The eruption of Mauna Loa, Earth’s largest volcano, is an opportunity to greatly increase new information about natural hazards, and how scientists and students learn about volcanoes. By acquiring new footage of the eruption and surroundings, interviews with Native Hawaiian scientists, students, and others, this project hopes to extend the impact of geoscience research, outreach, and education by providing timely and effective media products that are distributed to a wide audience via public television and the internet. The goal is to provide a better understanding geological phenomena and their impact on diverse communities as well as the scientific research and indigenous knowledge of Native Hawaiian scientists.The goal of the project is to work on updating earth science’s fundamental theory of plate tectonics by studying the eruption of the Mauna Loa volcano. By showing the lessons learned and the indigenous knowledge of Native Hawaiian scientists, the knowledge base in the geosciences becomes better informed regarding geological hazards like volcanos, earthquakes, landslides, and floods. Additionally, this project can address the need for diversity in the field by inspiring youth from underrepresented communities to pursue careers in geoscience. The activities and products include filming new footage in Hawaii, incorporating new content into a one-hour documentary film (Planet of the Plates), creating a website that contains a series of short videos and learning materials, and conducting formative and summative evaluation to determine the effectiveness of the products. The video footage and educational content will be formatively evaluated using focus groups and surveys of diverse scientists, educators, and community members. An overall assessment, summative evaluation, of whether the project goals are being achieved will be determined by analyzing viewer data from PBS, the companion website, and the Internet (YouTube channel).This project is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning program, which supports projects committed to: (a) research and practice that illuminates informal STEM learning's role in equity and belonging in STEM; (b) personal and educational success in STEM; (c) advancing public engagement in scientific discovery; (d) fostering interest in STEM careers; (e) creating and enhancing the theoretical and empirical foundations for effective informal STEM learning; (f) improving community vibrancy; and/or (g) enhancing science communication and the public's engagement in and understanding of STEM and STEM processes.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.

地球上最大的火山莫纳罗亚火山的喷发是一个机会，可以大大增加有关自然灾害的新信息，以及科学家和学生如何了解火山。通过获取火山喷发和周围环境的新镜头，采访夏威夷原住民科学家、学生和其他人，该项目希望提供及时有效的媒体产品，通过公共电视和互联网向广大受众分发，从而扩大地球科学研究、推广和教育的影响。目标是更好地了解地质现象及其对不同社区的影响，以及夏威夷原住民科学家的科学研究和本土知识。该项目的目标是通过研究莫纳罗亚火山的喷发来更新地球科学的板块构造基本理论。通过展示夏威夷原住民科学家的经验教训和本土知识，地球科学知识库可以更好地了解火山、地震、山体滑坡和洪水等地质灾害。此外，该项目可以通过激励代表性不足社区的年轻人追求地球科学职业来满足该领域的多样性需求。这些活动和产品包括在夏威夷拍摄新镜头、将新内容融入一小时纪录片《板块星球》、创建包含一系列短视频和学习材料的网站，以及进行形成性和总结性评估以确定产品的有效性。视频片段和教育内容将通过焦点小组和对不同科学家、教育工作者和社区成员的调查进行形成性评估。将通过分析来自 PBS、配套网站和互联网（YouTube 频道）的观众数据来确定项目目标是否实现的总体评估和总结性评估。该项目由推进非正式 STEM 学习计划资助，该计划支持致力于以下项目： (a) 研究和实践，阐明非正式 STEM 学习在 STEM 中公平和归属感中的作用； (b) 在 STEM 方面的个人和教育成功； (c) 促进公众参与科学发现； (d) 培养对 STEM 职业的兴趣； (e) 为有效的非正式 STEM 学习创造和加强理论和经验基础； (f) 提高社区活力； (g) 加强科学传播以及公众对 STEM 和 STEM 流程的参与和理解。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
