Executive Summary

The Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University, founded in 1949 as the first oceanographic department established at an academic institution, is deeply committed to the unique mission of an AAU member institution with Land-, Sea-, and Space-grant status. With strengthened ties to other marine related units at the College Station and Galveston campuses, and significant investments from the University, we are poised to realize our strategic vision to join the nation’s top rank of institutions for oceanographic research and education at public universities. As part of our 2014 strategic planning effort, we have restructured our departmental educational, research and engagement activities into four interdisciplinary areas of strength: Ocean Observing Science and Technology, Marine Ecosystems Science and Health, Ocean Climate, and Ocean Energy. Observations, in a very broad sense, form the baseline for all of our strategic interdisciplinary themes, and are at the core of our vision to transform STEM education through a focus on big data competency. To this end we are innovating a series of new degree programs designed to 1) integrate disciplinary training within the College of Geosciences, 2) build bridges to STEM programs throughout the University, 3) recruit more students to our undergraduate and graduate programs, and 4) meet the demands of an evolving workforce. Accomplishing these goals is central to our strategic vision to elevate the scholarly reputation of the department, because our operating resources are directly tied to our impact on the University’s education mission.

Professor and Department Head

Chapter 1. Introduction to TAMU and TAMU Oceanography

1.1 Texas A&M University Texas A&M University (TAMU) was the first public college in Texas. Established in 1876, it is now among the largest institutions of higher learning in the nation, with a student body of about 64,600 (undergraduates and graduates on all campuses, with 59,129 on the College Station campus alone). The University offers degrees in 139 undergraduate and 268 graduate courses of study. TAMU is a member of the Associate of American Universities (AAU), while also holding the rare distinction of serving as a land-, sea- and space-grant institution. TAMU’s 3,500 faculty conduct more than $850 million worth of sponsored research projects, assisted by about 15,000 graduate and professional students. Yet as is evident from our mission statement, the University is committed to preserving the legacy of Morrill Act under which we were founded:

Texas A&M University is dedicated to the discovery, development, communication, and application of knowledge in a wide range of academic and professional fields. Its mission of providing the highest quality undergraduate and graduate programs is inseparable from its mission of developing new understandings through research and creativity. It prepares students to assume roles in leadership, responsibility and service to society. Texas A&M assumes as its historic trust the maintenance of freedom of inquiry and an intellectual environment nurturing the human mind and spirit. It welcomes and seeks to serve persons of all racial,

ethnic and geographic groups as it addresses the needs of an increasingly diverse population and a global economy. In the 21st century, Texas A&M University seeks to assume a place of preeminence among public universities while respecting its history and traditions.

1.2 TAMU Oceanography and Closely Aligned Ocean Science Units at TAMUThe Department of Oceanography at TAMU was established in 1949 under the auspices of the University Land Grant mission to assist the State with emerging challenges in

the Gulf of Mexico dealing with oyster diseases, coastal disasters, and oil platform and pipeline design. Beginning with four professors, the Department of Oceanography at TAMU became the first university department of oceanography in the country. The Department added meteorology to its program early in the 1950s and officially became the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology. In 1966 the Department of Meteorology was established as a separate department in the new College of Geoscience (now comprised of the four departments Geology and Geophysics, Geography, Atmospheric Sciences, and Oceanography). The Texas Sea Grant College Program was added to the College of Geosciences in 1966. Ocean engineering studies also initially were taught in the Department of Oceanography, but that discipline ultimately developed into a separate program in the Department of Civil Engineering at TAMU, and now as a new Department of Ocean Engineering.

From its inception, the Department of Oceanography has maintained significant research programs in Galveston. In 1952 the Marine Laboratory at Galveston was created to support oceanography and biological research, and the Texas Maritime Academy began operations at Galveston in 1962. The institution became the Texas A&M University at Galveston in 1979 and began offering Bachelor of Science degrees through the Departments of Marine Biology and Marine Science. The Texas A&M University Galveston Campus, as it is

now officially titled, is a vibrant and growing special-purpose institution that fully integrates marine and maritime studies into all of its degree programs, and is among the nations leaders in conferring bachelors degrees in the marine affairs and marine science. Currently, thirteen faculty in the Departments of Marine Sciences and Marine Biology at TAMUG have Joint Appointment or Graduate Faculty affiliations in Oceanography and support the Oceanography graduate programs through student advising, mentoring, and funding.

The Department’s first research vessel (R/V) was the sailing ship R/V Jakkula. In the mid-1950s, it was replaced by the R/V Hidalgo, a converted mine sweeper, and in the early 1960s a second naval vessel was completely converted and renamed the R/V Alaminos. The intermediate class R/V Gyre was built in 1973 and was sold in December 2005. The Department is presently working to acquire access to another ship on a regular basis.

The Department of Oceanography is closely aligned with the Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (GERG). GERG was founded in 1981 as a center of excellence in applied geosciences within the College of Geosciences. GERG is organized as three interrelated groups that provide field acquisition, analyses, and interpretation of data across several interlocking themes in environmental sciences, ocean sciences, and resource geosciences. Staff and partners include geologists, inorganic and organic geochemists, analytical and

1-7

contaminant chemists, biological, chemical, geological, and physical oceanographers, biologists, ecologists, and toxicologists.

In 1983 Texas A&M was awarded the contract to host the operations of the Ocean Drilling Program and the Gulf Coast Repository core storage and research facility. In 2003, we successfully competed to retain the U.S. component of the first phase of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program. TAMU secured the bid to again retain the science operator distinction for the second phase, the International Ocean Discovery Program, in 2013.

TAMU was one of the first Sea Grant Institutions established through the National Sea Grant College and Program Act of 1966. Texas Sea Grant is part of a national network of Sea Grant programs in coastal and Great Lakes states, funded by NOAA in partnership with the states to help connect the research conducted at Sea Grant Institutions with the public. Texas Sea Grant unites the resources of the federal government, the State of Texas, local governments, industry and universities across the state. Sea Grant is NOAA’s primary university based program, dedicated to helping citizens use scientific information to support a vibrant economy while ensuring ecological sustainability.

TAMU hosts the office of the Gulf Coast Ocean Observing System (GCOOS), one of eleven networks forming the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System conceived to serve a broad range of societal needs. GCOOS

represents the five gulf coast states, and hosts the data of numerous TAMU Oceanography observing systems, including the Imaging Flow Cytobot, the TABS buoys, the glider fleet, and the forecast surface currents ROMS current model.

2.1 VisionTo join the nation’s top rank of institutions for oceanographic research and education at public universities by uniting the critical mass of energetic and talented ocean scientists and educators at Sea Grant, GERG, IODP, TAMU Galveston, and TAMU College Station.

2.2 Mission StatementTo advance discovery and understanding of the ocean sciences, technology and resources. To prepare the next generation of ocean scientists and citizens in general for the challenges facing a growing human population with limited resources.

2.3 ValuesThe department embraces the role of a public university in improving the lives of Texans and fosters a culture of scholarly excellence, diversity, and a nurturing workplace environment.

2.4 GoalsOur goals, action plans and challenges

are detailed in the accompanying strategic plan implemented in 2014. Below we highlight the three primary, general goals that guide our short and longer term planning.

• Elevate the scholarly reputation of the department. Enhancing the scholarly reputation of the department is crucial to addressing the critical issues of recruitment, diversification and retention of faculty and staff. Excellence perpetuates excellence, and we are striving to create a culture of trust, teamwork and excellence in which collaboration occurs organically.

• Double the enrollment in Oceanography and Ocean Sciences degree programs in the next five years. Our operating resources are directly tied to our impact on the University’s education mission. This ultimately controls our ability to elevate the scholarly reputation of the department.

• Enhance the impact of our service course offerings in both quality and in the number of

non-geoscience Aggies that we educate. We are taking steps to contribute to the College’s vision of making the Geosciences the most relevant discipline of the 21st century

through our introductory lecture and lab course offerings as well as the new OCNG 600 oceanography for educators course.

• GERG Reinvestment ($1.45M from the VPR, with significant contributions from the Department and College) Beginning in 2012, the Department of Oceanography, the College of Geosciences, and the Vice President for Research committed to a multi-year reinvestment in GERG’s analytical, human and built

environment resources. This initiative led to the expansion of the initial Slocum glider fleet and construction of the glider facility, among other facilities enhancements. This reinvestment gave rise to the SmartGulf vision – a holistic approach to ocean observations that consists of a network of sensors, radars, buoys, glider fleet, and AUVs that

Chapter 3. Evolution of the Department of Oceanography Since 2008

3.1. Recent New TAMU and TAMUS Investments in OceanographyGERG and the Department of Oceanography, with strong support from the College, have received more than $9M from TAMU and the Texas A&M System for compelling regional and international interdisciplinary initiatives. While most of these financial resources are allocated directly to GERG, the Department of Oceanography benefits directly and indirectly through research and educational access to the state of the art observational capacity. Furthermore these investments add a new dimension to our high impact educational offerings. The Department therefore shares the responsibility for translating these investments in infrastructure into impactful research and educational opportunities that benefit the University and State. The recently funded NSF-Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU): Observing the Ocean is just one example of the transformative educational potential of the OCNG/GERG partnership (http://ocean.tamu.edu/academics/reu/index.html).

3-12

build on existing infrastructure to collect, integrate, and interpret oceanographic, atmospheric, chemical and biological data in real and near-time. This observational capacity is complemented by numerical simulations that add a synoptic dimension to the network. Once established as the initial test-bed, the SmartGulf observing strategy can be exported to any coastal region.

• Chancellor’s Research Initiative ($4.5M from the Chancellor/TAMUS) In 2014 GERG/OCNG were awarded a Chancellor’s Research Initiative grant associated with a Presidential Faculty Hire in the Environmental “Grand Challenge” theme (Gerardo Gold-Bouchot). This award provided the funds to purchase the SeaSonde coastal high-frequency radars, additional gliders, and to design, build, and install the ferry box flow through instrumentation described below in 6.1.2.

• Texas A&M – Haifa University Eastern Mediterranean

Observatory ($3.05M from TAMU) On December 14, 2015, TAMU and the University of Haifa signed a memorandum of agreement to establish university level collaborations in research and education. The first project associated with this partnership is to establish the Texas A&M – Haifa University Eastern Mediterranean Observatory (THEMO), consisting of two moorings that will provide for the first time critical continuous observations in the eastern Mediterranean to add to the international observing array. This represents the first translation of the SmartGulf concept to another societally critical body of water. We are building on this partnership by creating a college-level dual degree PhD program, to be implemented January 2017, pending the required approvals.

• IODP Faculty Lines ($0.5M from TAMU) As part of the University’s deepening commitment to the International Ocean Discovery Program, four new faculty lines for scholars engaged in drilling science were allocated to the College of Geosciences. Two faculty members were hired in OCNG (Jason Sylvan, Yige Zhang) with significant start-up contributions from the Provost as part of this initiative.

3.2. Internal Improvements Through Strategic Planning The collection of Ocean Sciences

3-13

centers at SeaGrant, GERG, IODP, TAMU - Galveston, and TAMU – College Station represents a truly unique concentration of interdisciplinary research and education capacity. Our goal is to function as a true team with highly complementary human and infrastructure resources, providing us with the capacity to rival any other institution. To this end, the Department of Oceanography has taken the lead in aligning the individual units as the ‘Ocean Science Alliance.’ These efforts over the past two years are beginning to reap significant dividends in educational and research collaborations, and provide a brilliant example of how similar and broader scaled-up efforts across the units, colleges, and campuses of TAMU can affect the vision of TAMU as a nationwide leader in incubating innovative inter- and multi-disciplinary education and scholarship.One immediate benefit of strategic planning in the context of the collective resources of the Ocean Science Alliance was to identify the mutual strengths that cross-cut the individual units: • Ocean Observing Science and

Technology• Marine Ecosystems Science and

Health• Ocean Climate• Ocean Energy

The Department of Oceanography embraced these strengths to the point of eliminating our historical structuring along “sections” (i.e., the traditional geological, chemical, biological, and

physical branches of oceanography). This restructuring had the immediate effect of transforming our approach to research and education. Below we highlight one profound example of the benefit to our research enterprise - a true interdisciplinary Ocean Observing research and education partnership between Oceanography and GERG. Observations, in a very broad sense, form the baseline for all of our strategic interdisciplinary themes, and are most powerful when interpreted within the context of numerical simulations. We are only beginning to realize the potential of the OCNG/GERG partnership and the way it can revolutionize support for and analysis of the data obtained from the moorings, gliders, high frequency coastal radars (awaiting installation), and a growing array of chemical and biological sensors. To this end, we invested the remaining $287,000 from the sale of the R/V Gyre to procure 1) Glider enhancements to expand the depth and density range of operation; 2) non-standard (interdisciplinary) instrument systems for moored applications such as dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, pCO2, and fluorometry; and 3) a flow-through instrumentation system that includes a SeaBird SBE45 (conductivity, temp and salinity), environmental characterization optics (ECO) sensors (flourometer and backscatter sensor), and a meteorological package mounted on the R/V Manta to exploit repeat transits between Galveston and the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary.The growing observational capacity

3-14

through SmartGulf and our international initiatives provides the opportunity to transform STEM education through a focus on big data literacy. The Department of Oceanography constructed the Robert O. Reid Ocean Observing Educational Facility in the O&M Building to bring the observations to our students for collaborative classroom instruction and teaching through research. Our new interdisciplinary educational programs in part emphasize experiential learning and applied methods mastery using the state of the art instrumentation operated by GERG team members, and this allows us to immediately apply the TAMU/TAMUS investments for the benefit of the State. The recognition that ocean observing science is intricately related to the technological advancement required to improve communications, batteries, anti-biofouling, sensors, and propulsion has led to an intensive effort, facilitated tremendously by the College, to establish a highly collaborative partnership with Engineering (Ocean, Civil, Aerospace, Biomedical, Materials Science, Electrical, the Energy Institute, among others). At the same time we realize that ocean observing is merely one component of the Earth system, and we continue to deepen research and education collaborations within the College of Geosciences drawing from partnerships with Geography, Atmospheric Sciences, and Geology & Geophysics.

3.3 Response to the Improvements

Promoted by the 2008 APRBelow we list a bulleted summary of the recommendations from the 2008 External Review Team, and briefly highlight our associated activity in bold text. We also detail more extensively in subsequent sections our completely overhauled program to assess the effectiveness of how we achieve our student learning outcomes, the creation of innovative graduate degree and fast-track degree programs, and a proposal to partner with our TAMUG Marine Sciences teammates to offer the Marine Sciences Bachelor of Science degree to students in College Station. The underlying goal of all these activities is to broaden and deepen our impact on the Ocean Sciences, locally, nationally, and internationally.• A need for a strategic vision,

mission and plan to serve as an active guide for planning and hiring. Specific suggestions for strategic initiatives included continuing to develop a strong, interactive relationship with IODP, taking advantage of international partnerships, and engaging more deeply with GERG and existing observational capabilities. We have a strong strategic plan and documented above our efforts to engage in a true ocean observing partnership with GERG, IODP and international partners.

• The Review Team recommended leading a coalition of institutions to pursue a regional class research

3-15

vessel to support both the research and educational missions of the Department.We currently are pursuing collaborations to compete for one of the new regional class research vessels.

• Recommendations for enhancing our undergraduate teaching mission focused on increasing participation in the Environmental Geosciences major, citing “the trend in higher education is for more integration within geosciences rather than for discipline-specific majors.” We have deepened our contributions to the Environmental Programs, with 11 Oceanography faculty teaching GEOS courses required in the Environmental Program majors. Dr. Richardson has provided $520,000 in scholarships through her “Geoscience Scholars” NSF S-STEM award over the last six years to 92 academically talented Geoscience undergraduates.

At the same time, given the advances in ocean observing platforms, and our department and university ocean observing initiatives, we believe that a STEM-rigorous interdisciplinary degree in the Marine Sciences with an ocean observing focus is tremendously valuable. To this end we are partnering with our colleagues at TAMUG in a proposal

to offer the Marine Sciences BS to students in College Station.

• Implement a consistent process of appointing Research Professors. We are creating a culture that eliminates the perception that Research Professors outrank Research Scientists and are taking steps to consistently appoint personnel based on position description rather than the idea that one track is more prestigious than another. This involves identifying permanent funds for the educational portion of a Research Professor’s salary.

• Engage more meaningfully in the Marine Biology interdisciplinary PhD program.We recognize that a truly successful Ocean Science Alliance must have a vibrant Marine Biology graduate program and that we must support the program deeply and meaningfully with more course accessibility and by including the MARB IDP students in OCNG

3-16

related graduate functions.

• IT requirements need to improve for graduate students. This includes the lack of an effective video conferencing and teaching link to Galveston. The College centralized IT services and has agreed to take responsibility for video conferencing capabilities. We are continually pressing for progress on these fronts, but the university-wide adoption of Blackboard Collaborate represents a significant improvement over the TTVN system and our faculty are beginning to embrace this option in a variety of courses.

• Core course instruction needs to be better coordinated to reduce redundancy that should be reduced and to teach core courses (e.g. biological oceanography) at a sufficiently challenging level. A highly successful Ocean Science Alliance retreat in April 2013

led to numerous curricular improvements, including improved instruction through the core courses. Students do need to recognize, however, that these courses are inherently interdisciplinary and much of the perceived redundancy is important to train our students to become interdisciplinary problem solvers.

• Recommended identifying ways to attract more highly qualified Ph.D. students and to increase retention and graduation rates. They highlighted the dual degree program with OUC as a way to substantially increase numbers. Our innovative national recruiting efforts lead within our College – we routinely send talented representatives to SACNAS, the major disciplinary meetings, and the Big Ten recruiting conference. Furthermore our efforts to deepen and broaden participation extend to a newly funded NSF REU

3-17

program (begins Summer 2016). However, our international partnerships should not be viewed as ways to substantially increase our numbers – these provide 1-2 students per year currently.

• Ensure that students receiving competitive external scholarships or fellowships are not disadvantaged by policies regarding tuition, fees, and insurance coverage. We have competitive internal scholarships that provide students with opportunities to receive in-state tuition that help us overcome a few of the hurdles but we are still working to identify ways to streamline student support when they successfully compete for major external fellowships. One immediate strategy we now implement is to augment the stipend award for the College Merit Fellowship to include sufficient additional funds to pay for the student health care plan.

Furthermore, Dr. Gardner and Dr. Richardson have been able to award 42 OCNG graduate students $610,000 in scholarships and travel grants through their two 5-year NSF S-STEM program. $470,000 additional funds will be awarded to OCNG graduate students over the next four years.

• Provide much better graduate student professional development that includes directed career counseling. Through graduate student feedback, we continue to strive to find ways to provide career and professional development counseling beyond the individual student-advisor relationship. We have several innovative “learning community” type ideas that we seek to implement to provide our students additional access to career counseling, opportunities to improve communication skills and a more solid sense of scholarly

community within the department.

• Improve graduate stipends to make offers more competitive. In 2012 we increased teaching assistant stipends for students in College Station from $1650/month (MS students) and $1750/month (PhD students) to $2000. The TAMUG administration is taking steps to achieve parity in stipends for students with teaching assistantships through Marine Sciences and Marine Biology.

• Provide graduate students an opportunity to present the results of their research to the faculty and receiving feedback at a regular departmental seminar course. This now occurs through the new Communicating Ocean Sciences course and through numerous other opportunities (College and University student research symposia, scholarship learning communities, S-STEM lunch seminars, etc).

• Appoint a faculty member to oversee the curriculum, course scheduling, admissions process and graduate student affairs and provide compensation for the duties. Since 2012 this has become the primary duty of the Assistant Department Head, who receives 6 weeks of compensation for these heroic duties.

• Create and implement a viable and meaningful assessment program. Through a college led initiative, we now have a highly functional and meaningful assessment program and have made several notable curricular improvements that were directly informed by our assessment data, notably the implementation of a Communicating Ocean Sciences course requirement and the gift of Dr. Patricia Goodson’s Becoming an Academic Writer to all incoming graduate students.

instructional, and research professors, as well as some of the joint appointed faculty, are included in Appendix 2

4.2.1 Business, Office, and Advising StaffOceanography has a dedicated business staff of four, led by the Business Administrator. The College of Geosciences centralized business functions approximately two years ago, and now the business team reports

to the Assistant Dean of Finance and not the Department Head. The Oceanography Business team is responsible for all accounts payable and payment card transactions for the College (other departmental teams handle human resources and payroll, scholarship accounting, and travel and international support). In addition to these duties, the Business staff assist in the operations of the department. The Oceanography Lead Office

4-22

Assistant assists office operations and business functions. The Department shares an Academic Advisor with the Department of Geology and Geophysics, and the advisor reports to the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Affairs and not to the department head.

4.2.2 Research Assistants and AssociatesResearch Assistants and Associates support the Departmental research mission through both scientific and administrative efforts. The Department employs five team members in this capacity.

4.2.3 Research ScientistsThe highly interdisciplinary Research Scientist team in the Department of Oceanography is critical to our research mission, and consists of talented scholars at the Assistant, Associate and Full Research Scientist Rank who dedicate all of their time and effort to the research enterprise. Promotion through the ranks is based on rigorous assessment of research impact, productivity and leadership. Financial support is derived entirely through contract and grant support. Currently, eight Research Scientists spanning all three ranks are on the

Oceanography team, and contribute to our educational mission through exceptional graduate mentoring and occasional (compensated) classroom teaching.

4.2.4 Research ProfessorsResearch Professors consistently contribute directly to the educational mission, typically the equivalent of one course per semester (~25% time and effort) for which there is departmental financial support. With the voluntary and limited, education role, Research Professors form part of the Academic Professional Track (APT) at TAMU. For Research Professors, the remainder of the salary is raised through research funds. The Department considers the distinction between the Research Scientist and Research Professor tracks merely one of position description, not rank or prestige. Currently, two Oceanography team members are appointed in the Research Professor track. Our Oceanography Research Professors are dedicated graduate advisors with a strong record of funding and mentoring students in Oceanography and the Marine Biology Interdisciplinary PhD Program.

4.2.5 Instructional ProfessorsThe Instructional Academic Professional Track at TAMU distinguishes those team members who contribute primarily to the education and engagement missions of the department and college. Our single Instructional Assistant Professor contributes to the overall pedagogical enhancement of our course offerings, in addition to classroom instruction.

4-23

4.2.6 Tenure Track/Tenured FacultyMembers of the tenure track and tenured faculty in the Department of Oceanography reside in both College Station and Galveston and have several types of affiliation. The ad-loc faculty are those hired by the Department of Oceanography and paid entirely with departmental Education and General funds. Oceanography has 22 ad-loc faculty (referred to as the “core faculty” by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board), two of whom serve as full time administrators and thus do not teach. Joint Appointed faculty (all non-salaried) contribute significantly to Oceanography as their host department, primarily through graduate student mentoring and service on key Oceanography committees. Our 14 Joint Appointed faculty reside in the home departments of Marine Sciences (TAMUG), Marine Biology (TAMUG), Atmospheric Sciences, Geology & Geophysics, and Civil Engineering.We also affiliate faculty from other units (MARS, MARB, and Geography currently) as members of the Oceanography Graduate Faculty, and these four faculty provide our graduate students with unique access to interdisciplinary mentoring and research that complements the expertise represented by our ad-loc and joint appointed faculty.

4.3 Standing Committee Structure – 2015/2016

The Department Head, in consultation with the Assistant Department Head, crafts committee membership. The goal is to place faculty in service roles that best match individuals’ skill sets and preferences, as well as to maximize synergies with research and teaching efforts (to the extent this is possible). Committee assignments reflect a departmental culture to enhance professional development for all faculty in terms of both service load and service assignments. Committee assignments rotate, and service loads for individual faculty wax and wane depending on other contributions, so it is important to note that this list only reflects the current committee composition and structure. Many individual faculty members have contributed heavily to departmental service over the past seven years through chairing the major committees and these efforts have markedly improved committee contributions – a notable example is the banner recruiting year under the newly constituted Recruiting and Admissions Committee (chaired by Achim Stoessel in 2012/2013).

4.3.1 Curriculum Committee: S. Yvon-Lewis, chair; A. Dawson (Academic Advisor); D. Biggs; G. Gold-Bouchot; J. Fitzsimmons; C. Wiederwohl; A. OrsiThe Committee’s goals are to strategically plan for the growth of all of our programs in creating new degree programs and identifying which course offerings need to be created or revised to best meet the needs of all our students. Note that the committee will scrutinize all future new course

4-24

proposals to ensure that these are strategic.

4.3.2 Recruiting and Admissions Committee: C. Wiederwhol, standing chair; M. Richardson; K. Shamberger; G. Gold-Bouchot; A. Anis; J. Dudding (Business Administrator); A. Dawson (Academic Advisor)The charges of this committee are 1) to strategically and actively recruit nationally and internationally throughout the calendar year, and 2) to evaluate applicants for admissions for all of our graduate programs (3+2s, nonthesis, and thesis programs).

4.3.3 Tenure and Promotion Committee: R. Hetland (Chair, college rep); P. Chapman; A. Knap; G. Gold-BouchotThe Tenure and Promotion Committee coordinates all departmental tenure and promotion processes, including 3-year reviews and any post-tenure reviews. The committee also conducts annual performance evaluations in parallel with the Department Head. Requests for graduate faculty, joint appointments, and adjunct status are vetted through the committee.

4.3.4 Ship Committee: P. Chapman (co-chair); A. Knap (co-chair); W. Gardner; M. Tominaga; N. SloweyThe Ship Committee leads departmental efforts to respond to the impending UNOLS RCRV request for proposals, as well as identify potential development targets for other vessel opportunities.

4.3.5 Strategic Planning

Committee: D. Thomas (Chair); S. DiMarco; B. Giese; D. Brooks; N. SloweyThe strategic plan is a living document and this committee continuously evaluates our goals and progress, identifying ways in which to remain nimble in our efforts to fulfill our vision and achieve our mission. For Fall 2015 this committee was charged with drafting the initial Self-study document for the 2016 APR.

4.3.6 IT Committee: P. Chang (Chair); A. Stössel; M. HowardThe IT Committee serves as the connection between the department and the College IT Team. The IT Committee also will serve as the department’s representation in College High Performance Computing initiatives. The IT Committee will proactively identify research and educational IT needs/problems and actively engage with Paul Stine to fill the needs and solve the problems.

4.3.7 Advisory Committee: D. Thomas (Chair); R. Hetland; S. Yvon-Lewis; P. Chang; C. Wiederwohl; P. Plotkin; R. Amon; A. Knap This committee consists of the chairs of the standing committees, a representative from our Galveston team, the SeaGrant Director, the GERG Director, the Assistant Department Head, and the Business Administrator. The DH engages the Advisory Committee to strategically advance our Ocean Sciences Alliance, and as needed for other departmental issues.

Chapter 5. Departmental Resources

5.1 Facilities5.1.1 OCNG controlled classrooms

The department maintains and controls four small classrooms (<40 seats), including the new Robert O. Reid Ocean Observing Educational Facility. The ROR room comprises an 8-panel Tilex video wall with collaborative seating to promote the teaching through research mission, and the inner room is a state-of-the-art teaching through technology space designed for complete flexibility and collaborative education.

5.1.2 Ocean Observing infrastructure and Oceanographic Resources at GERGGERG and the Department of Oceanography have established an equipment base for oceanic and coastal marine research including sample collection and analyses capabilities. GERG’s analytical capacity includes two Dionex Accelerated Solvent Extractors (ASE). A multitude of gas chromatographic detectors are available including flame ionization, electron capture, mass spectrometers and a high resolution mass spectrometer. GERG’s organic analyses are provided by 6 gas chromatograph with mass spectrometer (GC-MS) detectors, 1 dual-channel gas chromatographs with two electron capture (GC-ECD) detectors, 2 gas chromatographs with micro-electron capture (GC-uECD) detector, 4 gas

chromatographs with flame ionization detectors (GC-FID). GERG has a GC with a high resolution mass spectrometers (GC-HRMS) for the analysis of dioxin/furan and dioxin-like PCBs. For other trace organic analyses, GERG has 2 high performance liquid chromatographs (HPLC), 1 HPLC coupled to a mass spectrometer (HPLC-MS), and a LC-MS/MS. GERG has a six channel Astoria analyzer for nutrient analyses and 3 automated oxygen titrators. GERG can perform salinity analyses on either a Guildline Autosal 8400B or 8400A. GERG’s trace metal laboratory has 2 forced air hoods and 1 perchloric acid hood housed in an isolated controlled access area where samples are digested. The laboratory has a PerkinElmer cold vapor mercury atomic absorption spectroscopy (CVAAS) system. Since 1995, GERG has designed,

5-26

deployed, operated, and maintained the Texas Automated Buoy System (TABS). The buoy operations have a dedicated facility of more than 5000 sq. ft. of air-conditioned space for buoy maintenance, construction, construction, and repair. The facility includes space for electronic, computer, and sensor maintenance and calibration. There is additional concreted apron space for buoy storage and servicing and a dedicated machine and welding shop.Currently, TAMU owns and operates four Teledyne Webb Research (TWR) Slocum G2 Ocean Gliders and two autonomous surface vehicles. The gliders are rated for operations in depths of up to 200 m; one glider (S/N 199) rated to 1000 m is owned by TAMU-Galveston and is operated by GERG. All gliders are currently equipped with SeaBird CTD (designed for glider application), ECO-PUC fluorometer, and RINKO fast response dissolved oxygen sensor. GERG also has several buoyancy pumps to efficiently task G-2 gliders with shallow (fresh) or deep (salty) missions. We

also own two autonomous surface vehicles: the Autonaut and the Wave Glider. The Autonaut, (MOST, Inc.; http://www.autonautusv.com), harvests energy from waves for propulsion, but it makes use of a combination of solar energy and methanol fuel cells for system power and is equipped with conductivity, temperature, and ADCP for measuring underway current profiles, a Wetlabs ECO FLNTU for measuring turbidity and chlorophyll. The Liquid Robotics (http://www.liquidr.com) surface SV3 Wave Glider is equipped with a flow through system for measuring waves, pH, CO2, water temperature, conductivity, CDOM, chlorophyll and turbidity. Like the Autonaut, the Wave Glider uses surface gravity waves for propulsion. Both surface vehicles also collect wind speed and direction, air temperature and barometric pressure. The air-conditioned 1250 square-foot dedicated glider facility for servicing, preparing and testing autonomous underwater vehicles is maintained by two full time glider pilot/technicians. The lab is equipped with a gantry system to help move gliders in and out of two salt water test tanks (900 and 2244 gallons) used for ballasting and testing the underwater gliders.GERG/Oceanography are installing coastal ocean SeaSonde stations from the US-Mexico border to the Texas state border with Louisiana. The SeaSondes (manufactured by CODAR Systems) will provide real-time and continuous surface current mapping and wave monitoring with ranges of up to 200 km from the coast. The observations will supplement the in

5-27

situ observations of the TABS network and produce accurate two-dimensional maps with 0.5 to 3 km resolution within the system footprint. TAMU is designing, constructing, and preparing to deploy autonomous ship-based systems to be placed on volunteer ships-of-opportunity (ferry-boxes). Typical ferry-boxes use a ship flow-through system and provide observations of temperature, salinity, and fluorescence along ship tracks. Advanced systems can be configured to provide water quality, biological information, current velocity, meteorological parameters, and chemical contaminants. All ferry-box systems telemeter data to a shore-based receiving station where data are processes and disseminated to interested parties. Furthermore, we purchased a flow-through system that is mounted on the R/V Manta, operated by the NOAA Marine Sanctuaries Program to serve the Flower Gardens Bank, and this array of instruments is beginning to yield observations along the Manta ship track to complement the suite of observing instrumentation.

5.1.3 R. Ken Williams ’45 Radiogenic Isotope Geosciences LaboratoryThe College of Geosciences’ R. Ken Williams ‘45 Radiogenic Isotope Geosciences Laboratory contains Class 100 and 1000 clean chemistry laboratories, a mass spectrometry lab and a sample preparation lab (2600 square feet). The clean laboratories are designed for low-blank (contamination free) chemical preparation of samples

for U, Th, Pb, Sm-Nd, Re-Os and Sr isotopic analyses. The mass spectrometry lab houses a Thermo Scientific Triton thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS) and a Thermo Scientific Element XR high-resolution, inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer (HR-ICP-MS) with a laser ablation system.

5.1.4 Stable Isotope Geosciences FacilityThe College of Geosciences hosts the Stable Isotope Geosciences Facility which is supported in part by the Department of Oceanography. Located in the Eller O&M Building, SIGF currently consists of two instrument laboratories, two sample preparation laboratories, and a facilities manager’s

5-28

office. Current instrumentation within SIGF consists of two light stable isotope ratio mass spectrometers (IRMSs) and six peripherals with the capabilities of performing high precision H, C, N, and O analyses on carbonates, sediments, waters, and organic material. The present configuration includes a ThermoFinnigan MAT253 with a Kiel IV for carbonate mineral analyses, and a ThermoFinnigan Delta Plus XP with an EA, TCEA, and a Gas Bench II for analyses of bulk organic matter, water and carbonate samples. SIGF also has a Picarro L2130i Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy H2O isotopes analyzer capable of high precision liquid and vapor analyses in both laboratory and field environments.

5.1.5 High Performance Research Computing General supercomputing resources available at Texas A&M include the 1) ada, our IBM NeXtScale cluster that runs Linux on nodes with the Intel Xeon and Westmere processors. There are also 33 nodes with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs and 103 nodes with Intel PHIs. This is currently our main

computational resource; 2) Eos, our IBM iDataplex cluster that runs Linux on nodes with the Intel Nehalem and Westmere processors. There are also 4 nodes with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs. The center also houses several Linux workstations for pre- and post-processing needs and a disk based storage archive for backing up files that are produced or used with the center’s resources. All the specific details about the High Performance Research Computing center can be found at http://sc.tamu.edu/systems/#ada.

5.1.6 Individual PI labsIndividual faculty have specialized facilities within the O&M Building and at GERG. Notable additions to the suite of laboratory capacity are the construction of two class 100 clean labs for Dr. Fitzsimmons and Dr. Sylvan (underway) and the renovations of the new organic geochemistry facility for incoming Assistant Professor Dr. Zhang.

