MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Master of Science in geology program accepted its first class of M.S. seeking candidates in the fall semester of 1988. Between 2001 and 2007 the program has maintained an average enrollment of 26 degree-seeking students. A total of 55 students have matriculated in the program and 41 students have received degrees. The geology graduate program includes both a thesis and non-thesis option, both of which provide a foundation for employment in the environmental fields, mineral and energy industries, and government agencies. In addition, the thesis option prepares students for advanced study leading to the doctoral degree while the non- thesis option prepares students for professional licensure in geology.
Our graduate program can accommodate students with varied academic backgrounds, geological interests and career goals. We offer graduate students a diversity of research areas from which to choose within the traditional bounds of geology, as well as several non-traditional geology research programs. Our graduate program is designed to facilitate close supervision and interaction between faculty and students in research, which results in a high retention rate and timely completion of the degree. Our program places special emphasis on applied learning experiences and training combining state-of-the-art instrumentation in both field and classroom settings to prepare students for solving contemporary geologic problems and for the practice of advanced research in the geological sciences.
As the M.S. in geology program approaches its twentieth year, it continues to be a strong, quality program. The program successfully fulfills its training objectives as evidenced by the high percentage of graduates who either continue their education in Ph.D. programs or who gain employment in their field. The faculty and graduate students publish refereed articles in
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 iv internationally recognized journals and give presentations at regional, national, and international venues. The faculty is successful in securing external funding, having raised over $8.9 million in extramural funds over the past seven years.
Despite this general positive trend over the past seven years, there are significant needs and potential areas of concern that face the geology graduate program. Foremost among these is the lack of adequate space for teaching and research for geography and geology faculty and graduate students. Fourteen faculty currently share 838 sq. ft. of research laboratory space in
DeLoach Hall. Over 17 graduate students are crowded into less than 575 sq. ft. of office space.
The low level of graduate student support is also a concern. The dollar amount ($9500 per academic year) of graduate teaching assistantships (GTA) is inadequate given the high cost of living in Wilmington, NC. There are no GTAs and few research assistantships for geology graduate students in the summers. Our financial offers to prospective students are not competitive with other universities who offer more lucrative packages to superior students.
Tuition support is inadequate both for in-state and out-of-state students. Finally, staff and technical support is insufficient to meet the needs of the department.
The following report is a summary of the geology graduate program for the period 2001-
2007 and an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the program. We have made great strides in our geology graduate program since its inception in 1988 and we see great potential for its growth and continued success in the coming years.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 v 1. DEPARTMENT CHARACTERISTICS
1.1 History
The Department of Geography and Geology was established in 1970 and provided service courses in geology and geography for non-majors. In 1973, it became the Department of
Earth Sciences with course offerings in earth sciences, geology, geography, and pre-engineering surveying. Between 1973 and 1981 degree programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree in earth sciences with concentrations in earth science, geology, and geography were offered.
Programs leading to separate B.A. degrees in earth sciences, geography and geology, and the
Bachelor of Science degree in geology were initiated in 1982. The B.A. degree program in earth sciences was dropped in 1984 because of low enrollments. In fall 1988, the department enrolled its first students in the Master of Science in geology program. The interdisciplinary
Environmental Studies Program, which offered the B.A. degree in environmental studies and
B.S. degree in environmental science, was established in 1995. In fall 2002, the non-thesis option of the M.S. in geology was implemented. It was also at this time that the environmental studies program separated from the Earth Sciences Department to become the Environmental
Studies Department. In July 2006, the department was renamed the Department of Geography and Geology to increase campus awareness of the geography component of the department.
The department has grown from a faculty of two in 1970 to a faculty of 21 in 2007 that includes nine geologists, six marine scientists, and six geographers. Between 2001 and 2007 three faculty were hired, two at the assistant professor level and one full-time lecturer. Three assistant professors received tenure and were promoted to associate professor, and three associate professors were promoted to full professor. During the past seven years the department has also seen changes in the administration of the department. In summer 2003, the
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 1 department elected a new chair, and in spring 2005, appointed a new coordinator of the master’s in geology program.
The department was housed in Alderman Hall and Hoggard Hall from 1970 to 1973 and moved to the second floor of Friday Hall (former Marine Sciences Building) in 1974. The department moved to DeLoach Hall in the summer of 1997. Five faculty members moved to the
Center for Marine Science (CMS) at Myrtle Grove in the fall of 1999. In summer 2003 at the end of her term, the former chair was assigned office and laboratory at CMS, and in spring 2005, a new hire was also assigned office and lab space at the center. Currently six faculty members reside at CMS and 15 in DeLoach Hall.
1.2 Department of Geography and Geology Mission Statement
In harmony with the mission of the University, the Division of Academic Affairs, and the
College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Geography and Geology is dedicated to excellence in teaching, research, and professional service. The focus areas of the department include geography, geology, and the related marine and environmental sciences. The department is committed to integrating current technologies into all of its activities to implement this mission effectively.
