A new television series, Doug's Geology Journal, will be produced and premiered on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) network under this project. The series is designed to make geological concepts compelling to a large and diverse television audience. For viewers who want to delve deeper into geology, and for teachers wishing to use the series' content as a teaching aid in the classroom, a series website will be launched with classroom lessons, and additional related video content that instructs students in making their own science video with minimal equipment. Also under this project, a separate one-hour television documentary, Planet of the Plates, about geology's leading theory, plate tectonics, will be produced. This project aims to bring to the attention of the public exciting geologic advancements and the work of a community of geoscientists making new discoveries in challenging settings around the world. This is crucial at a time when knowledge of geological concepts is becoming increasingly important in addressing growing natural resource shortages, climate change, and geologic hazards such as earthquakes, flooding, landslides, and volcanic eruptions. This project addresses the desire of the PBS audience for more geoscience-oriented programming, while highlighting the vital work of a highly diverse groups of scientists to more fully understand and appreciate the Earth's geological attributes. This proposal will enable the production and distribution of the first set of episodes of a new geoscience television series for PBS and international broadcast, as well as distribution via streaming and DVD. A companion website of educational resources that expand the impact of the series to the classroom will be launched, including a training video that instructs users in the basics of making their own video about their own science explorations. A new television series, Doug's Geology Journal (working title) will be produced and premiered on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) network under this project. The producers of both the series and the one-hour documentary are Doug Prose and Diane LaMacchia of Earth Images Foundation, filmmakers who have produced eighteen successful documentaries for PBS broadcast, filmed on location on all seven continents. The primary goals of this project are to produce outreach products that raise public awareness and interest in geoscience concepts, research and careers, as well as to provide effective educational resources to enhance the teaching of geology by K-12 teachers.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.

新电视连续剧《道格的地质杂志》将在该项目的公共广播服务（PBS）网络上生产和首映。 该系列旨在使地质概念吸引着大量多样化的电视观众。 对于希望深入研究地质学的观众，对于希望将系列内容用作教室的教学辅助的老师，将在课堂课上启动一个系列网站，以及其他相关视频内容，这些视频内容指示学生用最少的设备制作自己的科学视频。 同样在这个项目下，还将制作一部单独的一小时电视纪录片《板球行星》，内容涉及地质的主要理论，即板块构造。 该项目旨在引起公众激动人心的地质进步的关注，以及一个地球科学家社区的工作，在世界各地的挑战环境中提出了新的发现。 在解决日益增长的自然资源短缺，气候变化以及地质危害（例如地震，洪水，山体滑坡和火山喷发）方面，对地质概念的知识变得越来越重要的时候至关重要。 该项目解决了PBS受众对更面向地球科学的编程的愿望，同时强调了高度多样化的科学家群体的重要工作，以更充分理解和欣赏地球地质属性。该提案将使PBS和International Broadcast的新地球科学电视连续剧的第一集以及通过流媒体和DVD发行的生产和分发。 将启动一个教育资源的伴侣网站，该网站将启动该系列对课堂的影响，包括一个培训视频，该视频指导用户制作自己的有关自己的科学探索的基础知识。 新电视连续剧《道格的地质杂志》（工作标题）将在该项目下的公共广播服务（PBS）网络上制作并首映。 该系列的制作人和一小时的纪录片是Doug Prose和Diane Lamacchia of Earth Images Foundation，电影制片人，他们制作了十八个成功的PBS广播纪录片，并在所有七大洲的现场拍摄。 该项目的主要目标是生产推广产品，以提高公众对地球科学概念，研究和职业的意识和兴趣，并提供有效的教育资源，以增强K-12教师的地质教学。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过该基金会的知识分子优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得的支持。
