episode description
Researchers are pioneering a new way to recover 100-year-old recordings. Found on fragile wax cylinders and early lacquer records, the sounds reveal a rich acoustic heritage, including languages long lost. Over the last few decades, hundreds of thousands of acres of wetlands have been lost to development and industrialization. Find out how historical ecologists are recreating these lost environments using old maps and photographs. In the early 1900's, researchers traveled around the Western United States and created detailed records of the wildlife they found. A century later, scientists are revisiting the same sites to see if the fauna has changed. They’ve found that global warming is already having an impact.
