, where various aspects of the work done by the above bodies are discussed.

This popular American radio programme about science and philosophy is aimed at an audience of general listeners and is characterised by its innovative sound design. Each podcast takes a broad theme, such as Parasites, Placebo or Games and takes an exploratory, associative approach to the subject, aiming to stimulate curiosity rather than reach a definitive conclusion about the chosen topic. Each show is divided into several parts, featuring interviews with experts and occasional ventures into audience participation and ‘thought experiments’. The programme’s host Jad Abumrad is a trained musician and his background as a composer is evident in the podcast’s approach to sound, where music, speech and effects overlap, forming an integral part of the programme’s experimental, freewheeling ethos.

This science and natural history podcast series is distinguished by high production values and an innovative use of video. Its mission is to produce science, nature and environmental films which explore the interconnectedness of the natural world. Produced by graduate students of the School of Film & Photography - MFA in Science & Natural History Filmmaking, the site’s "podcasts" are really short films which are organised according to theme. There is no search engine but the arrangement of the videos into twelve separate categories means that exploring the site’s content is relatively straightforward.

Part of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the Library’s archive defines itself as ‘the world’s largest and oldest scientific archive of biodiversity audio and video recordings.' With recordings going back to the 1920s, exaxcting details are provided for the hundreds of thousands of items, both audio and video, though not all have been digitised yet. Encoding levels are generally high.
Its vast array of holdings are complimented by helpful guide on academic citation of their AV records as well as details on how to add content to the library.

The NSF is an American Federal Agency which funds research across a wide range of scientific areas, from astronomy to geology to zoology, with the exception of medical science. A particular aim is to fund cutting-edge research: projects and collaborations which may "seem like science fiction today" but tomorrow will be accepted as part of the fabric of everyday life. Their nanoscience page reflects this commitment to pushing back the frontiers of scientific research. The Multimedia Gallery features stills, podcasts, film and video across all fields of science and engineering, again, with an emphasis on current research and development, coupled with an awareness of the foundation’s educational mission.
