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.

海洋工作室基金会正在开发一个时长五小时的电视项目，该项目将研究“地球系统科学”，该项目将与国家地理学会 (NGS) 联合制作。 地质学家、生物学家、海洋学家、气候学家、社会科学家和其他科学家正在联手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，调查地球圈、生物圈、水圈和大气之间的联系。这些节目计划作为该主题的年度系列的第一季。教育推广将包括由马里兰科学中心开发和测试的实践巡回展览；向非正式科学中心和社区组织分发印刷版和电子版的教育者指南；一个“资源工具包”，用于补充《教育者指南》，以及一个由 NGS 托管的互联网站点，提供现有和新环境资源的链接。 该系列内容还将被整合到多个 NGS 场所，包括：《今日国家地理》，国家地理频道的每日新闻节目； 《国家地理》杂志将打造“全球成绩单”作为年度专题；国家地理儿童杂志，分发给三至六年级的孩子。 项目顾问委员会包括：Richard Barber，杜克大学生物海洋学教授Robert Costanza，马里兰大学动物学教授Gretchen Daily，斯坦福大学跨学科研究科学家Robert Dunbar，斯坦福大学全球环境变化专家Habiba Gitay，澳大利亚堪培拉亚太经济与管理学院国家发展研究中心高级讲师Michael 格兰茨，国家大气研究中心环境与社会影响小组高级科学家约翰·卡森伯格，阿斯彭全球变化研究所执行主任简·卢布琴科，俄勒冈州立大学海洋生物学教授R.