5.2 Financial Resources Department financial resources derive from state funds (Education and General, and Operations), external grants and contracts, and development funds. Figure 5-1 details the trends in these main sources of departmental funds between 2008-2015. It is important to note that our Education and General (essentially faculty and staff salaries) and our Operations budgets are determined by student enrollment. A combination of number of majors, number of graduates, number of student credit hours, and number of weighted student credit

5-29

hours determines the funding we receive from the University (through the College). The overall decrease in the Education and General funds directly reflects the contraction of our tenured/tenure track faculty numbers from 30 to 22 since 2008. In spite of the contraction of our tenured/tenure track faculty, both our external funding and our operations budget have increased indicating strengthening research and teaching contributions.The Department also receives funds from the University to support graduate studetns, independent of the Operations budget. Figure 5-2 indicates the primary internal funding streams for graduate students. The Graduate Strategic Support line was created in 2012 by the Office of Graduate and Professional Students, to support strategic initiatives for recruiting and retention of excellent students. Graduate Student Teaching and Tuition support are allocated by the College based on enrollment in courses designated as “labs” that require Teaching Assistant support (the manner in which these funds changed significantly between 2010 and 2011). Graduate Scholarship and Fellowship funds reflect a combination of endowed funds and competitive University level awards.

Chapter 6. Contributions to University Research and Educational Excellence

6.1 Alignment of Department strategic goals with institutional goalsWe seek to lead the nation in interdisciplinary ocean science education and research, and achieving this ambitious goal will directly support TAMU’s mission. As an Oceanography Department, we are inherently interdisciplinary, thus positioning us to help lead the university in its strategic pursuit to raze the academic “silos” and operate as an intensively and broadly interdisciplinary institution. Our recent innovations within the Department of Oceanography represent a unit-level vision of what the university seeks to become: a true incubator of organically innovative inter- and multi-disciplinary education and scholarship. During this ambitious final segment of the long term university strategic plan known as Vision 2020, TAMU seeks: to provide an outstanding educational experience for all students, to produce impactful new knowledge, innovations, and creative works, and to place the needs of the public good at the forefront of our mission. The Department’s goals to enhance the impact of our scholarship and to enhance the impact of our educational activities (in both depth and breadth) contribute directly and explicitly to the advancement of Texas A&M University, while at the same time serving the citizens of Texas through the dedicated observing network of the Gulf coast – the SmartGulf vision.

6.2 Research Personnel ContributionsIt is absolutely critical to recognize the

heroic contributions of the Research Personnel to the scholarly reputation of the Department. The Department

6-32

of Oceanography boasts an amazing team of early career Scientists who are emerging as leaders in their respective disciplines and taking advantage of opportunities to contribute to the interdisciplinary education mission.

The GCOOS leadership team is another example of exceptional dedication to the Departmental mission, and we are privileged to host the GCOOS office here at TAMU. Furthermore, several GERG and IODP

Research Scientists, currently affiliated with Oceanography as Adjunct Faculty, have contributed to the education mission of the department and college and their efforts are valued tremendously.

6.3. Faculty Profile and Contributions6.3.1 Research Funding and PublicationsTable 6-1 lists the external funding record (all sources) for ad-loc faculty serving as PIs from 2008 to 2015 (please note that many of the faculty contribute to these interdisciplinary collaborative efforts as co-PIs). Only faculty with funding over that time period are included, and the table includes faculty no longer employed by the Department of Oceanography. A list of the individual grants is detailed in Appendix 3.The department’s 2014 rankings in several federal funding metrics available through the University’s subscription to a commercial academic database, Academic Analytics (the 2015 data was not released in time to incorporate into this self study, and the commercial database always lags a year), are shown in Table 6-2 and Figure 6-1. While it is important to note that this database does not include many sources of funding important to our department’s total external funding portfolio, it is equally important to recognize that our peer and aspirant institutions are similarly disadvantaged in this metric (e.g., those programs successfully competing for federal funds are also successfully competing for non-federal

funds). Regardless of the database tool, external funding is a targeted area of improvement in our current strategic planning implementation. Recent hires of exceptionally talented early career faculty, a renewed sense of interdisciplinary collaboration within

the department and Ocean Science Alliance, the strategic investment in observational infrastructure, and an overall improvement in department culture will contribute to improvements in this metric.Our publication quantity and impact (with the recognition that citations are only one way to quantify impact)

are also reflected in the 2014 rankings provided in Table 6-2. Appendix 4 details the publications by year of the ad-loc faculty in the Department of Oceanography since 2008. Again, our overall rankings are not commensurate with our vision of national leadership and our current emphasis is to translate the investment in state-of-the-art

analytical capabilities into timely and impactful publications.

diverse array of mentoring expertise throughout the University, since our graduate students not only are mentored and supported by the ad-loc faculty, but also by the joint appointed faculty, graduate faculty members, and research personnel. Here we present data that reflect the mentoring contributions of all affiliated faculty from the list of all students who have graduated since 2008 depicted in Table 6-3.

6.3.3 Contributions to Undergraduate STEM Education and Science LiteracyCore Curriculum – Introductory

Oceanography (OCNG 251) and the Oceanography Lab course (OCNG 252)We embrace our opportunity and obligation to contribute to the science literacy of non-science majors and recognize that the growing need for a scientifically literate population combined with the increasing relevance of the ocean sciences positions us well to contribute significantly to the University mission through the education of the citizens of the State and Nation. To this end we have maintained our introductory courses in the inventory of TAMU Core Curriculum, and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board requires periodic assessment of the following learning outcomes in order to remain in the Core:• Critical Thinking Skills – to

include creative thinking, innovation, inquiry, and analysis, evaluation and synthesis of information.

• Communication Skills – to include effective development, interpretation and expression of ideas through written, oral and visual communication.

• Empirical and Quantitative Skills – to include the manipulation and analysis of numerical data or observable facts resulting in informed conclusions.

• Teamwork – to include the ability to consider different points of view and to work effectively with others to support a shared purpose or goal.

Starting this summer (2016), we regularly will offer the introductory

lecture course online, and have received competitive funds from the university to develop and implement an online offering of the one-hour laboratory course.The University Core Curriculum recently increased the number of required Life and Physical Science hours from 8 to 9, and removed the requirement for a lab course. This change is beginning to impact registration in our lab course (OCNG 252) – all of our graduate teaching assistantship funding in College Station is tied to enrollment in OCNG 252. Despite intensive advertising on campus to the other colleges, the number of students enrolled in OCNG 252 and thus the number

of graduate students we are able to support from departmental funds is beginning to decline (Tables 6-4 and 6-5). We continue to innovate ways to communicate the benefits of taking ‘bundled one hour’ labs as an alternative to a 3-hour classroom course.While teaching assistant positions available through College Station sources are declining, the number of

Oceanography graduate students that receive teaching assistantships through TAMUG sources has increased. Figure 6-1 shows the number of Oceanography students (mentored by faculty in the TAMUG departments of Marine Sciences and Marine Biology) supported through TAMUG assistantships since 2010.

Contributions to the College-hosted Environmental Programs Majors Oceanography faculty teach courses critical to the Environmental Geosciences and Environmental

Studies bachelors programs, through both OCNG listed courses but also through teaching sections of critical GEOS courses such as the cornerstone (GEOS 105), capstone (GEOS 405), electives (GEOS 401, 410), and most importantly through research experiences (OCNG 491) that support the College’s high impact educational opportunities (Tables 6-6, 6-7 and 6-8).

all facets of high impact educational experiences, from first year seminar learning communities, to field-based work, to writing intensive course options in support of other undergraduate major degree programs, to research experiences (Table 6-9). This is a natural extension of our “teaching through research” philosophy of graduate education.

One unique aspect of the high impact contributions of the Oceanography faculty is the potential to provide seagoing experiences to our students.

As detailed later in section 8.4, our faculty consistently provide opportunities for our students to gain meaningful interdisciplinary seagoing experience on cruises (directly related to their own research or in support of others’ projects). These opportunities have relied primarily on major funded initiatives, with PI’s inviting students to fill berths as able. However, our faculty and students have been resourceful and opportunistic in taking advantage of unique opportunities as well. One outcome of our strategic planning and curricular discussions detailed below is to institutionalize regular interdisciplinary training cruises (one per semester) to ensure that all of our students have the opportunity to acquire experience in collecting shipboard data and assessing the quality and meaning of the data.

6.3.5 Contributions to International EffortsOceanography is an interdisciplinary and global science, and each one of our team members engages in considerable international research and education initiatives. As a department, we have focused on three specific coordinated international partnerships.• A dual-degree PhD program and

emerging joint research center with the Ocean University of China (Qingdao, PRC). Coordinated by Ping Chang, numerous Oceanography faculty members have participated in this initiative since 2008 by mentoring students through the dual degree program, participating in the annual delegation to Qingdao to interview

OUC applicants, and collaborating on a PI-level with faculty members at the OUC.

• A research and education partnership with the Ecuadorian Instituto Oceanográfico de la Armada (INOCAR) providing generous ship time and access to the Galapagos for graduate and undergraduate students. This effort has provided dozens of TAMU students with the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary research and education cruises in the Galapagos region. This summer Drs. Slowey and Biggs will each lead a group of undergraduates to the Galapagos as part of the College of Geosciences high impact learning initiative.

• A new research and educational partnership with the University of Haifa (Israel) nucleating around the design, construction and deployment of moorings in the Eastern Mediterranean and a dual degree PhD program currently under development.

6.3.6 Contributions to Broadening Participation and EngagementOur researchers and faculty are devoted to the mission of broadening participation in the ocean sciences through outreach and informal educational opportunities. This engagement spans the spectrum from leading activities in local schools and scout troops, to serving as mentors to early career scientists outside of TAMU, to serving as media contacts for local and national news outlets.

6-43

Two recent and coordinated efforts merit particular attention – our new on-air contribution to the local NPR station (KAMU), “On the Ocean,” and the new NSF-funded REU program. McKenzie Daughtry, a Biology graduate student working with Dr. Lisa Campbell conceived the vision of a weekly, topical (with shelf life) segment highlighting the research contributions of TAMU Oceanography. This vision is now a weekly reality made possible through Ms. Daughtry’s efforts (and voice talent!) and the contributions

of our faculty to the weekly content. Drs. Campbell and Knap also led a successful and innovative proposal effort to create the first observation-based oceanographic REU program. One of the requirements of NSF is that the REU focus heavily on successfully recruiting applicants from underrepresented groups in the discipline. 18 members of the Oceanography Department are participating in the program as potential mentors and module instructors.

based thesis or dissertation. All students seeking these degrees are required to complete in satisfactory fashion core courses in biological, chemical, geological, and physical oceanography, as well as a course in communicating ocean science; they must also participate in oceanography seminar and research. The full list of courses offered by the Oceanography Department can be found in Appendix 5. For the PhD degree, students are required to earn a minimum of either 96 credit hours if starting from BS level, or 64 credit hours if starting from MS level. The specific requirements for each degree are listed in Table 7-2. The Department recently received approval for a new professional, non-thesis masters degree, officially called the Master of Ocean Science and Technology degree to distinguish it from the existing thesis-based

