Documentary Series

[Whitey Hagadorn <hagadorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hola:

The following posting may be of interest to all of you who are interested in
expressing your excitement about paleontology to the TV-watching general
public!
______________________________________________________________________
Earth Quest is a new half-hour documentary series, being produced for
The Discovery Channel, Canada, by Owl TV (Toronto) and Marathon
Productions (France), about scientists whose discoveries may help us
understand and perhaps better protect our planet.

Earth Quest will follow these researchers as they set out on different
journeys of discovery - whether it be climbing glaciers, hovering over
rain forests or exploring the ocean depths.

Earth Quest is not a doom and gloom environmental series, but one that
exudes wonder, adventure and hope.

We are looking for new and interesting field projects in the natural
sciences or environmental studies that are ongoing or planned for the
next 12 months (until summer 96) within Canada.

The kinds of research projects we would like to film will involve:

an expedition, or team project

using new and innovative technology / techniques

a remote/visually interesting location

gaining new knowledge of a previously little-known subject or area

physical, mental or emotional challenges on the part of the
researchers

cross-disciplinary research studying different aspects of a single
environment or broader context

implications for ecological/environmental concerns

To discuss a planned or ongoing project, or for further information,
please contact:
