海洋工作室基金会正在开发一个五小时的电视项目，将审查“地球系统科学”，这将是与国家地理学会（NGS）联合制作。 地质学家，生物学家，海洋学家，气候学家，社会科学家和其他人正在联合起来了解地球快速变化的环境。 该系列将跟踪这些科学家正在进行的研究，因为他们调查地球的陆圈，生物圈，水圈和大气层之间的联系。这些方案计划作为关于这一主题的年度系列的第一季，教育推广活动将包括由马里兰州科学中心开发和测试的一个实践巡回展览;一份教育工作者指南，以印刷和电子形式分发给非正式科学中心和社区组织;一个“资源工具包”，以充实《教育工作者指南》，以及一个由NGS主办的因特网网址，提供现有和新的环境资源的链接。 该系列的内容也将被整合到几个NGS场地，包括：国家地理频道的每日新闻节目《国家地理今日》;国家地理杂志，它将创建一个“全球报告卡”作为年度专题;和国家地理儿童杂志，分发给三到六年级的儿童。 项目咨询委员会成员包括：杜克大学生物海洋学教授Richard Barber马里兰大学动物学教授Robert Costanza斯坦福大学跨学科研究科学家Gretchen Daily斯坦福大学全球环境变化专家Robert Dunbar澳大利亚堪培拉亚太经济管理学院国家发展研究中心高级讲师Habiba Gitay国家大气研究中心环境和社会影响小组高级科学家Michael Glantz阿斯白杨全球变化研究所执行主任John Katzenberger俄勒冈州州立大学海洋生物学教授Jane Lubchenco R.麦克尼尔，乔治敦大学历史学教授Harold Mooney，斯坦福大学环境生物学教授Steven Schneider，斯坦福大学环境生物学和全球变化教授Brian步行者，英联邦科学与工业研究组织生物多样性部门协调员，阿德莱德，南澳

Sea Studios Foundation is developing a five-hour television-based project that will examine "Earth System Science," which will be produced in association with the National Geographic Society (NGS). Geologists, biologists, oceanographers, climatologists, social scientists and others are joining forces to understand the planet's rapidly changing environment. The series will follow the on-going research of these scientists as they investigate the links between Earth's geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. These programs are planned as the first season of an annual series on the topic.Educational outreach will include a hands-on traveling exhibit to be developed and tested by the Maryland Science Center; an Educator's Guide for print and electronic distribution to informal science centers and community organizations; a "resource toolkit" to augment the Educator's Guide and an Internet site hosted by NGS that provides links to existing and new environmental resources. The series content also will be integrated into several NGS venues including: National Geographic Today, the daily news program on the National Geographic Channel; National Geographic Magazine, which will create a "global report card" as an annual feature; and National Geographic for Kids magazine, which is distributed to children in grades three through six. The project advisory board includes:Richard Barber, Professor of Biological Oceanography, Duke UniversityRobert Costanza, Professor of Zoology, University of MarylandGretchen Daily, Interdisciplinary Research Scientist, Stanford UniversityRobert Dunbar, Specialist in Global Environmental Change, Stanford UniversityHabiba Gitay, Senior Lecturer, National Centre for Development Studies, Asia Pacific School of Economics and Management, Canberra, AustraliaMichael Glantz, Senior Scientist, the Environmental and Societal Impacts Group, National Center for Atmospheric ResearchJohn Katzenberger, Executive Director of Aspen Global change InstituteJane Lubchenco, Professor of Marine Biology, Oregon State UniversityJ.
