SGER: Scientific Drilling Film Project

[0228336]该SGER奖将允许pi拍摄今年夏天在加利福尼亚州帕克菲尔德附近的圣安德烈亚斯断层钻井项目钻井活动的开始。这个2公里深的洞与圣安德烈亚斯断层（SAF）相邻，是一个试点洞，最终将在圣安德烈亚斯断层上钻一个4.5公里的洞，作为地球范围计划的一部分，现在正在考虑作为NSF 2003财年预算的一部分。这个深孔项目（SAFOD -圣安德烈亚斯断层观测站）将是第一个在如此极端的深度穿透地震活跃断裂带的地下地震观测站。地球影像基金会将拍摄SAFOD试点钻孔项目的开始，为一部关于科学钻探价值的教育电视纪录片制作重要的镜头。SAFOD项目的视觉吸引力、科学重要性和社会紧迫性使其成为主要教育电视纪录片的理想候选人。有关地震的电视节目在PBS和探索频道吸引了大批观众，一部突出SAFOD项目的纪录片将展示科学家如何使用不寻常的深钻技术来研究这种现象。它向观众提供了一个局内人的视角，让他们看到有关地震如何发生的理论的改进，以及对地震危害的认识，这一因素已被证明有助于提高地震多发地区的公共安全。在初步拍摄导孔开始后，胶片将被处理并转换为数字视频格式，然后存储在计划中的关于科学钻探的电视纪录片中使用。

0228336ProseThis SGER award will allow the PIs to film the commencement, this summer, of drilling activities for the San Andreas Fault Drilling Project, near Parkfield , California. The 2 km deep hole adjacent to the San Andreas Fault (SAF), is a pilot hole for an eventual 4.5 km hole to be drilled through the SAF as part of the EarthScope initiative now being considered as part of NSF's FY 2003 budget. This deep hole project (SAFOD - San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth) would be the first underground earthquake observatory to penetrate a seismically active fault zone at such an extreme depth.Earth Images Foundation will film the commencement of the SAFOD pilot hole project to generate crucial footage for an educational television documentary about the value of scientific drilling. The visual appeal, scientific importance, and societal urgency of the SAFOD project makes it an ideal candidate for inclusion in a major educational television documentary. Television programs about earthquakes draw large audiences on PBS and Discovery Channel, and a documentary that highlights the SAFOD project will show how scientists are using the unusual technique of deep drilling to study this phenomenon. It promises viewers an insider's look at the improvement of theories about how earthquakes work and insight on earthquake hazards, a factor that has been shown to contribute to an increase in public safety in earthquake-prone regions.After the initial filming of the pilot hole commencement, the film footage will be processed and transferred to digital video format, then stored for later use in a planned television documentary about scientific drilling.
