  • Geological Sciences Department Annual Report 2018-19
    Geological Sciences Department Annual Report 2018-19 I. Student Success: Fall 2019 Cohort and Progress on Graduation Initiative 2025 Instructions to Department Cal Poly Pomona is committed to making evidenced-based decisions in support of our students’ success. The CPP Tableau Dashboards (http://www.cpp.edu/~irpa/dashboards/index.shtml) and CSU Student Success Dashboards (https://csusuccess.dashboards.calstate.edu/public/app/dashboard/dashboard-index.php) are tools to analyze our progress, foster cultures of inquiry, and help us identify and pursue those changes with the greatest potential to benefit our students. Using these tools, reflect on and summarize the Department’s efforts in AY 2018-19 to increase the retention and graduation rates of students, including efforts to close equity gaps for Pell-eligible and underrepresented minority students (URM). More specifically, focus on the following strategies, which were strategic priorities this year in alignment with the CSU Graduation Initiative. 1. Progress on improving graduation and retention rates (both freshman and transfer). • Where do you see the most significant challenge and the most improvement? What accounts for the progress and what strategies did you employ this year? Transfer graduation rates in Geology show an upward trend over the past 4 years. The 2-year rate exceeds the CSU goal, and the 4-year rate is approaching the goal. We attribute these positive results to concerted Department efforts to better advise students, and generally good preparation of students entering the major, with an intention of staying in Geology. Historically, our transfer cohort is larger than the freshman cohort, because Earth Science is rarely taught in local high schools First time freshmen graduation rates show an upward trajectory that currently exceeds the goal for 6-year graduation.

Methane emissions inventories for California’s South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB) have un- derestimated emissions from atmospheric measurements. To provide insight into the sources of the discrepancy, we analyse records of atmospheric trace gas total column abundances in the SoCAB starting in the late 1980s, to produce annual estimates of the ethane emissions from 1989–2015, 5 and methane emissions from 2007–2015. The first decade of measurements shows a rapid decline in ethane emissions coincident with decreasing natural gas and crude oil production in the basin. Be- tween 2010 and 2015, however, ethane emissions have grown gradually from about 13±5 Gg · yr−1 to about 23 ± 3 Gg · yr−1, despite the steady production of natural gas and oil over that time pe- riod.

    AB 617 Implementation: Updated Preliminary Community List from SCAQMD 1. Background/Introduction This report provides an update to the April 27, 2018 report to CARB, titled “Update on the AB 617 Community Identification Process: Preliminary Community List”. The South Coast Air Quality Management (SCAQMD) staff conducted extensive public outreach over the past several months and established a deadline of May 7, 2018 for communities to send us their self-recommendations for consideration in Year 1. This deadline was established to provide communities with sufficient time to submit their recommendations following the initial series of five AB 617 public meetings hosted by SCAQMD. This report provides an update on the self-recommendations received, and an updated preliminary community list that includes all self-recommended communities. As described in the previous report, the SCAQMD staff is using a broadly inclusive approach in drafting this preliminary list, which includes all communities that provided self-recommendations, communities that were recommended verbally during an SCAQMD AB 617 public meeting, and communities that California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff noted were requested for AB 617 during CARB public meetings (based on emails sent from CARB staff to SCAQMD staff). Based on this preliminary list, this report also provides a list of community organizations that have worked with the SCAQMD staff on various projects. The Appendix to this report includes all the self-recommendation forms and letters received by SCAQMD. 2. Community self-recommendations SCAQMD staff received a total of 148 self-recommendation forms or letters on or before May 16, 2018. This includes forms and letters sent directly to SCAQMD, as well as self- recommendations sent to CARB that were subsequently forwarded to SCAQMD staff.
