IPY: Collaborative Research: Live from the Poles; A Multimedia Educational Experience

该项目汇集了极地研究人员、科学中心和广播媒体记者，向广大公众和师生讲述四次极地考察的故事。对北极和南极的四次考察是根据它们与国家科学基金会界定的三个国际基础科学年研究重点领域的相关性而选择的。一名科学作家和一名专业摄影师/海洋学家将在潜水和发现网站上每天进行网络直播，并在波士顿科学博物馆、史密森自然历史博物馆、菲尔德博物馆(芝加哥)、休斯顿自然科学博物馆、太平洋科学中心(西雅图)、桦树水族馆(圣地亚哥)、国家公共广播电台、CBS新闻和为Scholastic Online撰写文章的学生记者那里向观众提供几个预定的实时电话补丁。节目也将在加州大学电视台播出。世界卫生组织展览中心的博物馆展览将突出极地研究。它的组成部分将被带到合作博物馆，或者在合作博物馆复制。还将创建探险材料的照片档案，并向感兴趣的用户提供。

This project brings together polar researchers, science centers and broadcast media reporters to tell the story of four polar research expeditions to the general public, teachers and students. The four expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic were chosen based on their relevance to the three primary IPY research emphasis areas defined by NSF. A science writer and a professional photographer/oceanographer reporting on each expedition will do daily webcasts on the Dive and Discover web site as well as several scheduled real-time phone patches to audiences at the Museum of Science, Boston, the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, The Field Museum (Chicago), the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Pacific Science Center (Seattle), the Birch Aquarium (San Diego), National Public Radio stations, CBS News, and to student "reporters" writing for Scholastic Online. Programs will also be broadcast on University of California TV. A museum exhibit at the WHOI Exhibit Center will highlight polar research. Components of it will either travel to partner museums or be replicated in the partnering museums. Photo archives of the expeditionary material will also be created and made available to interested users.
