When originally broadcast in 1991, Spaceship Earth was the first comprehensive satellite study of earth shown on television. In a 10-part series it combines incredible images with computer graphics and original film shot worldwide to present the first truly global geography of our environment. SPOT and Landsat satellite technology transmit remarkably detailed images – images which are making scientists question commonly-held, often negative assumptions about the health of the planet. Each programme examines local examples of global phenomena – populations, volcanic history, oceans, weather changes, rivers, forests, soils, the desert, language and world politics. It’s geography, Jim, but not as we know it.
