Producing New Geo-media to Increase Outreach and Diversity

根据这一项目，将制作一部新的电视系列片《道格的地质学杂志》，并在公共广播服务网首播。 该系列旨在使地质概念吸引大量不同的电视观众。 对于希望深入研究地质学的观众，以及希望在课堂上使用该系列内容作为教学辅助的教师，将推出一个系列网站，提供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，还将制作一个单独的一小时电视纪录片《板块的星球》，介绍地质学的主要理论，板块构造。 该项目旨在引起公众对令人兴奋的地质进步和地球科学家社区在世界各地具有挑战性的环境中取得新发现的工作的关注。 这是至关重要的，因为在解决日益严重的自然资源短缺，气候变化和地质灾害，如地震，洪水，山体滑坡和火山爆发等问题时，地质概念的知识变得越来越重要。 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的重要工作，以更充分地了解和欣赏地球的地质属性。这一提议将使新的地球科学电视系列节目的第一集得以制作和发行，供公共广播公司和国际广播，并通过流媒体和DVD发行。 将推出一个教育资源配套网站，将该系列的影响扩大到课堂，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本知识。 根据这一项目，将制作一部新的电视连续剧《道格的地质学杂志》（暂定标题），并在公共广播服务网首播。 该系列和一小时纪录片的制片人都是地球图像基金会的道格·普罗斯和黛安·拉马基亚，他们为PBS广播制作了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推广产品，提高公众对地球科学概念、研究和职业的认识和兴趣，以及提供有效的教育资源，以提高K-12教师的地质学教学。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

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.
