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. Welcome from the Department

Debbie Thomas 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:

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.

2-10 Chapter 3. Evolution of the Department of Oceanography Since 2008

3.1. Recent New TAMU and TAMUS Investments in Oceanography GERG 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).

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.

5-29 Chapter 6. Contributions to University Research and Educational Excellence

6.1 Alignment of Department strategic goals with institutional goals We 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.

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 through faculty in the Department diminishing scope or quality of work. of Oceanography, and one current We are currently working to broaden MARB IDP student is mentored by the array of pairings to include the an Oceanography faculty member. new Geographic Information Science Second, the Department also serves and Technology degree (hosted by the as a home for students pursuing the Department of Geography), the Master of Geosciences degree, an Civil Engineering BS, and the Ocean entirely course based degree program Engineering BS. without a thesis requirement.

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. 7-52 Thus the four ‘traditional’ core courses an issue of bias introduced by small remain a fundamental basis of our sample size.

7-53 Chapter 8. Student Profile and Contributions

8.1 Enrollment Overall 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 Diversity while female enrollment exceeds male enrollment in the MS program. The 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, 8-57 Figure 8-4.

8-63 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.

Vision To 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 Statement To 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. Values The 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. • Weaknesses o 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 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 Opportunities o 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 Threats o 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 1-68 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 department Why 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.

Education Challenge: 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 Capital Challenge: Recruit, diversify and retain faculty and staff Why 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 1-69 • Enhance the impact of our service course offerings in both quality and in the number of non-geoscience Aggies that we educate.

Action Plans Elevate 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 1-70 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 1-71 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 1-72 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.

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. Marine Pollution, graduate programs, Marine Resources Department, Cinvestav Merida, 1985 to date.

Research Leadership Gulf Integrated Spill Research Consoritium: Chief Scientist...... since 2011 Chief 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/Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI). This project includes 23 PIs at 10 different institutions, including the Departments of Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences, and Civil Engineering at Texas A&M. Socolofsky was lead author of the successful proposal. The vision of the GISR consortium is to 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 of mitigation plans, ultimately yielding significant environmental and financial savings. The Mission of the current block grant to GISR is to develop a coupled, tested modeling and observational system to track and predict the pathways of transforming hydrocarbons released from oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico and to validate this modeling system through new, targeted field and laboratory experiments. In addition to his role as chief scientist, Socolofsky’s research roles include applying and 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 seeps and a controlled injection of gas to simulate a blowout plume (to be conducted in summer 2014 and 2015, respectively).

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

Multiphase Plume Modeling: Invited Proposals...... since 2010 Through 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 wide range 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. He received similar invitations for multiple research projects from Chevron and Shell oil companies following the Deepwater Horizon disaster. In addition to his role as Chief Scientist on the GISR consortium, he is the lead near-field modeler for another BP/GoMRI Consortium, C-IMAGE, led by the University of South Florida. Socolofsky is a member of the American Petroleum Institute Technical 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 Appendix 2-173 2 generation operational spill model (GNOME). NOAA has also contracted Socolofsky to review their 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 was prevented 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, numerical modeling, 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 2006 Through funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Socolofsky developed a numerical modeling system to predict the dynamics of multiphase plumes in lakes and reservoirs, primarily for application 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). The validation of the model and application to deep ocean carbon dioxide sequestration was published in Socolofsky et al. (2008) and Socolofsky & Bhaumik (2008). At that time, the model was coded in Matlab and included only air, oxygen, or carbon dioxide as the multiphase fluid; the model was known as the Stratified Multiphase Integral Plume in Matlab (SMIP-M) model and was an open-source code.

During the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the model was upgraded to handle oil, natural gas and non-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 Shell International to study the behavior of gas hydrates and their effects on oil well blowouts; this work is published in Anderson et al. (2012).

Since receiving funding from the BP/Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) through the C-IMAGE consortium, the model has been significantly expanded and ported to the Python and Fortran 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 2-181

10 The modeling package includes extensive equations of state for petroleum fluids, methods to handle ambient water column data and for coupling to ocean circulation models, and numerical modules to predict 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 accidental blowout). Several publications on model methods and demonstrating applications of this new modeling 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 to the 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-IMAGE funding 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 also being used by Shell International and Chevron Energy Technology Corporation for exploration and internal risk assessment.

Shallow Water Enhanced Stability Calculator in Matlab (SWESC-M)...... since 2004 This is a state-of-the-art Matlab computer program for solving the linear stability problem for shallow water shear flows. The program has a complete Graphical User Interface (GUI) and User’s Manual, and is distributed under the GNU General Public License. SWESC-M incorporates many innovative automation and search methods developed by Socolofsky for finding critical stability points. It also provides for batch-processing and efficient post-processing. The program has been used by researchers at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany (Prof. G. Jirka), the Hong Kong University 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 this model 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 Fluid Mechanics, 593, pp. 1-32.).

