Mongolia 3D

该奖项为一部3D高清（HD）视频纪录片提供了初始资金，该纪录片讲述了一个国际地球科学家小组参与调查蒙古中部异常活跃的隆起地形（Hangay Dome）及其对区域气候模式和生态系统的影响的过程（E.1009702）。 位于蒙古中部的Hangay Dome为研究这些过程提供了一个极好的和可访问的实验室，并确定地幔上涌、基性岩底侵、岩石圈下沉或羽流活动在其隆升过程中的重要作用程度。将在网上提供原始和经解释的项目数据，供各级教室使用。3D视频格式是从非常成功的3D故事片格式中涌现出来的一种新的沉浸式电视媒体，蒙古3D将成为从开始到交付都完全采用3D制作的先锋纪录片制作之一。EAGER奖将支持2011年夏天地质学家在蒙古进行野外工作的第一个野外季节的前期制作规划和研究以及3D拍摄。这段录像将是设想的3D纪录片的一个组成部分; PI将捕捉一个重大科学领域项目的令人兴奋的开始阶段，该项目有望在我们对大陆演化的重要过程的理解方面取得重大进展。

This award provides initial funding for a 3D High Definition (HD) video documentary about an international group of earth scientists engaged in an investigation of the processes responsible for central Mongolia's unusually active uplifting terrain (the Hangay Dome) and its consequences for regional climate patterns and ecosystems (EAR -1009702). The Hangay Dome in central Mongolia provides an excellent and accessible laboratory to investigate these processes and determine the degree to which mantle upwelling, mafic underplating, lithospheric foundering or plume activity have been important agents in its uplift.The research project as a whole will be the focus of a feature-length documentary film (Mongolia 3D) aimed at Earth-science education and public outreach. Primary and interpreted project data will be available on the web for use in classrooms at various levels. The 3D video format is a new immersive television medium that has emerged from the highly successful 3D feature film format, and Mongolia 3D will be among the pioneering documentary productions fully produced, from inception to delivery, in 3D.This EAGER award will support pre-production planning and research and 3D filming of the geologists' first field season doing fieldwork in Mongolia in the summer of 2011. This footage will be an integral part of the envisioned 3D documentary; the PIs will capture the exciting beginning phase of a major scientific field project which holds great promise to make significant advancements in our understanding of an important process of continental evolution.
