On April 25, 2015, a devastating M=7.8 earthquake occurred approximately 80 km to the northwest of the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu. At the location of this earthquake the India plate is converging with Eurasia driving the uplift of the Himalayan mountain range. This RAPID award will enable the expansion and updating of a planned television documentary (The Himalaya Connection) about earth science research in Nepal, Bangladesh, India, and Mongolia from a half-hour to a one-hour show, in order to incorporate the Nepal earthquake and the lessons learned for making the region safer from natural hazards.The earthquake?s occurrence provides a rare educational opportunity to increase the impact of new scientific information about earth processes while the disaster remains fresh in the global public consciousness. Using footage of scientists doing field research and related landscape, cultural scenes, and interviews filmed over the past several years under several NSF-funded projects, the producers will build on the opening created by the earthquake and its aftermath to incorporate lessons learned from this event into a deeper understanding of the forces at work and their wider impact on the region, and the scientific research behind this knowledge. Because The Himalaya Connection was already in post production, the film can be revised and completed fairly quickly and distributed soon enough to take advantage of the recent information about Nepal that has been so widespread in the global media. The documentary?s primary audience is television viewers watching PBS in North America; the film will also be distributed for international broadcast. The filmmakers are Doug Prose and Diane LaMacchia of Earth Images Foundation, award-winning producers of earth science television documentaries. Activities under this RAPID project will involve post-production, mastering, and distribution of the documentary.

2015年4月25日，毁灭性的M = 7.8地震发生在尼泊尔首都加德满都西北约80公里。 在这次地震的地点，印度板块与欧亚大陆汇聚，驱动了喜马拉雅山脉的隆升。 这一快速奖励将使计划的电视纪录片（喜马拉雅山联系）扩展和更新有关尼泊尔，孟加拉国，印度和蒙古的地球科学研究的扩展和更新尽管灾难在全球公众意识中仍然是新鲜的。利用从事现场研究和相关景观，文化场景的科学家的镜头以及过去几年在几个由NSF资助的项目下拍摄的访谈，生产商将建立在地震及其后果的基础上，以使从这一事件中学到的经验教训融入对在工作的部队的更深刻理解，以及对该地区的更广泛的影响，并在该知识方面对其进行了更广泛的影响。由于喜马拉雅连接已经在后期制作中，因此可以很快修改和完成这部电影，并很快发行，以利用有关尼泊尔最近在全球媒体中广泛普遍的信息。纪录片的主要观众是电视观众在北美观看PBS的观众。这部电影还将为国际广播发行。电影制片人是地球科学电视纪录片的屡获殊荣的制片人道格·普斯（Doug Prose）和黛安·拉马奇亚（Diane Lamacchia）。这个快速项目下的活动将涉及纪录片的后期制作，掌握和分发。
