As part of its overall strategy to enhance learning in informal environments, the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program funds innovative resources for use in a variety of settings. This project is a time sensitive educational response to the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, 2015 and was followed by major aftershocks. This project builds on the intense worldwide interest in that disaster by developing and distributing media resources for the public and educators explaining the scientific research into tectonic and fluvial processes of this highly vulnerable region encompassing the Himalayas of Nepal, the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Delta of Bangladesh and India, and the mountains of northeastern India. Project deliverables include PBS NewsHour broadcasts and online stories, short videos for classroom use, 3D/2D videos for public screenings in museums, Earth Magazine blogs and articles, and DVDs. Making new research understandable and accessible to the public is an important activity of the U.S. research enterprise. NSF is making a substantial investment in earth sciences research to increase knowledge of the conditions and processes that periodically cause earthquakes, landslides, and flooding. This education project leverages those investments and the public interest in the recent Nepal earthquake with a major public engagement opportunity that has the potential for reaching millions of students, teachers, and the public both in the U.S. and in other vulnerable regions.

作为加强非正式环境中学习的整体战略的一部分，推进非正式STEM学习（AISL）计划为各种环境中使用的创新资源提供资金。该项目是对2015年4月25日尼泊尔发生7.8级地震并随后发生重大余震的时间敏感的教育反应。 该项目利用全世界对这场灾难的强烈兴趣，为公众和教育工作者开发和分发媒体资源，解释对这一高度脆弱地区的构造和河流过程的科学研究，该地区包括尼泊尔的喜马拉雅山、孟加拉国和印度的恒河-雅鲁藏布江三角洲以及印度东北部的山区。 项目交付成果包括PBS NewsHour广播和在线故事、课堂使用的短视频、博物馆公开放映的3D/2D视频、地球杂志博客和文章以及DVD。使新的研究为公众所理解和使用是美国研究企业的一项重要活动。NSF正在对地球科学研究进行大量投资，以增加对周期性导致地震，山体滑坡和洪水的条件和过程的了解。 这个教育项目利用这些投资和公众对最近尼泊尔地震的兴趣，提供了一个重大的公众参与机会，有可能接触到美国和其他脆弱地区的数百万学生、教师和公众。