Master of Science degree (Table 7-3). The purpose of the new degree is to immerse students in the collection, assessment, and interpretation of ocean observing data to meet the needs of an emerging new blue economy workforce that requires data fluency. The Department serves as academic home for two other graduate degree programs. First, faculty in the Department may mentor students admitted into the Marine Biology Interdisciplinary Program (MARB IDP). This is an interdisciplinary academic program that spans the three campuses of Texas A&M University, the Texas A&M University - Galveston Campus, and Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi. Students in this program are required to complete a research-based dissertation. Since this interdisciplinary program began in 2007, no students have earned degrees

through faculty in the Department of Oceanography, and one current MARB IDP student is mentored by an Oceanography faculty member. Second, the Department also serves as a home for students pursuing the Master of Geosciences degree, an entirely course based degree program without a thesis requirement. This program offers non-traditional students

an opportunity to earn a graduate degree that provides a broad overview of ocean and environmental science. It is well suited for K-12 teachers, members of the military, or other people who already have careers and to continue their education. The Department of Oceanography has created a new sequence of 3+2 BS-Masters degrees within the College of Geosciences, with current pairings between the Environmental Geosciences BS and the MOST degree, the Geology BS and BA with the MOST degree, and the Meteorology BS with the MOST degree. These fast track programs offer motivated and exceptional students an efficient way to achieve their geoscience career goals, by completing the Bachelor of Science degree in the Environmental Geosciences program, the Meteorology program, or the Geology program, and the Oceanography MOST degree in five years. These degree pairings require a total of 150 hours of coursework. The concurrent degree program will enable students to coordinate the required BS coursework (120 hours) and MOST coursework (36 credit hours including six dual credit graduate courses) to complete the required credit hours for each degree within five years, without diminishing scope or quality of work. We are currently working to broaden the array of pairings to include the new Geographic Information Science and Technology degree (hosted by the Department of Geography), the Civil Engineering BS, and the Ocean Engineering BS. The Department offers an Undergraduate Minor Degree in

7-49

oceanography that requires a total of 15 hours of study with at least six hours in upper division courses. Students may elect to complete all 15 hours as classroom coursework, however we strongly encourage all of our majors to incorporate research and/or a research thesis into the degree program (up to 6 hours of research may contribute to the required 15 credit hours). There are 14 undergraduate courses available in the classroom (Table 7-4) as well as course credits for individual pursuits of special topics, directed studies, and research with a member of the Department’s faculty. In 2005 we implemented a certificate-granting program in Ocean Observing Systems as a concentration option through any Oceanography or other degree program at TAMU to train

students in ocean data collection, data management, and production and distribution of products and services. Students in this program interact with other departments both within and outside the College. Students benefit from the range of training and facilities available at TAMU including in situ ocean observations, remote sensing technologies, data analysis techniques and display, geographic information systems, modeling, and an existing ocean observing system – the Texas Automated Buoy System (TABS). To date, 2 students have graduated with the Ocean Observing Systems Certificate.The Department of Marine Sciences (TAMUG) and the Department of Oceanography are working toward a partnership in which the Marine Sciences BS degree will be offered to

7.3 Admissions Criteria for the PhD programApplicants to the PhD program are evaluated through transcripts, the GRE examination, and letters of recommendation. A solid background in calculus, physics, and chemistry is required. Only students with identified faculty advisors are admitted; however the Recruiting and Admissions Committee has final discretion to determine the admissibility of an applicant, regardless of whether full financial support is offered by the prospective advisor.

7.4 Assessment of

Student Learning OutcomesIn August 2012, Dean Miller led a workshop with Department Heads, Assessment Liaisons, and other key curricular leaders to coordinate unit assessment programs and establish a culture in which assessment is meaningfully integrated into educational activities and evaluated to improve our curricula. During this workshop the units elected to establish common assessment goals for each MS and PhD program in the College, establishing the learning outcomes to communicate effectively, to master core knowledge in the discipline, and to conduct independent research. The Oceanography-specific learning outcomes, measures and findings for

Table 7-5. PhD learning outcomes, measures and findings for the past three assessment cycles.

the past three assessment cycles for the Oceanography PhD program are detailed in Table 7-5 and those for the MS program in Table 7-6.

Analysis of the MS and PhD Program Assessment data

2012-2013: We eliminated the Exit Interview, as we collect similar information from the final examinations. We piloted a year-long weekly seminar for first-year graduate students (“Graduate Learning Community”) to improve communication skills, mentoring ability, leadership ability, and graduation rates with the vision of providing all students with a common baseline of mentoring. This was a valuable experience and one that should be institutionalized. Another vision that emerged from this assessment cycle was the desire to revise curricula for core courses. As part of the new strategic plan, we are reviewing

and revising as needed the content and scope of the four core classes to improve students’ understanding of the basic, interdisciplinary principles of oceanography.2013-2014: Based on the findings that: 1) only 40 % of graduating PhD students scored above 80 % on the dissertation ‘effective written communication rubric’ (target is > 90 %), 2) 80 % of graduating PhD students scored better than 80 % of the ‘effective verbal communication’ rubric (target is > 90 %), and 3) 70 % of PhD students published a peer-reviewed paper as first author prior to graduation (target 80 % as reported in their annual reports), we are implementing a formal 3 hour course, ‘Communicating Ocean Science,’ that is now a core requirement of all of our graduate programs. A key critical issue identified during Department strategic planning was the need to enhance the quality and impact of our curricula. These efforts will create a dynamic modern curriculum that reflects the needs of our students and society. Our new organization is based around four interdisciplinary research themes: Ocean Observing Science and Technology, Marine Ecosystems Science and Health, Ocean Climate, and Ocean Energy. This interdisciplinary approach will facilitate the learning of key skills by our PhD students, including integrative learning, critical thinking, and enhanced communication skills. However, it is still crucial for our students to have command of a discipline in order to function as a member of an interdisciplinary team.

7-53

Thus the four ‘traditional’ core courses remain a fundamental basis of our graduate curricula.Based on the finding that only 50 % of graduate students passed the qualification exam with a score > 80 % (target is 90 %), we revised the qualifying examination for students with a bachelors’ degree who wish to bypass the MS degree and more onto a PhD. The qualifying examination was revised to ensure that it 1) is consistent for all students and from year to year, 2) emphasizes degree program learning objectives, 3) provides useful data for assessment, 4) challenges students to use critical thinking and communication skills, and 5) integrates into the new Department organization.2014-2015: A criticism of the 2013-2014 Assessment was a lack of a rubric or calibration scale for the Final Examination Assessment tool, which is used by the student’s graduate committee to assess their learning and skills after their defense exam. This rubric will be used to collect more accurate and calibrated data on our students’ progress. As a result of this process, targets may have to be revised for measures related to this assessment tool for the next assessment cycle.This assessment cycle, two of the targets associated with measures derived from the Final Examination Assessment were partially met. This may have been a calibration issue based on the qualitative rubric, but it is also

an issue of bias introduced by small sample size. To overcome the bias of small sample sizes, we will explore new assessment tools that will work for students at any stage of their career. In addition, we are developing an action plan to increase student’s reporting of their achievements via the Graduate Student Annual Evaluation.

7.6 Degree Program EnhancementsAs discussed above, we have made several curricular changes in direct response to our assessment data collection as well as in response to our strategic planning efforts. These include implementation of the new Communicating Ocean Science core course requirement, an attempt to implement a Graduate Learning Community for our first year graduate students (an effort that we must reinstate and institutionalize for our students in Galveston and College Station), and most recently the goal of offering an interdisciplinary training cruise each semester to provide our students with the opportunity to engage in meaningful at-sea training on a repeat transect data collection cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. The basic idea is to bookend each students training with an interdisciplinary cruise, and we currently are working to identify funding and an appropriate vessel to undertake these cruises.

Chapter 8. Student Profile and Contributions

8.1 EnrollmentOverall graduate student enrollment in Oceanography peaked in 2010/2011 and now is lower than in 2008, largely due to declining PhD enrollment (Figures 8-1, 8-2, and 8-3). One positive short-term indicator is the increase in total enrollment since the 2013/2014 academic year, which does coincide with the initiation of our dedicated and active national recruiting efforts. However, the increase in enrollment is not impressive. This trend in graduate enrollment is similar to other programs such as the University of Delaware School of Marine Science and Policy, which has experienced near constant enrollment at ~90 students from 2009 to 2014. However other programs, such as the University of North Carolina Department of Marine Sciences, have experienced steady growth in their graduate program since 2010 (increasing from 27 to 43). We typically do not admit students without support and only rarely have any of our thesis-degree seeking students lost funding during the course of her/his enrollment, thus our enrollment is inherently tied to graduate funding streams. Another dimension to consider is that well-funded PIs are only able to mentor a finite number of graduate students. The overall decrease in the number of ad-loc faculty may explain part of the trend, however this must be tempered with the fact that the overall mentoring capacity has been buttressed by an increase in the number of joint and graduate faculty appointments.

8.2 DiversityThe Department of Oceanography faces the same challenge in accessing the STEM talent of under-represented groups as most of our peer and aspirant institutions, based on discussions at the 2014 Ocean Sciences Educators’ Retreat (convened by the Consortium for Ocean Leadership, http://oceanleadership.org/wp-content/uploads/Ocean-Sciences-Educators-Retreat-Executive-Summary-2014.pdf ). The diversity of the students enrolled in the PhD and MS programs has improved slightly since 2008 (Figures 8-4 and 8-5), however this profile is not even close to reflecting State and National demographics. Over the past three years, female enrollment in the PhD program has declined relative to male enrollment,

while female enrollment exceeds male enrollment in the MS program.

8.3 Retention and Graduation RatesTable 8-1 and Figures 8-6 through 8-9 detail the data related to retention and graduation rate. PhD student retention for statistically significant years varies from 60-92%, while that for MS students varies considerably more (from 50-100%). One reason for the difference is that MS cohorts

potentially lose students to the PhD program once they pass the qualifying examination (if they choose to bypass) and the accounting system does not accurately capture this process.Average graduation rates for PhD students remain significantly above 6 years and this needs to be improved. MS graduation rates have fluctuated significantly since 2008 and we need to take steps to maintain the average

8.4 Graduate Student Contributions to the Research and Education Missions - Professional Development and Job PlacementSeagoing experience and access to state of the art technology are central to the professional development of our graduate students. Since 2010, at least 50% of our graduate students sail on at least one cruise per year. Every student who has sought the opportunity to sail has been able to gain some seagoing

experience, with the recognition that many choose not to sail. With a renewed emphasis on essential skills that translate throughout the job market, we seek to provide our graduates the opportunity to not only gain employment, but to lead within their chosen career path. The ability to communicate with scientists and non-scientists alike is absolutely critical to this vision, and to that end we are innovating new ways to provide meaningful professional development for our graduate students. One innovation we’ve implemented is to offer our senior level PhD students the opportunity to teach independently a section of our Introductory Oceanography course. This opportunity is available to students who hold a MS degree or who have successfully passed the Preliminary Examination if they chose to bypass the MS. Since 2013, six PhD students (as well as three early career Research Scientists) have taken advantage of this opportunity, and have performed very well as instructors. The benefit of the energetic and pedagogically mature Graduate Assistant Lecturers contributing their talent to our educational mission, while also gaining the experience of instruction in a moderate to large classroom setting is clearly mutual and is gaining in popularity among our students.Graduate students are critical to our research mission, and student led publications and conference presentations demonstrate a level of intellectual independence and maturity that employers in all aspects of the workforce desire (Table 8-2). Since

the 2010/2011 academic year, at least 10% of our students have been lead author on a peer-reviewed publication each year, and over 35% have been lead author on a conference presentation each academic year.

Since 2008, our graduates have been successful gaining employment within the Marine and Geosciences workforce, in jobs spanning academia, industry, and government agencies (Table 8-3).

Chapter 9. Concluding Observations

We have made numerous and significant improvements within the Department since our last Academic Program Review. These improvements, combined with innovations in our educational programs and research strategies, are helping us contribute to the overall strategic mission of the University. However we clearly have more work to do to achieve our strategic vision. Recruiting and retention of exceptional students, particularly from underrepresented groups is critical, and it is clear that our only chance of achieving our strategic goal of doubling enrollment lies in broadening and deepening out contributions to undergraduate education. We are extremely grateful for the efforts of the External Review Team and very much look forward to the candid guidance in the forthcoming report.

