After a long day of digging gold out of the ground, crushing it at the mill and refining it at the lab, Ralph Johnsrud and his miners can go back to their homes in Virginia City. Referred to by many as a ghost town, Virginia city witnessed the rise and fall of Montana's gold industry. However, in the past couple of years miners like Ralph reopened their mines, offering jobs to locals and bringing life to the town. Environmentally friendly mining is one of the biggest concerns at Madison Mine and illustrates the new face of mining in the American west.

TERRA 504: Fueling the Inferno

[LESS INFO] 37 VIEWS | ADDED 19:31:41 01/30/09
Nearly a century of aggressive fire suppression has left our National Forests overcrowded and disease infested, leading to historically high amounts of dead and live fuels accumulation. This paired with a recent trend of hotter and drier summers sets the stage for a surge in conflagrations so immense that more and more fire suppression efforts are proving futile. Not only does this epidemic threaten our wild legacy, but it also puts thousands of firefighters, homeowners, and those who recreate at risk. Fueling The Inferno provides an introduction to this issue and explores some of the causal factors and societal implications.

TERRA Special Engagement - Grant Park, November 4th 2008

[LESS INFO] 34 VIEWS | ADDED 23:19:22 01/19/09
On November 4th, 2008 history changed course. in one of the largest and most dramatic public gatherings to date in the US, President Barack Obama claimed a landslide victory against John McCain ushering in a new era in American politics. Two graduate students from Montana State University's MFA Program in Documentary Film were on-site in Grant Park that momentous day and produced a film that captures the anticipation and excitement of the masses. As Obama takes over the White House many wonder what new changes are in store for stem cell reseach, alternative energy, and the preservation of our wild spaces. Important issues in science and nature are once again on the agenda and we at TERRA are hopeful that Obama will move these issues back to the forefront.

The Flying Dustbin is the success story of the Fulmar, a seabird which numbers 500,000 pairs in the UK but was virtually unknown as a breeding species at the turn of the last century. The film documents the reasons for its success, but is also a warning. The Fulmar faces some very serious modern problems, 9 out of 10 Fulmars in the North Sea have plastic in their stomachs whilst global warming is diminishing its natural prey stocks, leading to breeding failures. The film was shot at various locations around Scotland including Aberdeenshire, the Orkney Islands, St Kilda as well as in the Netherlands.
