A new television series, Doug's Geology Journal, will be produced and premiered on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) network under this project. The series is designed to make geological concepts compelling to a large and diverse television audience. For viewers who want to delve deeper into geology, and for teachers wishing to use the series' content as a teaching aid in the classroom, a series website will be launched with classroom lessons, and additional related video content that instructs students in making their own science video with minimal equipment. Also under this project, a separate one-hour television documentary, Planet of the Plates, about geology's leading theory, plate tectonics, will be produced. This project aims to bring to the attention of the public exciting geologic advancements and the work of a community of geoscientists making new discoveries in challenging settings around the world. This is crucial at a time when knowledge of geological concepts is becoming increasingly important in addressing growing natural resource shortages, climate change, and geologic hazards such as earthquakes, flooding, landslides, and volcanic eruptions. This project addresses the desire of the PBS audience for more geoscience-oriented programming, while highlighting the vital work of a highly diverse groups of scientists to more fully understand and appreciate the Earth's geological attributes. This proposal will enable the production and distribution of the first set of episodes of a new geoscience television series for PBS and international broadcast, as well as distribution via streaming and DVD. A companion website of educational resources that expand the impact of the series to the classroom will be launched, including a training video that instructs users in the basics of making their own video about their own science explorations. A new television series, Doug's Geology Journal (working title) will be produced and premiered on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) network under this project. The producers of both the series and the one-hour documentary are Doug Prose and Diane LaMacchia of Earth Images Foundation, filmmakers who have produced eighteen successful documentaries for PBS broadcast, filmed on location on all seven continents. The primary goals of this project are to produce outreach products that raise public awareness and interest in geoscience concepts, research and careers, as well as to provide effective educational resources to enhance the teaching of geology by K-12 teachers.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.

根据该项目，将制作一部新电视连续剧《道格的地质学杂志》并在公共广播服务 (PBS) 网络上首播。 该系列节目旨在让地质概念吸引大量不同的电视观众。 对于想要深入研究地质学的观众，以及希望在课堂上使用该系列内容作为教学辅助的教师，我们将推出一个系列网站，其中包含课堂课程以及其他相关视频内容，指导学生制作自己的课程用最少的设备拍摄科学视频。 此外，在该项目下，还将制作一部单独的一小时电视纪录片《板块星球》，讲述地质学的领先理论——板块构造学。 该项目旨在让公众关注令人兴奋的地质进展以及地球科学家群体在世界各地充满挑战的环境中取得新发现的工作。 当地质概念知识对于解决日益严重的自然资源短缺、气候变化以及地震、洪水、山体滑坡和火山爆发等地质灾害变得越来越重要时，这一点至关重要。 该项目满足了 PBS 观众对更多以地球科学为导向的节目的愿望，同时强调了高度多样化的科学家群体为更全面地了解和欣赏地球的地质属性所做的重要工作。该提案将使新地球科学电视连续剧的第一集能够在 PBS 和国际广播中制作和发行，并通过流媒体和 DVD 进行发行。 将推出一个教育资源配套网站，将该系列的影响扩大到课堂，其中包括一个培训视频，指导用户制作有关自己的科学探索的视频的基础知识。 根据该项目，将制作一部新的电视连续剧《道格的地质学杂志》（暂定名）并在公共广播服务（PBS）网络上首播。 该系列片和一小时纪录片的制片人是地球图像基金会的 Doug Prose 和 Diane LaMacchia，他们为 PBS 制作了 18 部成功的纪录片，并在七大洲进行了拍摄。 该项目的主要目标是制作推广产品，提高公众对地球科学概念、研究和职业的认识和兴趣，并提供有效的教育资源以加强 K-12 教师的地质学教学。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。
