Scope and Content of Collection The collection contains biographical information about Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) faculty, staff, students, and other individuals associated with SIO or with the history of oceanography, collected by SIO Archives staff. The files include biographies, obituaries, bibliographies, correspondence, photographs, memoirs, oral histories, newspaper clippings, press releases, articles, and other sources of information. The collection is arranged in two separate series: materials collected before 1981, and materials collected from 1981 to 2013. The Library no longer adds to the biographical information files. MATERIALS COLLECTED PRE-1981: This section of the collection contains biographical materials, including personal papers and correspondence, gathered by Elizabeth Shor, the acting SIO archivist, from the 1970s to 1981. Shor arranged materials alphabetically by the surname of the subject. The bulk of the files contain correspondence and the personal and professional papers of individual SIO faculty and staff who transferred their materials to the Archives. Accordingly, the files are an important source of documention on early SIO faculty and administrative history, including the Marine Biological Association of San Diego. This portion of the collection also includes items such as oral history transcripts for Sir Edward Bullard and Carl Eckart, and a draft of Denis Fox's 1977 memoir, "My Yesteryears and Later Days in La Jolla, California." MATERIALS COLLECTED 1981-2013: This section contains biographical information including obituaries, memoirs, oral histories, press releases, biographies, articles, curriculum vitae, and newspaper clippings actively collected by Deborah Day, the subsequent SIO archivist. From 1981 on, the contents of donated personal or faculty papers were no longer incorporated into the Biographical Files. Materials in this section include published reference information, clippings/papers, or website printouts. Day continued the organizational method of filing documents alphabetically by the surname of the subject, and this order has been maintained. Administrative History The SIO Biographical Files were created and maintained by SIO Archives staff from the 1970s until 2013, and consist of two distinct sections that were previously cataloged as separate collections. Elizabeth Shor, the original acting SIO archivist and historian, started the first SIO Biographical Files collection in the late 1970s, organizing all material acquired by the SIO Archives into subject and biographical files. Correspondence was filed under the name of main correspondents in the Biographical Files, while papers determined to be pertinent to specific subjects were placed in the Subject Files (SAC 6). Shor maintained this system until her departure in 1981. Deborah Day, the second SIO archivist, closed Shor's Biographical Files in 1981 and launched her own, separately conceived Biographical Files collection, modelled on the first but no longer comprised of segments from individual's personal papers. Day's portion of the Biographical Files, collected primarily from 1981 to 2009, but containing material up through 2013, contains mostly published information about individuals associated with SIO. The Library no longer adds material to SAC 5. Publication Rights Publication rights are held by the creator(s) of documents in the collection. Acquisition Information Acquired 1976-2013. Processing Information The Biographical Files received major processing attention twice: first in 1981, and next in 2015. In 1981, SIO archivist Deborah Day closed the first part of the collection, which had been organized by Elizabeth Shor, and gave it the collection number AC 5 (now SAC 5). Day sorted through the files and attempted to isolate papers that would be more suitably preserved as independent collections of personal papers. Accordingly, Day removed materials from the SIO Biographical Files SAC 0005 2 Biographical Files belonging to the papers of Carl Leavitt Hubbs, William E. Ritter, Conrad Limbaugh, and the records of the Office of the Director from the Vaughan and Revelle periods, and reunited them with their respective main collections. The bulk of the material, where provenance could not be determined, was kept in SAC 5. As part of this work, Day created an extensive correspondence cross-referencing index to make the collection easier to use. The index listed names of individuals referenced in the contents of individual folders, including correspondents, signatories, or persons mentioned in letters or documents. This list was preserved and integrated into the newest version of the finding aid in 2015 to facilitate key-word searching. Every cross-referenced name has been added to the folder description where it was originally linked in the paper index. From 1981 to 2013, a second artificial collection of biographical files was collected and maintained by SIO Archives staff. The foundation of this second collection was ephemera, published obituaries, memoirs, press releases, biographical directories, and clippings that Day culled from the first portion of Shor's Biographical Files. Other materials were as added as Archives staff found relevant content in published sources. This second collection remained separate from SAC 5, though there was topical overlap, as an individual could have file(s) in both sections. To increase searchability and ease of use, the two Biographical Files collections were integrated in 2015 under one collection number, SAC 5. The historically separate sections of the Biographical Files are now represented in the current finding aid as two major sub-collections, yet are key-word searchable in one document. The general notes of the first major sub-collection were reviewed for accuracy in 2019. OFF-SITE STORAGE COLLECTION STORED OFF-SITE. ALLOW ONE WEEK FOR RETRIEVAL OF MATERIALS.