Ph.D. Thesis: S. A. Socolofsky...... February 2001 “Laboratory Experiments of Multiphase Plumes in Stratification and Crossflow” MIT Dept. of Civ. & Envirn. Engrg. Thesis Supervisor: Dr. E. Eric Adams Committee Members: Drs. Ole S. Madsen & Heidi M. Nepf

Conducted laboratory experiments to help understand deep ocean (> 1000 m) multiphase plumes both for the design of ocean outfalls of CO2 (for carbon sequestration) and for clean-up planning of deepsea accidental oil-well blowouts. Experimental techniques included laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), shadowgraph visualization, salinity and dye concentration profiling, and crossflow generation using both a towed source and a recirculation pump. Numerical techniques included integral and box 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 modeling algorithm 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 range • from 4.13 (ENGR 111 in fall 2003) to 5.00 (OCEN 677 in spring 2007 and OCEN 475 in spring 2011) on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. His average evaluation score is 4.67 across all 28 course sections taught at Texas A&M University. Student written comments are mostly positive, focusing on his organization, passion for the • material, ability to communicate effectively, and the sense that Socolofsky cares that students learn 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 adding three 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 to the 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 Environmental • Engineering) to accommodate the growing class size (35 students in 2013). This includes a comprehensive set of notes and recorded lectures posted on the course website as well as innovative 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, and were each co-taught the first time with Dr. Kuang-An Chang (in 2004 and 2005). Since 2007, these courses have been taught in a stacked format (undergraduate and graduate sections meet together for thelecture; coursework is differentiated by level):

OCEN 475 Environmental Fluid Mechanics. Examines fluid and mass transport in naturally • occurring flows; topics include molecular and turbulent diffusion; dispersion; river, estuary, and ocean mixing; dissolution boundary layers; tidal mixing; offshore wastewater outfalls; introduction to environmental quality numerical modeling.

Development of Course Materials Textbook on Environmental Fluid Mechanics Socolofsky has written a textbook-style manuscript for a two-semester course on Environmental Fluid Mechanics together with Gerhard H. Jirka (professor from the University of Karlsruhe; since deceased). 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 in Environmental 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 a graduate-only section. The chapters for this section (Chapter2 8 through 11) are available for download 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 Websites Socolofsky 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. Each website 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 links to related resources, and, if allowed by copyright laws, downloadable handouts and other course materials.

Major University Service Associate Director: Offshore Technology Research Center, Texas A&M University Engineering Experiment Station ...... fall 2015-present Manage existing research project as directed and develop new initiatives.

Division and Program Head: Coastal and Ocean Engineering Division, Ocean Engineering Program, Zachry Department of Civil Engineering ...... fall 2011-2014 The Coastal and Ocean Engineering Division is one of four Divisions in the Zachry Department of Civil Engineering and represents nine faculty in the department. As Division Head, Socolofsky serves on the Department Head’s Council of Division Heads, administrates the approval process for a diverse range of paperwork, allocates division space among faculty, staff, visiting scholars, post doctoral researchers, and students, directs the activities of the Division Administrative Assistant and Senior Laboratory Technician, provides communication lines between the Department Head and Division Faculty, recommends appointments of Division Faculty to Division, Departmental, and external Committee service, assigns Division Faculty teaching loads, helps to perform Faculty and Staff annual performance reviews, and manages a diverse range of other day-to-day activities of the division.

The Ocean Engineering Program is an independent degree-granting program within the Zachry Department of Civil Engineering and includes an ABET accredited Bachelor of Science degree and graduate degrees of Master of Science, Master of Engineering, Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Engineering all in Ocean Engineering. As Head of the Ocean Engineering Program, Socolofsky manages an external, industrial advisory committee that meets twice per year with the Program faculty, 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 advisor set enrollment caps and admission standards for the graduate program, administrates a committee in charge of the ABET process (working together with Civil Engineering and the College), and oversees a Program curriculum committee, honors and awards committee, and scholarship and fellowships committee.

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

Assistant Department Head for Academic Programs: Zachry Department of Civil Engi- neering...... spring and summer 2011 Appendix 2-194 23 Assisted the Associate Department Head (Prof. Roger Smith) on activities related to the undergrad- uate program, including ABET accreditation, review of faculty teaching performance, interfacing with 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 Office within the Department. Also served on the Departmental Curriculum Committee and assisted the Department Head as a replacement on a number of University- and College-level committees when the 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, approval of petitions for course substitutions, administration of the academic advising process, setting of program standards, making and enforcing decisions on probation and expulsion, organization of new student conferences, and recruiting.

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

Service on Committees within the University Serve or have served on the following committees at the Departmental, College or University level:

1. Committee on the formation of a new Environmental, Water Resources, and Coastal Engi- neering Division within the Zachry Department of Civil Engineering, Chair, 2015–present. 2.
