Geoantiquities Video Project

该项目将向公众传播美国国家科学基金会赠款DEB-9817777的成果，“城市景观中的地球系统历史--在城市快速增长地区实施地球系统资源管理”。在之前制作NSF资助的视频制作经验的基础上，PI将制作一段10-15分钟的视频，呈现“地古”的概念，定义为记录环境变化的地球历史的自然记录。这段视频将重点介绍地球科学家为实现犹他州盐湖城更新世博纳维尔湖创造的地质地貌的地质古迹指定所采取的步骤。目标受众是普通公众，但也包括那些积极参与土地使用问题的人，如政府土地管理和规划官员、政界人士、开发商和土地所有者。

This project will communicate to public audiences the results of NSF grant DEB-9817777, "Earth System History in the Urban Landscape -- Implementing Geosystem Resource Management in Regions of Rapid Urban Growth." Building on prior experience producing NSF-funded video productions, the PI will produce a 10-15 minute video presenting the concept of "geoantiquity," defined as a natural record of earth history that documents environmental change. The video will highlight the steps taken by earth scientists to achieve geoantiquity designation for geologic landforms created by Pleistocene Lake Bonneville in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. The target audience is the general public, but also those actively engaged in land use issues, such as government land management and planning officials, politicians, developers and landowners.
