IPY: Collaborative Research: Live from the Poles; A Multimedia Educational Experience

该项目汇集了极地研究人员、科学中心和广播媒体记者，向公众、教师和学生讲述了四次极地研究探险的故事。北极和南极的四个探险是根据它们与国家科学基金会定义的三个主要国际极地年研究重点领域的相关性而选择的。一名科学作家和一名专业摄影师/海洋学家将每天在“潜水与发现”网站上进行网络广播，并向波士顿科学博物馆、史密森尼自然历史博物馆、菲尔德博物馆（芝加哥）、休斯顿自然科学博物馆、太平洋科学中心（西雅图）、伯奇水族馆（圣地亚哥）、国家公共广播电台、哥伦比亚广播公司新闻、以及为学术在线写作的学生“记者”。节目也将在加州大学电视台播出。WHOI展览中心的博物馆展览将突出极地研究。它的组成部分将在合作博物馆或在合作博物馆复制。远征材料的照片档案也将被创建并提供给感兴趣的用户。

This project brings together polar researchers, science centers and broadcast media reporters to tell the story of four polar research expeditions to the general public, teachers and students. The four expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic were chosen based on their relevance to the three primary IPY research emphasis areas defined by NSF. A science writer and a professional photographer/oceanographer reporting on each expedition will do daily webcasts on the Dive and Discover web site as well as several scheduled real-time phone patches to audiences at the Museum of Science, Boston, the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, The Field Museum (Chicago), the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Pacific Science Center (Seattle), the Birch Aquarium (San Diego), National Public Radio stations, CBS News, and to student "reporters" writing for Scholastic Online. Programs will also be broadcast on University of California TV. A museum exhibit at the WHOI Exhibit Center will highlight polar research. Components of it will either travel to partner museums or be replicated in the partnering museums. Photo archives of the expeditionary material will also be created and made available to interested users.
