Prose0331151Intellectual MeritThis grant lays the groundwork for a project that will integrate cutting-edge international geologic research with the development of innovative multimedia Earth sciences educational resources. The PIs, Doug Prose and Diane LaMacchia of Earth Images Foundation, are carrying out pre-production and production activities for two Earth science documentary videos and a classroom guide and interactive DVD for each. The PIs are collaborating with research scientists, a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) television production director at KQED in San Francisco, and a curriculum specialist to prepare and execute the shooting plan for filming the initial activities of several major scientific programs. Filming will cover the deep drilling to install sensors 4km deep in the San Andreas Fault, to penetrate the Hawaiian shield lava down to pre-existing seafloor, and the recovery of million year old sediments from Lake Malawi. Another effort will capture video from a multidisciplinary geophysical efforts surveying the ancient shield and accretionary arc in Venezuela and the Caribbean basin, and the evolution of the Appennine Mountains in Italy.Borader ImpactsThe PIs are creating a design plan to produce the classroom guides and DVDs; and preparing video treatments that produce videos compelling to both a PBS audience and to students in introductory Earth science classes. The video shooting plan, the educational material design plans, and video treatments are all evaluated by an external evaluator. The final products increase the availability of up-to-date Earth sciences educational materials that formally and informally increase science literacy and encourage young people to enter the Earth sciences as a profession. The DVDs also serve as a prototype for using new multimedia technology to organize and adapt the latest scientific research results into a rich learning experience. The PIs have filmed scientists that serve as role models to under-represented students in Earth sciences: women and minorities.

Prose 0331151智力价值这笔赠款为一个项目奠定了基础，该项目将把尖端的国际地质研究与创新的多媒体地球科学教育资源的开发相结合。 地球图像基金会的PI Doug Prose和Diane LaMacchia正在为两个地球科学纪录片视频以及每个视频的课堂指南和互动DVD进行前期制作和制作活动。 PI正在与研究科学家，公共广播服务（PBS）在旧金山弗朗西斯科的KQED电视制作总监和课程专家合作，准备和执行拍摄计划，拍摄几个主要科学节目的初始活动。拍摄将包括在圣安德烈亚斯断层4公里深处安装传感器的深度钻探，穿透夏威夷盾熔岩到预先存在的海底，以及从马拉维湖恢复百万年前的沉积物。另一项工作将捕捉视频从一个多学科的地球物理工作调查古代盾和增生弧在委内瑞拉和加勒比海盆地，并在意大利的埃克塞特山脉的演变。Borader ImpactsThe PI正在创建一个设计计划，以产生课堂指南和DVD;并准备视频处理，产生视频引人注目的PBS观众和学生在介绍地球科学类。 视频拍摄计划、教材设计计划和视频处理都由外部评估员进行评估。 最终产品增加了最新地球科学教材的供应，这些教材正式和非正式地提高科学素养，并鼓励年轻人将地球科学作为一种职业。 这些DVD还可作为使用新的多媒体技术的原型，将最新的科学研究成果组织和改编成丰富的学习经验。PI拍摄了科学家作为地球科学中代表性不足的学生的榜样：妇女和少数民族。
