This project seeks to create a new geoscience outreach institute that will generate broadcast documentaries and videos about geoscience research and provide hands-on training in media production to geoscience students and researchers. This project addresses the need to increase public awareness about the importance and significance of geoscience research done by a diverse, dynamic group of researchers, and also addresses the need to attract and retain a more diverse population of young people to the geoscience fields by offering hands-on media training to college students and faculty that will increase their skills in public communication in this increasingly media-oriented world. The PIs for this project are veteran earth science filmmakers Doug Prose and Diane LaMacchia of Earth Images Foundation, who have produced eighteen successful documentaries for broadcast on PBS and internationally, and many shorter geoscience focused videos, set in locations on every continent. They have also mentored a number of geoscience students in media production techniques; some of these students have gone on to utilize these skills in professional positions. In addition to creating a mechanism for developing and producing in a timely fashion both professional broadcast documentaries and student/researcher-produced videos about geoscience research this project will also provide a unique incentive to students from diverse backgrounds to participate in geoscience research projects and field camps/schools, and while in the field receive intensive media training from the PIs. The trainees will not only have the opportunity to contribute content to a broadcast documentary and their own video production, they will learn a valuable skill in communicating science to the public using advanced production techniques, which will increase their competitiveness as they seek new positions, and ultimately broaden the number and diversity of geologists who can skillfully document important and exciting geoscience research activities and thereby increase the quality and quantity of accurate, credible media products about geoscience topics that raise public awareness of the relevance, importance, and need for geoscience research and knowledge. Focusing on diversity of gender, ethnicity, and economic background among the students and researchers participating in this project will have the impact of providing participants of differing perspectives with a skill that will permit them to more effectively and creatively apply and express those diverse perspectives in their own work, ultimately increasing the number and diversity of voices that reach the public with the impact of engaging a broader, more diverse audience with authoritative, relevant geoscience information. This pilot project addresses the need for earth scientists to communicate more effectively with the public in today's increasingly media-oriented world by developing an efficient mechanism for generating compelling broadcast documentaries and videos about geoscience research and by providing hands-on training in media production to a diverse group of earth science students and researchers. PIs Doug Prose and Diane LaMacchia of Earth Images Foundation are veteran earth science filmmakers who have produced eighteen successful documentaries for PBS broadcast, set in locations on all seven continents, as well as many shorter geoscience videos. As part of their educational mission, on recent film shoots the PIs have begun mentoring geoscience and other students in video production techniques. The goals of this EAGER are to: 1. Create a mechanism for efficiently documenting relevant new and ongoing research activities being carried out by a diverse group of researchers; 2. Produce in a timely fashion both professional broadcast documentaries and student/researcher-produced videos about geoscience research; 3. Provide a unique incentive to students from diverse backgrounds to participate in geoscience research projects and field camps/schools; 4. Offer a unique opportunity to widen students' and researchers' skill sets as geoscientists to include communicating science to the public using video production techniques; 5. Broaden the number and diversity of geoscience who can skillfully document important and exciting geoscience research activities and produce high-quality videos for the public. One broad impact of this project is to increase the quality and quantity of accurate, credible media products about geoscience topics that reach the public at large and raise public awareness of the relevance, importance, and need for geoscience research and knowledge. This project is also designed to get young students interested in acquiring the capability to produce high quality videos for public audiences, so that they ultimately embrace the idea of sharing their unique knowledge of geoscience concepts with the public as a component of their careers as professional geoscientists. Focusing on diversity of gender, ethnicity, and economic background among the students and researchers participating in this project will have the impact of providing participants with differing perspectives with a skill that will permit them to more effectively and creatively apply and express those diverse perspectives in their own work, ultimately increasing the number and diversity of voices that reach the public with the impact of engaging a broader, more diverse audience with authoritative, relevant geoscience information.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目力求建立一个新的地球科学外联机构，制作有关地球科学研究的广播纪录片和录像，并向地球科学学生和研究人员提供媒体制作方面的实践培训。 该项目解决了需要提高公众对地球科学研究的重要性和意义的认识，由一个多样化的，充满活力的研究人员群体，并解决了需要吸引和留住更多的年轻人的地球科学领域提供动手媒体培训，以提高他们的技能，在这个日益媒体导向的世界。 该项目的PI是地球图像基金会的资深地球科学电影制片人Doug Prose和Diane LaMacchia，他们制作了18部成功的纪录片，在PBS和国际上播出，以及许多以地球科学为重点的短片，设置在每个大陆的位置。 他们还指导了一些地球科学专业的学生学习媒体制作技术;其中一些学生已经在专业岗位上利用这些技能。 除了创建一个机制，及时开发和制作专业广播纪录片和学生/研究人员制作的关于地球科学研究的视频外，该项目还将为来自不同背景的学生提供独特的激励，以参与地球科学研究项目和野外营地/学校，并在实地接受PI的强化媒体培训。 受训人员不仅有机会为广播纪录片和自己的录像制作提供内容，还将学习利用先进制作技术向公众传播科学的宝贵技能，这将提高他们在寻求新职位时的竞争力，并最终扩大地质学家的数量和多样性，他们可以熟练地记录重要和令人兴奋的地球科学研究活动，提高关于地球科学主题的准确、可信的媒体产品的质量和数量，提高公众对地球科学研究和知识的相关性、重要性和必要性的认识。 专注于性别，种族和经济背景的多样性的学生和研究人员参加这个项目将提供不同观点的参与者的技能，使他们能够更有效地和创造性地应用和表达自己的工作中的这些不同的观点的影响，最终增加的数量和多样性的声音，达到公众参与更广泛的，提供权威的、相关的地球科学信息。这个试验项目解决了地球科学家在当今日益以媒体为导向的世界中更有效地与公众沟通的需要，方法是建立一个有效的机制，制作关于地球科学研究的引人注目的广播纪录片和录像，并向各种各样的地球科学学生和研究人员提供媒体制作方面的实践培训。 地球图像基金会的PI Doug Prose和Diane LaMacchia是资深的地球科学电影制作人，他们为PBS广播制作了18部成功的纪录片，设置在所有七大洲的地点，以及许多较短的地球科学视频。 作为他们教育使命的一部分，在最近的电影拍摄中，PI已经开始指导地球科学和其他学生掌握视频制作技术。 这个渴望的目标是：1。建立一个机制，有效地记录不同研究人员群体正在开展的相关新的和正在进行的研究活动; 2.及时制作有关地球科学研究的专业广播纪录片和学生/研究人员制作的视频; 3.为来自不同背景的学生提供独特的激励，以参与地球科学研究项目和野外营地/学校; 4.提供一个独特的机会，以扩大学生和研究人员的技能，作为地球科学家，包括使用视频制作技术向公众传播科学; 5。介绍地球科学的数量和多样性，他们可以熟练地记录重要和令人兴奋的地球科学研究活动，并为公众制作高质量的视频。 该项目的一个广泛影响是提高了关于地球科学主题的准确、可信的媒体产品的质量和数量，这些产品能够接触到广大公众，并提高公众对地球科学研究和知识的相关性、重要性和必要性的认识。 该项目还旨在让年轻学生有兴趣获得为公众制作高质量视频的能力，使他们最终接受与公众分享他们独特的地球科学概念知识的想法，作为专业地球科学家职业生涯的一部分。 专注于性别，种族和经济背景的多样性的学生和研究人员参加这个项目将有提供参与者与技能，使他们能够更有效地和创造性地应用和表达这些不同的观点在自己的工作，最终增加的数量和多样性的声音，达到公众参与更广泛的，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