Appendix 1: May 2014 Strategic Plan*Please note that this is the original aPProved strategic Plan from may 2014 and we have annotated some uPdates in brackets below. however some of the elements have not been imPlemented or uPdated (or may not be imPlemented as our strategy evolves). the intent is to revisit this Plan once we have had the chance to assimilate the ert’s suggestions.

VisionTo join the nation’s top rank of institutions for oceanographic research and education at public universities by uniting the critical mass of energetic and talented ocean scientists and educators at Sea Grant, GERG, IODP, TAMU Galveston, and TAMU College Station.

Mission StatementTo advance discovery and understanding of the ocean sciences, technology and resources. To prepare the next generation of ocean scientists and citizens in general for the challenges facing a growing human population with limited resources.

ValuesThe department embraces the role of a public university in improving the lives of Texans and fosters a culture of scholarly excellence, diversity, and a nurturing workplace environment.

SWOT Analysis • Strengths

o The alliance of Ocean Sciences centers at SeaGrant, GERG, IODP, TAMU - Galveston, and TAMU – College Station represents a truly unique concentration of interdisciplinary research and education capacity. This alliance positions us to fully implement and realize the SmartGulf initiative.

o The Department excels in interdisciplinary research in Ocean Observing and Technology (OOST), Marine Ecosystems Science and Health (MESH), Ocean Climate (OC), and Ocean Energy (OE), and collaborations between Oceanography and the other academic units within the College of Geosciences (Atmospheric Sciences, Geography, and Geology & Geophysics) provide outstanding opportunities to enhance our strengths.

o The Department’s graduate instruction program exemplifies education through research, incorporating high-impact experiences (such as sea-going activities) and highly diverse coursework and training options.

o The Department commands a significant research presence in the global oceans ranging from the tropical oceans and Gulf of Mexico, to the Arctic and Southern Oceans

o Connections with Industry provide sources of funding, data, and a demand for our graduates in many fields.

• Weaknesseso The Department does not contribute sufficiently to the education mission of a public land-grant

university, and the graduate enrollment has been declining for the past several years.o The alliance of Ocean Sciences at TAMUG-TAMU, and, more broadly, the state of Texas, lacks a

Appendix 1-68

regional class research vessel for education, training and research endeavors.o The ability of the Department to recruit and retain world-class faculty has declined, and the

Department currently only has one Assistant Professor. [Please note, two years into the Strategic Plan, we now have three Assistant Professors, with a fourth to join us in May 2016.]

o The Department has not embraced distance education technology to improve communications and education with other campuses. [The University adoption of Blackboard Collaborate has helped us tremendously and more courses are more seamlessly taught from College Station to Galveston]

o The composition of the Faculty does not reflect the composition of the graduate or undergraduate student populations. This is an issue facing all oceanographic institutions and is not unique to TAMU Oceanography.

o Recent loss of faculty has impaired the Department’s capacity to meet the education needs of our undergraduate and graduate students, as well as to conduct cutting-edge interdisciplinary research (and several more faculty are projected to retire in the next 5 years).

• External Opportunitieso The demand for a workforce trained in offshore science and technology sector is growing, as is

the demand from onshore industries seeking interdisciplinary skillsets. Such a demand is creating industry-academic partnerships for which we are ideally suited and could promote stronger ties to Ocean Engineering.

o The growing need for a scientifically literate population combined with the increasing relevance of the ocean sciences positions us well to contribute significantly to the University mission through the education of the citizens of the State and Nation.

o Future federal funding opportunities that emphasize “big data” (e.g., informatics), international interdisciplinary research, and Gulf of Mexico research initiatives (e.g., GoMRI, NAS) are a significant opportunity for the Department.

o International programs and collaborations with Ecuador, Brazil, China, and Mexico (among others) provide significant opportunities for interdisciplinary education, research, and funding. Engaging more in these opportunities would naturally strengthen the international reputation of the Department

o Expansion of high performance computing facilities at TAMU will enable us to enhance our incorporation of numerical modeling and data-intensive time series analysis in Departmental education and research endeavors.

o The recent IPCC report identifies the ocean as a dominant component of global climate and global climate change. Stronger ties with Atmospheric Sciences, with the Texas Center for Climate Studies, and with major national and international research centers working on ocean climate change (e.g., NCAR, GFDL, MPI, IPSL) will enhance the Department’s existing expertise and reputation in this area of research (OC).

• External Threatso Changes in the University Core Curriculum could significantly impact our student credit hours

resulting in diminished funding from the University to the College and Department. A reduction in the number of students taking the lab course would reduce the number of TA positions ultimately limiting our ability to support graduate students

o Other marine science institutions face the same threats and are competing for the same resources and for preeminent status.

o Federal funding is not increasing and proposal success rates are declining. These issues will impact our ability to conduct high-impact interdisciplinary research and our ability to support graduate students.

Appendix 1-69

o The lack of underrepresented minority engagement in the ocean sciences perpetuates the lack of diversity among ocean science educators and professionals.

Critical Issues

Research Challenge: Elevate the scholarly reputation of the departmentWhy is this issue strategic?The Department’s reputation, both quantitative and qualitative, is the most significant aspect of recruiting and retention of world-class students, staff, and faculty. What is the first impression imparted by the mention of TAMU Oceanography? Has-been, up-and-coming, outstanding? Our ability to achieve a critical mass of faculty in each strategic theme is intricately tied to our scholarly reputation – excellence breeds excellence.

What are the consequences of failure?We will never achieve our vision. Faculty will not achieve promotions. Graduate students will not make a successful transition into the workforce.

EducationChallenge: Enhance the quality and impact of our curricula Why is this issue strategic?In order to recruit more students to our undergraduate and graduate programs, and to meet the demands of an evolving workforce, our curricula must continuously adapt to incorporate cutting-edge research and improving educational technology and pedagogy.

What are the consequences of failure?Our operating resources are directly tied to our impact on the University’s education mission. Failure to attract more students and provide them with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the workforce would result in loss of operating funds and faculty lines, precluding our ability to perform research and compete for external funding. This ultimately controls our ability to elevate the scholarly reputation of the department.

Human CapitalChallenge: Recruit, diversify and retain faculty and staffWhy is this issue strategic? In order to achieve excellence, and to achieve our mission to advance discovery and prepare the next generation of ocean science leaders through education and research, we must recruit and retain diverse and talented staff and faculty. The composition of our staff and faculty directly impacts our ability to recruit talented students. The diversity of the state and student body of Texas is highly diverse and the composition of the Department needs to better reflect this in order to attract more students into Oceanography.

What are the consequences of failure?We will not maintain a critical mass of talented faculty in each strategic theme or achieve our mission to advance discovery and prepare the next generation of ocean science leaders through education and research if we fail to recruit, diversify and retain faculty and staff. Without a talented faculty, we cannot attain the education mission or elevate the scholarly reputation of the department through research.

Goals• Elevate the scholarly reputation of the department. • Double the enrollment in Oceanography and Ocean Sciences degree programs in the next five years.

Appendix 1-70

• Enhance the impact of our service course offerings in both quality and in the number of non-geoscience Aggies that we educate.

Action PlansElevate the scholarly reputation of the department – We are actively restructuring the department into the four interdisciplinary research themes, and over the next 6 months, 1-2 years and 3-5 years we will focus resources in three of these four areas of interdisciplinary research strength: Ocean Observing Science and Technology (OOST), Marine Ecosystems Science and Health (MESH), and Ocean Climate (OC). The Department has a critical mass of faculty and research staff in these three areas, and we are poised to transform our reputation by increasing the scholarly impact of our publications and increasing the number and value of proposals submitted in these three areas. While we are committed to rebuilding in the fourth interdisciplinary theme, Ocean Energy, we recognize that we cannot accomplish strategic growth and enhanced scholarly impact in all four themes during this strategic planning cycle. This will become a priority once we have accomplished our goals for OOST, MESH and OC. Enhancing the scholarly reputation of the department is crucial to addressing the critical issue to recruit, diversify and retain faculty and staff. Excellence perpetuates excellence, and we are striving to create a culture of trust, teamwork and excellence in which collaboration occurs organically.

6-month actions• We are investing the remaining $287,000 from the sale of the R/V Gyre to enhance the Department’s

Ocean Observing instrument capabilities. The remaining funds will be divided equally among: 1) Glider enhancements to expand the depth and density range of operation; 2) non-standard (interdisciplinary) instrument systems for moored applications such as dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, pCO2, and fluorometry; and 3) a flow-through instrumentation system that includes a thermosalinograph, Imaging FlowCytobot, fluorometer, tranmissometer, and Picarro analyzer to mount on the R/V Manta to exploit repeat transits between Galveston and the Flower Gardens NMS. [We have procured, installed, and using all but the mooring enhancements – these await buoy recovery and installation]

• Increase the citation impact and number of our publications by broadening the implications of our work and submitting our scientific findings to high profile journals.

1-2 year actions• Implement the SmartGulf initiative in collaboration with GERG and ATMO. Hire a Presidential Professor

with the Chancellor’s Research Initiative funding awarded to the College. [We have hired Dr. Gerardo Gold-Bouchot, and the coastal radars and ferry box instruments are funded through this initiative].

• Hire 3 new assistant professors to fill key, top-priority needs in the OOST, MESH, and OC themes (this includes at least one of the advertised IODP hires that meets our strategic needs). A scientist who specializes in biogeochemical modeling is crucial for the OOST, MESH, and OC groups to compete for large, interdisciplinary proposal efforts. An equally high-priority need is a molecular ecologist. Such a specialist would fill an interdisciplinary niche in both OOST and MESH. [We have hired three new Assistant Professors that fill top-priority interdisciplinary needs, and just hired a Visiting Assistant Professor joining us in August 2016 to contribute to OOST education and research. The biogeochemical modeler remains a top priority.]

• Retain the GCOOS Regional Association office at TAMU.• Increase the citation impact of our publications by writing more papers, broadening the implications of our

work and submitting our scientific findings to high profile journals.• Improve the communication of our societal impact through better engagement with Texas SeaGrant and

our College Communications staff– the work we do impacts government agency policies, decision-making, and ultimately legislation. Impacting policy in parallel with scholarship adds significant value to the interdisciplinary research in OCNG and we will actively engage in “in-reach” as well as outreach activities to communicate the societal value of our scholarship. Another measure of the scholarly and societal impact

Appendix 1-71

of our work is through citation in major international assessment reports such as the IPCC. [We created the new local NPR weekly contribution “On the Ocean” as part of this effort.]

• Increase the number of high profile, interdisciplinary proposal efforts and the value of the proposals submitted. This is one opportunity to strengthen ties to ATMO, TCCS, and other colleges/units. However, high-risk/high-reward efforts should be part a balanced portfolio of research activities to ensure a stable baseline of research expenditures while striving for overall growth.

• Increase the number of faculty serving as academic editors for journals.

3-5 year actions• Successfully nominate 3 faculty members for Society fellowships through a focused and dedicated effort

by the Department Head and Advisory Committee. At present we have one faculty member under consideration for AGU and AMS Fellowship, and in order to position additional faculty for society fellowship consideration, we must pursue supporting awards (awards beget awards). This not only includes our senior faculty, but our junior faculty as well (e.g., AGU Macelwane Medal, young investigator awards, etc).

• Increase the number of faculty serving on national and international planning groups and committees.• Increase the number of faculty contributing to major interdisciplinary and international assessment reports

(e.g., the IPCC).