The Department of Geography and Geology disseminates knowledge through high quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs that emphasize field, research, internship, and international educational opportunities. Faculty members conduct vigorous, innovative research programs that involve undergraduate and graduate students and contribute to the understanding and solution of important problems in geography and geology. Through a variety of professional services, the department provides resources in geography and geology to the public and scientific communities from the local to international level. The department
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 2 endeavors to promote the application of knowledge of all geography and geology to the betterment of humanity.
The specific goals of the department's mission are stated below:
1. Providing the highest quality undergraduate and graduate teaching geography and
geology through innovative, effective curricula that emphasize contemporary concepts
and technologies, and a variety of experiential learning opportunities.
2. Producing and disseminating new knowledge in geography and geology through
vigorous, creative research and scholarship, and to enhance student learning through
involvement in research.
3. Providing resources in geography and geology to the public and scientific communities
from a local to international level through a variety of professional services.
2. FINDINGS OF PREVIOUS REVIEWS
The previous review of the master's in geology program occurred in 2000-2001. The major findings and recommendations of the previous review, and the responses to them are briefly outlined below.
2.1 Findings of External Reviewers
The previous external review committee consisted of Dr. Scott Snyder, East Carolina
University and Dr. John Wehmiller, University of Delaware. These reviewers concluded that overall the M.S. in geology program is a solid, quality program characterized by a student- centered philosophy, strong leadership, healthy collegiality, shared governance, a realistic sense of mission, and adequate administrative support.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 3 The departmental response to the external review dated May 21, 2001 recognized the
“thorough, honest and helpful” assessment of the program and its needs, and agreed with nearly every finding and recommendation made by the external review committee. The departmental response specifically addressed four issues prominent in the external review: 1) faculty issues, 2) curricular issues, 3) student issues, and 4) space issues.
2.1.1 Faculty Issues
The faculty issues identified by the review team generally related in some way to workload. The consultants recognized that the geography and geology faculty were doing tasks that normally would be left to technicians or non-tenure track staff at other institutions. Such activities limited the time faculty had available for research. In May 2006, the department hired a part-time technician (shared with the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography). Her duties include the organization and maintenance of computers, peripherals and lab equipment.
No additional staff or technical positions have been provided.
The reviewers noted that research productivity is not evenly distributed among faculty and advocated a more flexible approach to workload assignments and faculty evaluation, and rewarding productive faculty with reassigned time and increased return of indirect costs. The department has not had the flexibility of variable assignments because all research-active faculty are expected to carry a teaching load of nine credit hours including equivalents each semester unless they are able to buy out salary with grant monies. Until recently the College of Arts and
Sciences workload policy did not allow assignment of credit hours equivalencies for grant acquisition or management. Return of indirect costs to principal investigators (PIs) was increased in 2004; however, the overall percentage remains very low (6%). Further, PIs with offices and laboratories at CMS receive only half the amount; the other half is returned to CMS.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 4 2.1.2 Curricular Issues
The external consultants recommended that the department reevaluate the graduate curriculum and offered several specific suggestions for consideration. These suggestions included developing a geological writing course and incorporating an environmental science
Initiative to increase enrollments, facilitate graduate recruitment, and complement existing research areas. The department responded by developing GLY 502: Technical Communication, which is now part of the core for the M.S. degree. Incorporating an environmental science
Initiative became a moot point when the environmental studies program evolved into the
Environmental Studies Department in 2002. However, in 2003 the department implemented the non-thesis option of the geology M.S. degree, which provides a foundation for employment in the environmental fields, mineral and energy industries, and government agencies and prepares students for licensure in geology.
2.1.3 Student Issues
The review process raised a number of issues relating to graduate student recruitment, training, and mentoring. Low levels of state financial support continue to restrict matriculation of competitive students. Since the last review, graduate teaching assistantships (GTA) stipends have been increased slightly (from $8500 to $9500). Limited in-state and out-of-state tuition remissions also continue to hinder recruitment efforts. The external consultants suggested that new students would benefit from a more formal orientation. In fall 2005, the department instituted such an orientation and also developed a 20-hour training workshop during the first half of the fall and spring semesters for all new graduate teaching assistants. In addition, the university's Center for Teaching Excellence now offers workshops for graduate teaching assistants during the academic year. In fall 2005, the department implemented an entrance exam
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 5 to assess student competency in the field. Results of the exam are used to identify and rectify deficiencies, and guide teaching assistant assignments. To reduce the median time to degree the department implemented two new policies: 1) to be in good standing students are required to complete a thesis prospectus and schedule the oral comprehensive exam by the beginning of the third semester; 2) students cannot register for thesis credit unless a prospectus is on file in the department. A two-year, semester-by-semester progress checklist was developed and is discussed at fall and spring graduate student meetings. In spring 2005, the department developed and executed a formal exit survey for all graduate students to assess student satisfaction with the program.
