The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is seeking participation from primary investigators working on science projects in geology, geomorphology, climate, and history for a new series, “How Earth Made Us.” According to the BBC, the aim of this follow‐up to the 2007 program “Earth: Power of the Planet” is to reveal the influence of planetary forces (geology, climate, and geomorphology) in shaping human history over the past 10,000 years. The BBC anticipates producing a series focusing on cutting‐edge science and dramatic locations that have been rarely filmed. Program producers are looking for exciting science projects under way in remote or visually stunning parts of the world; major projects or expeditions of a geological/historical nature that will take place over the next 12 months; and/or information on locations that have been rarely documented.