    Environmental Science Challenge for the Seventies NATIONAL SCIENCE BOARD 1971 IVAltIliJiTit4iU1J REPORT OF THE NATIONAL SCIENCE BOARD NATIONAL SCIENCE BOARD NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 1971 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402- Price 40 cents LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL January 31, 1971 My Dear Mr. President: It is an honor to transmit to you this Report, prepared in re­ sponse to Section 4(g) of the National Science Foundation Act, as amended by Public Law 90-407, which requires the National Sci­ ence Board to submit annually an appraisal of the status and health of science, as well as that of the related matters of manpower and other resources, in reports to be forwarded to the Congress. This is the third report of this series. In choosing environmental science as the topic of this Report, the National Science Board hopes to focus attention on a critical aspect of environmental concern, one that is frequently taken for granted, whose status is popularly considered to be equivalent to that of science generally, and yet one whose contribution to human welfare will assume rapidly growing importance during the decades immediately ahead. The National Science Board strongly supports the many recent efforts of the Executive Branch, the Congress, and other public and private organizations to deal with the bewildering array of environmental problems that confront us all. Many of these prob­ lems can be reduced in severity through the use of today's science and technology by an enlightened citizenry. This is especially true of many forms of pollution and environmental degradation result­ ing from overt acts of man.

  • Walter Heinrich Munk
    WALTER HEINRICH MUNK 19 october 1917 . 8 february 2019 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 163, NO. 3, SEPTEMBER 2019 biographical memoirs alter Heinrich Munk was a brilliant scholar and scientist who was considered one of the greatest oceanographers of W his time. He was born in Vienna, Austria in 1917 as the Austro-Hungarian Empire was declining and just before the death of one of its great artists, Gustav Klimt. Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, who later changed her name to Hedy Lamarr to accommodate her film career, was one of Walter’s childhood friends.1 Walter’s mother, Rega Brunner,2 the daughter of a wealthy Jewish banker, divorced Walter’s father in 1927 and married Dr. Rudolf Engelsberg in 1928. By age 14, Walter apparently had not distinguished himself in his school studies and announced that he intended to become a ski instructor. Walter later claimed that it was this that caused his mother to send him to work at a family bank in New York. The validity of this claim should be tempered by the political turmoil in Germany and its proximity to Austria. In any case, Walter left Vienna in 1932. In New York, he attended Silver Bay Preparatory School for Boys on Lake George and then became a lowly employee in the Cassel Bank, which was associated with the family’s Brunner Bank in New York. In the meantime, Walter restarted his education at Columbia’s Extension School. He greatly disliked the work at the bank and apparently made a number of mistakes, which didn’t endear him to the owners of the Cassel Bank.

  • Accession No. 91-20 Scripps Institution of Oceanography
    Accession No. 91-20 Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Processing Record ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revelle, Roger Randall Dougan 1909-1991 Roger Randall Dougan Revelle Papers, 1909-1991 Physical Description: 205 boxes (186 mss, 8 Lmss, 2 1/2 shoe boxes, 8 oversize), slides Brief Description: Papers of oceanographer Roger Revelle, documenting his work in science & public policy, MidPac & Capricorn Expeditions, Pacific bomb tests, carbon dioxide & climate change, NAS, ICSU, UNESCO, AAAS, IOC, UCSD, La Jolla Playhouse & the US Navy. Arrangement: Files from the six separate accessions of the Revelle Papers were brought together, combined, and arranged into nine series: Biographical; Correspondence; Organizations; University of California, San Diego; Subjects; Writings, Speeches, and Publications; Writings of Others; Calendars, Addresses and Telephone Memo Records; and Audiovisual. These series generally correspond to the series arrangement in another Revelle collection in SIO Archives [83- 47], with several additional series, but without a Harvard series. Files relating to Harvard University are located in the Organizations Series. The original order has been maintained whenever possible. However, Revelle's filing system was not consistent for the various office locations and over time. For example, in one accession, letters of recommendation and nomination were filed by individual's name, and in another accession filed chronologically by year. Files have been combined to create a single comprehensive series or subseries whenever possible. Revelle often kept two or more separate files for the same topic at different locations. This often resulted in duplicates and some overlap of dates within different folders. The separate folders were combined and items within folders interfiled into chronological order.
