Volcano: Lost City Pompii

9804615 APELL波士顿NOVA/WGBH的大幅面电影单位与自由科学中心合作，正在制作一部关于火山学科学的40分钟大幅面电影。《火山：庞贝迷失之城》将讲述一群不同的科学家一起工作的故事，每个科学家都在自己的特定领域工作，以更好地了解维苏威火山在今天和未来几年的合理预期行为。在科学团队的带领下，这部电影将使人们对岩浆流动和板块构造有一个基本的了解，板块构造是火山形成的地质基石。这部电影将地质学和考古学融合在一起，讲述一个正在进行的侦探故事--一个现代科学调查，融合了最先进的技术和技术，以及从建筑、受害者遗骸和生动的目击者描述中获得的古代证据，这些证据可以追溯到近2000年前的维苏威火山喷发。影片涉及的科学学科范围包括：地球化学、地质学、地球物理学、遥感、板块构造学、地震学、考古学和火山学。这部电影将为听障人士提供字幕，并为视障观众提供视觉描述。这部电影将得到广泛的教育外展计划的支持，其中包括：*庞贝地球科学探索，这是一个在全国100个男孩和女孩俱乐部中针对服务不足和弱势青年的计划；*庞贝博物馆工具包，使博物馆能够将现有的展览与电影的使用相结合，并包括围绕电影建立的外展计划的模型；*庞贝活动指南，是我们在非正式和正式的科学教育环境中针对高年级小学和中学青年的活动指南；以及*庞贝理念手册，为博物馆提供的小册子，分享在第一年放映电影的博物馆实施的成功的外展计划。NOVA执行制片人兼WGBH科学股主任Paula Apsell将担任PI。联合执行制片人将是苏珊·辛普森，她之前曾制作过《暴风雨追逐者》和《极限》等大画幅电影。关键的科学顾问将是加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的理查德·费舍尔。咨询委员会的其他成员包括Osservatorio Vesuvio董事Lucia Civetta和Assoc的Diane Favro。以下人士作了发言：加州大学洛杉矶分校艺术与建筑学院教授；洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室地球与环境科学部主任兼国际火山学会主席Grant Heiken；美国地质调查局灾害援助项目负责人Dan Miller；罗德岛大学海洋研究生院教授Haraldur Sigurdsson；以及汉密尔顿学院地质学教授和全国地球科学教师协会前主席Barbara Tewks bury。自由科学中心总裁兼首席执行官埃米伦·科斯特将担任关键的教育顾问。

9804615 Apsell The large format film unit at NOVA/WGBH Boston, in association with the Liberty Science Center, is producing a 40-minute large format film about the science of volcanology. Volcano: Lost City of Pompeii will tell the story of a diverse group of scientists working together, each in his or her specific field, to understand better how Vesuvius can reasonably be expected to behave - today and in the years to come. Following the scientific teams, the film will impart a basic understanding of magma flow and plate tectonics, the geological building blocks out of which volcanoes emerge. The film will blend geology with archaeology to tell an ongoing detective story - a present-day scientific investigation that integrates state of the art techniques and technology with ancient evidence derived from buildings, victims' remains, and vivid eyewitness accounts that go back nearly 2,000 years to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The range of scientific disciplines involved in the film includes: geochemistry, geology, geophysics, remote sensing, plate tectonics, seismology, archaeology, and volcanology. The film will be available with both captioning for the hearing impaired and visual description for visually impaired members of the audience. The film will be supported by an extensive educational outreach plan that includes: * Pompeii Earth Science Exploration, a program targeting underserved and disadvantaged youth at 100 Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide, * Pompeii Museum Toolkit, a blueprint enabling museums to integrate existing exhibitry with use of the film and including models for outreach initiatives built around the film, * Pompeii Activity Guide, an activity guide for us with upper elementary and middle school youth in both informal and form science education settings, and * Pompeii Idea Handbook, a booklet for museums that shares successful outreach programs implemented by museums showing the film during the first year. Paula Apsell, Executive Producer of N OVA and Director of the WGBH Science Unit, will be the PI. The Co-Executive Producer will be Susanne Simpson who previously produced such large format films as Storm Chasers and To the Limit. The Key Scientific Advisor will be Richard Fisher of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Others on the advisory committee include Lucia Civetta, Director of Osservatorio Vesuvio; Diane Favro, Assoc. Prof. in the School of Arts and Architecture at UCLA; Grant Heiken, President of the Earth and Environmental Science Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory and President of the International Society of volcanology; Dan Miller, Chief of the U.S. Geological Survey's Disaster Assistance Program; Haraldur Sigurdsson, Professor in the Graduate School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island; and Barbara Tewksbury, Professor of Geology at Hamilton College and past president of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers. Emyln Koster, President and CEO of the Liberty Science Center, will act as key education advisor.
