Watch Adventure Science on Viaway

Adventure science is about getting outside, exploring the world, and understanding nature in a scientific way. This can be in your back yard, or in the most remote region you can imagine. Adventure scientists explore the world in a low impact manner, using non-motorized means when possible to make new discoveries.

Past adventures include missing aircraft searches in rugged terrain such as the Sierra Nevadas, where motorize vehicles can't access. Each adventure also includes scientific studies from some of the Canada's top universities. The podcasts help explain the science behind basic body functions we use every day, and that are pushed to the extreme by Adventure Science athletes.

The concept of adventure science was developed by Dr. Simon Donato to solve and explore nature's mysteries. Mark Tarnopolsky of McMaster University presents the first series of podcasts for the Blaze: Niagara Escarpment race.
