As part of its overall strategy to enhance learning in informal environments, the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program funds innovative resources for use in a variety of settings. This project is a time sensitive educational response to the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, 2015 and was followed by major aftershocks. This project builds on the intense worldwide interest in that disaster by developing and distributing media resources for the public and educators explaining the scientific research into tectonic and fluvial processes of this highly vulnerable region encompassing the Himalayas of Nepal, the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Delta of Bangladesh and India, and the mountains of northeastern India. Project deliverables include PBS NewsHour broadcasts and online stories, short videos for classroom use, 3D/2D videos for public screenings in museums, Earth Magazine blogs and articles, and DVDs. Making new research understandable and accessible to the public is an important activity of the U.S. research enterprise. NSF is making a substantial investment in earth sciences research to increase knowledge of the conditions and processes that periodically cause earthquakes, landslides, and flooding. This education project leverages those investments and the public interest in the recent Nepal earthquake with a major public engagement opportunity that has the potential for reaching millions of students, teachers, and the public both in the U.S. and in other vulnerable regions.

作为加强非正式环境中学习的总体战略的一部分，推进非正式 STEM 学习 (AISL) 计划资助在各种环境中使用的创新资源。该项目是针对 2015 年 4 月 25 日袭击尼泊尔并随后发生严重余震的 7.8 级地震而采取的一项时间敏感的教育响应。 该项目以全世界对这场灾难的强烈关注为基础，为公众和教育工作者开发和分发媒体资源，解释对这一高度脆弱地区（包括尼泊尔喜马拉雅山、孟加拉国恒河-雅鲁藏布江三角洲）的构造和河流过程的科学研究和印度，以及印度东北部的山脉。 项目可交付成果包括 PBS NewsHour 广播和在线故事、供课堂使用的短视频、供博物馆公开放映的 3D/2D 视频、地球杂志博客和文章以及 DVD。让公众能够理解和接触到新的研究成果是美国研究企业的一项重要活动。美国国家科学基金会正在对地球科学研究进行大量投资，以增加对周期性引发地震、山体滑坡和洪水的条件和过程的了解。 该教育项目利用了这些投资和最近尼泊尔地震中的公众利益，提供了一个重要的公众参与机会，有可能惠及美国和其他脆弱地区的数百万学生、教师和公众。
