Climatic change is the main focus of this episode and we examine long term climate change based on data from ice cores, tree rings and other evidence. This provides a perspective from which students can understand the current debate on global warming and draw logical conclusion based on past and current evidence.

These episodes explore some of the natural hazards the Australian climate brings. These include floods, thunderstorms, droughts and bushfires. Although these events are natural, our response to them is important to reduce both the economic and human life cost. In these episodes, students will relive some of Australia's natural disasters from a human and environmental perspective and gain an understanding of the role of the State Emergency Services in limiting the impacts.

The team pass lava-destroyed cities to reach the summit of the temperamental Nyiragongo volcano. Here they spend three days facing extreme temperatures and bubbling lava while living inside the crater, potentially answering geology's biggest questions: What drives the movement of tectonic plates? Can the team find a way to predict when the volcano will erupt?
