Prose0331151Intellectual MeritThis grant lays the groundwork for a project that will integrate cutting-edge international geologic research with the development of innovative multimedia Earth sciences educational resources. The PIs, Doug Prose and Diane LaMacchia of Earth Images Foundation, are carrying out pre-production and production activities for two Earth science documentary videos and a classroom guide and interactive DVD for each. The PIs are collaborating with research scientists, a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) television production director at KQED in San Francisco, and a curriculum specialist to prepare and execute the shooting plan for filming the initial activities of several major scientific programs. Filming will cover the deep drilling to install sensors 4km deep in the San Andreas Fault, to penetrate the Hawaiian shield lava down to pre-existing seafloor, and the recovery of million year old sediments from Lake Malawi. Another effort will capture video from a multidisciplinary geophysical efforts surveying the ancient shield and accretionary arc in Venezuela and the Caribbean basin, and the evolution of the Appennine Mountains in Italy.Borader ImpactsThe PIs are creating a design plan to produce the classroom guides and DVDs; and preparing video treatments that produce videos compelling to both a PBS audience and to students in introductory Earth science classes. The video shooting plan, the educational material design plans, and video treatments are all evaluated by an external evaluator. The final products increase the availability of up-to-date Earth sciences educational materials that formally and informally increase science literacy and encourage young people to enter the Earth sciences as a profession. The DVDs also serve as a prototype for using new multimedia technology to organize and adapt the latest scientific research results into a rich learning experience. The PIs have filmed scientists that serve as role models to under-represented students in Earth sciences: women and minorities.

Prose0331151智力优势这笔赠款为一个项目奠定了基础，该项目将尖端的国际地质研究与创新多媒体地球科学教育资源的开发相结合。 地球图像基金会的 PI 道格·普罗斯 (Doug Prose) 和黛安·拉马基亚 (Diane LaMacchia) 正在为两个地球科学纪录片视频以及每个视频的课堂指南和互动 DVD 进行预制作和制作活动。 PI 正在与研究科学家、旧金山 KQED 的公共广播服务 (PBS) 电视制作总监以及课程专家合作，准备和执行拍摄几个主要科学项目初始活动的拍摄计划。拍摄内容将涵盖在圣安德烈亚斯断层 4 公里深处安装传感器的深钻探、穿透夏威夷盾熔岩直至现有海底，以及从马拉维湖回收百万年前的沉积物。另一项工作将捕获来自多学科地球物理工作的视频，该工作调查委内瑞拉和加勒比海盆地的古代地盾和增生弧，以及意大利亚平宁山脉的演化。Borader Impacts PI 正在制定一个设计计划来制作课堂指南和 DVD；准备视频处理，制作出对 PBS 观众和地球科学入门课程的学生都有吸引力的视频。 视频拍摄方案、教材设计方案、视频处理均由外部评估员进行评估。 最终产品增加了最新地球科学教育材料的可用性，这些材料正式和非正式地提高了科学素养，并鼓励年轻人进入地球科学作为职业。 DVD 还可以作为使用新多媒体技术组织最新科学研究成果并将其转化为丰富学习体验的原型。 PI 拍摄了科学家的视频，为地球科学领域代表性不足的学生（女性和少数族裔）充当榜样。
