Field Notes: Uncovered
Field Notes: Uncovered brings audiences closer to the scientists, researchers, and conservation leaders exploring our planet. Through documentary-style stories, podcasts, and conversations from the field, we share the discoveries, questions, and people shaping our understanding of the world around us.
From Arctic ice to the Great Lakes, from wildlife research to conservation efforts, every story reveals the science happening beyond the classroom.
Signature story
A story of hope, science, and conservation in action. Follow the people working to save the Sihek (Guam kingfisher) from extinction — one of the most important recovery missions in the Pacific.
The platform
Field Notes: Uncovered exists to make science and discovery visible. Each story follows the people doing the work — the researchers collecting data, the scientists asking important questions, and the communities whose knowledge helps us understand our changing planet.
These stories inspire curiosity, strengthen science education, and connect classrooms with the real-world discoveries shaping our future.
Why these stories matter
It happens on Arctic sea ice, aboard research vessels, in forests, oceans, wetlands, and communities around the world.
Field Notes: Uncovered brings those moments of discovery to educators, students, and curious minds everywhere.