Double the enrollment in Oceanography and Ocean Sciences degree programs in the next five years - We outline actions on a 6-month, 1-2 year, and 3-5 year timeline to produce world-class degree programs that attract traditional thesis and non-thesis professional students to our graduate programs through intensive evaluation of our program learning outcomes.

6-month actions

• We will complete the paperwork for the new non-thesis M.S. in Ocean Sciences and Technology that will serve professional students as well as TAMU students admitted to the new 3+2 concurrent B.S./M.S. programs. Currently we have 3+2 degrees pairing the ENGS B.S. and GEOL B.S. (in development) with the OCNG M.S. in Ocean Sciences and Technology. We will also work with Geography and Atmospheric Sciences to develop programs pairing the GIST B.S. program with the OCNG M.S. in Ocean Sciences and Technology (emphasis in the Ocean Observing Science and Technology theme), as well as the METR B.S. with the OCNG M.S. in Ocean Sciences and Technology. [We have to route the paperwork for the GIST pairing but the others launched]

• Branding and advertising the approved and pending 3+2 and non-thesis MS programs will involve a significant web presence through coordination with the Communications Director’s office, as well as other social media and traditional advertising within the college and at major recruiting, orientation and outreach functions.

• We will develop an active, sustained and highly visible recruiting program in partnership with the new Director of Recruiting as well as Associate Dean Riggs. We propose to use a portion of the Graduate Strategic Funds to develop recruiting materials and participate in key recruiting venues such as SACNAS, NSTA, GSA, AGU, OS/ASLO.

• We will work with the College to ensure that the Academic Advising capacity in the Department is able to keep pace with the new degree offerings and projected enrollment increases. This will involve streamlining the responsibilities of the Academic Advisor, to ensure that the Advisor is not burdened with business- and accounting-oriented tasks that detract from the position duties. The College will need to standardize this among the academic units to ensure that all units handle this streamlining in a consistent manner.

Appendix 1-72

1-2 year actions

• We seek to expand our 3+2 offerings to include potential partnerships with MARS, MARB, and other TAMU STEM majors. This will require cross-college collaboration to overcome Enrollment Incentives concerns.

• Undergraduate curriculum development focused on the four interdisciplinary themes will help attract more minors to the OCNG programs and potentially provide more applicants to the 3+2 programs.

• We have initiated a discussion of graduate curriculum revision, beginning with a highly successful retreat on March 21 that brought together representatives from each member of the TAMU Ocean Sciences Alliance (GERG, IODP, MARB, MARS, OCNG). The significant developments from the retreat center on revisions to our traditional core curriculum. In the coming months we will explore the potential of requiring a different set of core courses that emphasizes the skills and competencies required of oceanography graduates in the 21st century workforce in addition to baseline content knowledge (background in programming, data methods, communication skills for a range of audiences, and baseline oceanographic knowledge). One potential path would be to require incoming graduate students to take a two-semester interdisciplinary survey of oceanography rather than immerse them immediately into the four traditional core courses. Students with appropriate background could waive this requirement and move on to higher-level courses. The four core courses would remain, but could be taught at a more sophisticated level and would still remain highly popular within the College and with civil engineering students. [We have tabled these ideas for the time being to accommodate other educational innovations] We are also exploring a 3-hour communication course for first year graduate students that would encompass all aspects of oral and written communication [this is now a new requirement in all of our graduate programs], as well as a core course in data analysis and methods that includes some component of programming (Matlab, python, and data visualization tools). We envision implementing a set of core curriculum revisions for the Fall 2015 semester concurrent with the advent of the new non-thesis M.S. degree.

• We will initiate discussions of how to enhance our impact through distance and online courses that would serve our students physically based in Galveston as well the professional non-thesis M.S. program (to reach professionals in Houston, for example).

3-5 year actions

• We will collaborate in complete partnership with the MARA, MARB and MARS units at TAMUG to consider joint or dual undergraduate degree programs that would increase enrollment on both campuses. Together, the two campuses offer a truly unique concentration of educational opportunities that cannot be matched by any other public university in the country – the “urban coast” of Galveston with its tremendous waterfront resources paired with the “Aggie experience” positions TAMU to be the top undergraduate ocean sciences education program in the U.S.

• Complete our efforts to develop a fully online degree program in Ocean Observing Science and Technology.

• Pursue permanent funds (e.g., endowment or permanent budget item) to provide all graduate students with the opportunity to go to sea. This is envisioned as a highly desirable elective rather than a requirement for all students.

• Pursue permanent funds (e.g., endowment or permanent budget item) to provide faculty the ability to mentor undergraduate research projects through OCNG 491. These funds are envisioned to cover analytical/field work costs and could be awarded on a competitive basis.

Enhance the impact of our service course offerings in both quality and in the number of non-geoscience Aggies that we educate - Over the next 6 months, 1-2 years and 3-5 years we will take steps to contribute to the College’s vision of making the Geosciences the most relevant discipline of the 21st century through our introductory lecture

Appendix 1-73

and lab course offerings as well as the new OCNG 600 oceanography for educators course. To do so we must embrace cutting-edge classroom technology and pedagogical practices, with learning outcomes that prepare the nonscientist to make informed decisions regarding climate change, sustainable coasts and ocean health.

6-month actions [all in progress or accomplished]• We have hired our first Instructional Assistant Professor dedicated to overhauling the Introductory

Oceanography laboratory class and enhancing the quality of the lecture course. • Build on faculty efforts to coordinate and share “best practices” among the instructors teaching OCNG

251, potentially contributing to discipline based education research in the ocean sciences.• OCNG faculty and the Academic Advisor will actively engage the advisors in Liberal Arts and Business to

advertise our core course offerings.• We will use enthusiastic and exceptionally capable Graduate Assistant Lecturers (GALs) (instead of outside

lecturers) to teach introductory lecture sections as needed. GALs, with proper mentoring and support, should have a better connection to undergraduate students than those outside of the academic department and will strengthen our overall reputation as an education-forward department.

• We will initiate discussions of how to hybridize OCNG 251 to enable us to increase the number of sections within the constraints of available classrooms.

• Make more efficient use of available GANT resources to develop and implement impactful demonstrations for lecture course meetings. Removing the burden of development/preparation/demobilization from individual instructors will enhance the likelihood that high impact demos would be incorporated into the day-to-day structure of a course.

• Provide guidance to instructors to make more efficient and impactful use of clickers for student teamwork and as a daily “assessment” tool.

• Revise OCNG 252 laboratory exercises more on current hot-topics in oceanography and more relevant to Texas citizens

• Transition the lab manual to eCampus at no cost to the student – this directly addresses the most common complaint on student evaluations (the high cost lab manual).

• Ensure that many lab exercises employ common everyday equipment.  With our goal to broaden the participation of Education majors in our courses, we need to identify exercises that are simple and safe enough for future teachers to translate them to K-12 classrooms.

1-2 year actions• The Department will provide resources to faculty to facilitate participation in education enhancement

workshop such as those offered by On the Cutting Edge. The Department Head will actively circulate announcements and encourage/reward participation.

• We will foster and reward a culture that embraces the education of non-science majors in a truly impactful manner. To this end we will provide the necessary support all faculty to reinforce the broad societal relevance of the ocean sciences and geosciences.

• Explore and implement an online version of the Oceanography for Educators course to serve the distance education students enrolled in Science Education programs. [this is the only action not currently being pursued]

• Explore and implement hybrid and online versions of OCNG 251.

3-5 year actions• Explore and pilot potential college-wide interdisciplinary introductory geoscience offerings. Enrollment

incentives are based at the college-level, thus it would be strategic of the units within the college to pool resources to create highly attractive and impactful core-course offerings.

Externally Funded Research Projects Since 2000Since 2000, I’ve collaborated in five oceanographic research programs in the Gulf of Mexico: NASA, NEGOM, DGOMB, SWAMP, and SWSS. My research focus in these programs that were externally funded by MMS, NASA, and NOAA was on bridging physical with biological oceanography. In addition, I received funding from the US Marine Mammal Commission for “Building Partnerships for Long-Term Ecological Monitoring of Marine Mammals in the Galapagos Islands and in other Marine Reserves in Ecuador”. This was a cooperative project with the Instituto Oceanografico de la Armada del Ecuador (INOCAR); my $34,969 award included 1.5 months of my research time/effort for six months 1 Sept 2009 – 28 Feb 2010, plus support for travel to Washington DC and to several domestic and international meetings.

NASA: I was co-PI for “Impact of Large River Plumes on Carbon and Salt Fluxes in the surface ocean” (RF 455731), which awarded to me in collaboration with the University of South Florida. Funding period was May 2001 – April 2004. Total subcontract funding to me from USF was $63,826; Biggs grad student supported was Will Fletcher.

NEGOM: I was one of many co-PIs for the “NorthEast Gulf of Mexico Hydrography and Chemical Oceanography” contract (RF 438691), funded by MMS. Funding period was Sept 1997 – Aug 2001. Funding for the subaccount on which I had budgetary authority (438691-01001) was $112,521; Biggs grad student supported was Rebecca Scott.

DGOMB: I was one of many co-PIs for “Northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Slope Habitats and Benthic Ecology” contract (TEES 32525-5913), funded by MMS. Funding period was Aug 1999 – Aug 2003.

GERARDO GOLD BOUCHOT, Ph.D.

Professor, Oceanography Department, Texas A&M University

Education1979 B. Sc. Oceanology (College Of Marine Sciences, State University Of Baja California, Ensenada, Mexico)1983 M. Sc. Chemistry (University Of The Pacific, Stockton, California)1991 Sc. D. Marine Sciences (Center For Research And Advanced Studies, Merida, Mexico)

Teaching I have tried to motivate the students to pursue a career in science, to give their best effort, and always maintain their scientific integrity. I use textbooks, but also emphasize reading and analyzing the recent literature so the students have up to date information, but also learn how to read scientific papers. I enjoy teaching, and challenging the students to think critically.

Research Leadership

Gulf Integrated Spill Research Consoritium: Chief Scientist. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . since 2011Chief Scientist (head of research activities) for the Gulf Integrated Spill Research (GISR) Consor-tium, with project manager Piers Chapman (TAMU Oceanography) and funded by the BP/Gulfof Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI). This project includes 23 PIs at 10 different institutions,including the Departments of Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences, and Civil Engineering at TexasA&M. Socolofsky was lead author of the successful proposal. The vision of the GISR consortium isto understand and predict the fundamental behavior of petroleum fluids in the ocean environment.This capability is critical to inform decisions during response to oil spills and for development ofmitigation plans, ultimately yielding significant environmental and financial savings. The Missionof the current block grant to GISR is to develop a coupled, tested modeling and observationalsystem to track and predict the pathways of transforming hydrocarbons released from oil spills inthe Gulf of Mexico and to validate this modeling system through new, targeted field and laboratoryexperiments. In addition to his role as chief scientist, Socolofsky’s research roles include applyingand coupling of his numerical blowout model to a far-field transport model, conducting new labo-ratory experiments on multiphase plumes, and leading two field experiments to study natural seepsand a controlled injection of gas to simulate a blowout plume (to be conducted in summer 2014and 2015, respectively).

NSF Collaborative Grant: Principle Investigator. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . since 2010Principle investigator and lead proposal author for a collaborative research project funded bythe National Science Foundation, Division of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Transport,in the Environmental Engineering Program. The project studies the effect of aeration plumeson sediment oxygen demand in lakes. The collaboration brings together researchers from TexasA&M University, Virginia Tech, University of Granada, Spain, and the Swiss Federal Institute ofAquatic Science and Technology (Eawag). This project conducted field measurements in lakes inVirginia (2011 and 2013) and Switzerland (2012) along with near-field and far-field modeling andwill produce two Ph.D. students in 2014 to 2015.

