Producing New Geo-media to Increase Outreach and Diversity

在这个项目下，一部新的电视连续剧《道格的地质杂志》将在公共广播服务（PBS）网络上制作和首播。该系列的目的是使地质概念引人注目的大和不同的电视观众。对于想要深入了解地质学的观众和希望将该系列内容作为课堂教学辅助工具的教师，将推出一个系列网站，其中包括课堂课程和其他相关视频内容，指导学生使用最少的设备制作自己的科学视频。在这个项目下，还将制作一部单独的一小时电视纪录片《板块的星球》，讲述地质学的主要理论——板块构造。该项目旨在引起公众对令人兴奋的地质进展的关注，以及地球科学家社区在世界各地具有挑战性的环境中做出新发现的工作。在应对日益严重的自然资源短缺、气候变化以及地震、洪水、山体滑坡和火山爆发等地质灾害方面，地质概念知识变得越来越重要，这一点至关重要。该项目满足了PBS观众对更多以地球科学为导向的节目的愿望，同时突出了高度多样化的科学家群体为更全面地了解和欣赏地球地质属性所做的重要工作。这一提议将为PBS和国际广播制作和发行新的地球科学电视系列的第一集，并通过流媒体和DVD发行。将推出一个教育资源的配套网站，将该系列的影响扩大到课堂，其中包括一个培训视频，指导用户制作自己的科学探索视频的基础知识。根据该项目，将制作一部新的电视连续剧《道格的地质杂志》（暂定名），并在公共广播服务（PBS）网络上首播。这个系列和这个一小时纪录片的制作人是地球影像基金会的道格·普罗斯和黛安·拉玛基亚，他们已经为美国公共广播公司制作了18部成功的纪录片，在七大洲拍摄。该项目的主要目标是制作外展产品，提高公众对地球科学概念、研究和职业的认识和兴趣，并提供有效的教育资源，以加强K-12教师的地质学教学。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

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.