Multiphase Plume Modeling: Invited Proposals. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . since 2010Through Socolofsky’s publications and research on laboratory experiments and integral plume mod-eling of multiphase plumes, he has become a recognized expert in the area. He has targeted a widerange of applications, including lake and reservoir aeration, deep ocean carbon sequestration, funda-mental physics studies, and subsea oil well blowouts. He was selected by Deltares, The Netherlands,to submit a work scope and budget (invited, non-competitive) for laboratory experiments on bub-ble plume destratification as a solution to salt-wedge intrusion in the Rotterdam Waterway. Hereceived similar invitations for multiple research projects from Chevron and Shell oil companiesfollowing the Deepwater Horizon disaster. In addition to his role as Chief Scientist on the GISRconsortium, he is the lead near-field modeler for another BP/GoMRI Consortium, C-IMAGE, ledby the University of South Florida. Socolofsky is a member of the American Petroleum InstituteTechnical Advisory Committee for the D3 Task Force on Subsea Dispersant Effectiveness for mit-igation of accidental oil-well blowouts. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA) is embedding his blowout model (see Other Scholarly Contributions, below) in their next

generation operational spill model (GNOME). NOAA has also contracted Socolofsky to reviewtheir near-field modeling work for the Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment(NRDA). British Petroleum also invited Socolofsky to consult for their NRDA work, but he wasprevented from working with them due to the prior commitment to NOAA. In the last four years,these projects have brought in over $4.1M, supporting laboratory and field experiments, numericalmodeling, and the on-going activities of five Ph.D. students and two post doctoral researchers.

Other Scholarly Contributions

Texas A&M Oilspill Calculator (TAMOC). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . since 2006Through funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Socolofsky developed a numericalmodeling system to predict the dynamics of multiphase plumes in lakes and reservoirs, primarily forapplication in aeration. The model follows an integral modeling approach and employs a double-plume solution, following the work of Asaeda & Imberger (1993) and Crounse et al. (2007). Thevalidation of the model and application to deep ocean carbon dioxide sequestration was publishedin Socolofsky et al. (2008) and Socolofsky & Bhaumik (2008). At that time, the model was codedin Matlab and included only air, oxygen, or carbon dioxide as the multiphase fluid; the modelwas known as the Stratified Multiphase Integral Plume in Matlab (SMIP-M) model and was anopen-source code.

During the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the model was upgraded to handle oil, natural gas andnon-ideal fluid behavior, following equations of state in McCain (1990) and McGinnis et al. (2006),through a RAPID grant from NSF. This updated model was used in a project funded by ShellInternational to study the behavior of gas hydrates and their effects on oil well blowouts; this workis published in Anderson et al. (2012).

Since receiving funding from the BP/Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) through theC-IMAGE consortium, the model has been significantly expanded and ported to the Python andFortran programming languages. The new modeling suite is called the Texas A&M Oilspill Calcu-lator (TAMOC) and is available online as open source at:

https://github.com/socolofs/tamoc

Appendix 2-182

The modeling package includes extensive equations of state for petroleum fluids, methods to handleambient water column data and for coupling to ocean circulation models, and numerical modules topredict the fate of a single bubble or droplet rising through the water column (e.g., a natural seep)or the plume dynamics of a collection of released fluids (e.g., a pipeline leak or subsea accidentalblowout). Several publications on model methods and demonstrating applications of this newmodeling suite are in preparation with Socolofskys Ph.D. students and post doctoral researchers.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is currently coupling this model tothe next generation release of the General NOAA Operational Modeling Environment (GNOME).The model is also being coupled to the Connectivity Modeling System (CMS, through C-IMAGEfunding in collaboration with Claire Paris) and the Lagrangian TRANSport model (LTRANS,through the GoMRI funded GISR consortium with Elizabeth North). The open-source code is alsobeing used by Shell International and Chevron Energy Technology Corporation for exploration andinternal risk assessment.

Shallow Water Enhanced Stability Calculator in Matlab (SWESC-M). . . . . . . since 2004This is a state-of-the-art Matlab computer program for solving the linear stability problem forshallow water shear flows. The program has a complete Graphical User Interface (GUI) and User’sManual, and is distributed under the GNU General Public License. SWESC-M incorporates manyinnovative automation and search methods developed by Socolofsky for finding critical stabilitypoints. It also provides for batch-processing and efficient post-processing. The program has beenused by researchers at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany (Prof. G. Jirka), the Hong KongUniversity of Science and Technology (Prof. M. Ghidaoui), Texas A&M University (Prof. S. So-colofsky), and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Prof. H. Nepf). Publications using thismodel by Socolofsky include Negretti et al. (2008) and Socolofsky & Jirka (2004). Other publica-tions Socolofsky is aware of that apply SWESC-M include White & Nepf (2007, Journal of FluidMechanics, 593, pp. 1-32.).

Engrg.Thesis Supervisor: Dr. E. Eric AdamsCommittee Members: Drs. Ole S. Madsen & Heidi M. Nepf

Conducted laboratory experiments to help understand deep ocean (> 1000 m) multiphase plumesboth for the design of ocean outfalls of CO2 (for carbon sequestration) and for clean-up planning ofdeepsea accidental oil-well blowouts. Experimental techniques included laser-induced fluorescence(LIF), shadowgraph visualization, salinity and dye concentration profiling, and crossflow generationusing both a towed source and a recirculation pump. Numerical techniques included integral andbox models. Project goals were three-fold: 1. to classify the different modes of plume behavior,2. to quantify plume dilution for calibration of numerical models, and 3. to develop a modelingalgorithm to account for the effect of crossflows.

Teaching Activities

Socolofsky has had teaching appointments at both the University of Karlsruhe, Germany (2001-2002) and Texas A&M University (since 2003). Significant accomplishments include:

• As a measure of teaching effectiveness, Socolofsky’s course average evaluation scores rangefrom 4.13 (ENGR 111 in fall 2003) to 5.00 (OCEN 677 in spring 2007 and OCEN 475 inspring 2011) on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. His average evaluation score is4.67 across all 28 course sections taught at Texas A&M University.

• Student written comments are mostly positive, focusing on his organization, passion for thematerial, ability to communicate effectively, and the sense that Socolofsky cares that studentslearn the material well.

• As course coordinator for CVEN 302 (Computer Applications in Engineering and Construc-tion), Socolofsky led an effort to improve the programming aspects of the course by addingthree hours of laboratory time and a block of 12 major programming assignments to the course.Student feedback is that the laboratory time and programming assignments are beneficial tothe class and help their later progression through upper-level undergraduate courses.

• Developed a new course sequence at Texas A&M University in Environmental Fluid Mechanics(see New Courses Developed, below).

• Continually updating and adapting OCEN 678 (Fluid Dynamics for Ocean and EnvironmentalEngineering) to accommodate the growing class size (35 students in 2013). This includes acomprehensive set of notes and recorded lectures posted on the course website as well asinnovative use of student groups for the homework assignments and course project.

New Courses Developed

Since coming to Texas A&M University in 2003, Socolofsky developed two new courses in Environ-mental Fluid Mechanics. These began as independent undergraduate and graduate courses, andwere each co-taught the first time with Dr. Kuang-An Chang (in 2004 and 2005).

Development of Course Materials

Textbook on Environmental Fluid MechanicsSocolofsky has written a textbook-style manuscript for a two-semester course on EnvironmentalFluid Mechanics together with Gerhard H. Jirka (professor from the University of Karlsruhe; sincedeceased). The text is appropriate for a senior level technical elective or a first-year graduate class.The first semester portion of the book is being used as the primary textbook for his courses inEnvironmental Fluid Mechanics (OCEN 475 and 677), and is available for download from:

https://ceprofs.civil.tamu.edu/ssocolofsky/OCENx89/book.html

The second semester portion of the book was used in the OCEN 677 when it was offered as agraduate-only section. The chapters for this section (Chapter2 8 through 11) are available fordownload from:

https://ceprofs.tamu.edu/kchang/ocen689/ocen689.htm

These chapters are used by many other faculty around the world. Socolofsky has email communi-cation with faculty at 16 different institutions who have used the text in the courses they offer.

Extensive set of Course WebsitesSocolofsky maintains an extensive set of web-sites for his courses at TAMU following content guide-lines developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology OpenCourseWare program. Eachwebsite contains a complete calendar with downloadable lecture notes (where applicable), a com-plete syllabus, a listing of assignments and their due dates, an announcements page, a list of linksto related resources, and, if allowed by copyright laws, downloadable handouts and other coursematerials.

The Coastal and Ocean Engineering Division is one of four Divisions in the Zachry Departmentof Civil Engineering and represents nine faculty in the department. As Division Head, Socolofskyserves on the Department Head’s Council of Division Heads, administrates the approval process fora diverse range of paperwork, allocates division space among faculty, staff, visiting scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and students, directs the activities of the Division Administrative Assistantand Senior Laboratory Technician, provides communication lines between the Department Headand Division Faculty, recommends appointments of Division Faculty to Division, Departmental,and external Committee service, assigns Division Faculty teaching loads, helps to perform Facultyand Staff annual performance reviews, and manages a diverse range of other day-to-day activitiesof the division.

The Ocean Engineering Program is an independent degree-granting program within the ZachryDepartment of Civil Engineering and includes an ABET accredited Bachelor of Science degree andgraduate degrees of Master of Science, Master of Engineering, Doctor of Philosophy and Doctorof Engineering all in Ocean Engineering. As Head of the Ocean Engineering Program, Socolofskymanages an external, industrial advisory committee that meets twice per year with the Programfaculty, appoints and oversees faculty and staff as undergraduate and graduate program advisors,helps the department set enrollment caps for the undergraduate program, helps the graduate advisorset enrollment caps and admission standards for the graduate program, administrates a committeein charge of the ABET process (working together with Civil Engineering and the College), andoversees a Program curriculum committee, honors and awards committee, and scholarship andfellowships committee.

While the Ocean Engineering Program is an independent degree-granting program, its budget isadministered by the Civil Engineering Department Head, and the Program Head reports to theDepartment Head as a service role.

Assisted the Associate Department Head (Prof. Roger Smith) on activities related to the undergrad-uate program, including ABET accreditation, review of faculty teaching performance, interfacingwith parents of students on various issues, and administration of student petitions to the Depart-ment Head when they disagreed with decisions made by the Undergraduate Student Services Officewithin the Department. Also served on the Departmental Curriculum Committee and assisted theDepartment Head as a replacement on a number of University- and College-level committees whenthe Department Head was on travel.

Undergraduate Advisor: Ocean Engineering Program. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2009-2010

Served as the first point-of-contact for undergraduate students pursuing the degree of Ocean Engi-neering; activities included admission decisions for change of major and transfer students, approvalof petitions for course substitutions, administration of the academic advising process, setting ofprogram standards, making and enforcing decisions on probation and expulsion, organization ofnew student conferences, and recruiting.

During his time in this role, Socolofsky successfully petitioned the Civil Engineering Department tobudget for a full-time staff person to serve undergraduate advising for Ocean Program students. Bythe fall of 2010, a full time assistant was hired who reported directly to the Undergraduate StudentServices Office Head in the Civil Engineering Department with responsibility for students in theOcean Engineering Program. This new position has relieved the Faculty Undergraduate Advisorfrom having to administrate the many standard day-to-day advising approvals; the Faculty Advisoris now responsible for setting standards and making decisions in unique cases (e.g. transfer of coursehours from other institutions).