2.1.4 Space Issues
The reviewers recognized that the space available to the department was insufficient to support the teaching and research mission (with the exception of the Myrtle Grove research labs available to CMS faculty). Likewise, the on-campus space available for graduate student offices and research was deemed minimal.
Space issues continue to be at the forefront of the problems facing the geology M.S. program and to date there has been no relief. This issue has grown even more acute with the additional hires of two-tenure track faculty and one full-time lecturer, and the on-going search for a departmental chair.
3. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Although other M.S. geology programs exist with the University of North Carolina
(UNC) system, the program at UNC-Wilmington (UNCW) is unique given its marine and environmental emphases. Formal ties to the marine and environmental programs are fostered by
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 6 geography and geology graduate faculty who routinely teach courses for, and advise students in these interdisciplinary programs. Further, UNCW's coastal location facilitates coastal and marine geology research in a manner unequaled by other UNC institutions.
3.1 Graduate Program Educational Objectives
The master's in geology program includes a thesis and non-thesis option, both of which provide a foundation for employment in the environmental fields, mineral and energy industries, and government agencies. In addition, the thesis option prepares students for advanced study leading to the doctoral degree while the non-thesis option prepares students for professional licensure in geology.
Specific goals of the program are to provide advanced research and educational opportunities in the geological sciences, and to prepare geologists for solving contemporary geologic problems. Specific objectives are: 1) to develop research competence in geology; 2) to develop professional competence in the assessment of water, energy and mineral resource potentials; 3) to develop a level of research competence in geology that encourages continued effort towards the doctoral degree; and, 4) to provide the scientific community with meaningful geological data. As described in Section 7 below, our program successfully fulfills its training objectives as evidenced by the high percentage of graduates who either continue their education in Ph.D. programs or who gain employment in their field.
3.2 Degree Requirements
3.2.1 Degree Requirements of the Thesis Option
1. The thesis program requires at least 30 semester hours of graduate credit, with a
maximum of six credit hours for the thesis, three credit hours for seminars, and six
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 7 credit hours of directed independent study (GLY 591). Each student must complete
GLY 501: Research Methods and GLY 502: Technical Communications (See
Appendix III for description of core courses).
2. A maximum of six semester hours of graduate credit may be transferred from another
accredited institution. Grades earned on transfer work must be equivalent to "B" or
better. A minimum of 24 semester hours of graduate courses must be completed at
UNCW including both course work and thesis. At least 18 semester hours must be
completed in geology.
3. Each student must successfully complete a comprehensive oral examination prior to
registering for thesis hours.
4. Each student must complete an approved course of study including an approved thesis
prospectus within five years of the date of first registration for graduate study.
5. Each student must present and defend a thesis, based on original research, acceptable
to the committee, prior to graduation. The thesis defense is open to the public.
3.2.2 Degree Requirements for the Non-Thesis Option
1. The non-thesis option program requires 36 semester hours of graduate credit, with a
maximum of 3 credits for internship or final project, 3 credit hours for seminars, and 6
credit hours of directed studies.
2. A maximum of 6 semester hours of graduate credit may be transferred from another
accredited institution. Grades earned on transfer work must be equivalent to “B” or
better. A minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate courses must be completed at
UNCW including course work, internships and final project. Twenty-seven semester
hours must be completed in the department.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 8 3. Each student must complete the following core curriculum: GLY 501. GLY 502,
GLY 525, GLY 526, GLY 565, GGY 522, and GLY 597 or GLY 598 (See Appendix
III for description of core courses).
4. Each student will take a written comprehensive examination after the successful
completion of all required coursework with the exception of GLY 597 and GLY 598.
5. Each student must complete either GLY 597 or GLY598, and prepare and present a
scholarly paper/report acceptable to the committee, prior to graduation. A final
seminar is required.
3.3 Grades Required
The following system is used to indicate performance of graduate students in their courses (plus (+) and (-) minus grades may be awarded at the discretion of the faculty):
A Excellent A- B+ B Completely Satisfactory B- S - Satisfactory progress on thesis C+ I - Work Incomplete C Minimally Acceptable U - Unsatisfactory progress on thesis F Failure WP - Withdraw Passing
Students must maintain a 3.0 "B" average to remain in good standing in the program.
Students who fall below a 3.0 grade point average are placed on probation and have three subsequent courses to raise their GPA to 3.0 or may be dismissed from the program. A student who receives any grade of "F" is ineligible to continue graduate study. In addition, a student who receives grades of "C" on three courses is ineligible for additional graduate study.
A grade of "I" is assigned if the instructor determines that exceptional circumstances justify providing additional time to complete course work. The instructor may extend the
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 9 deadline for any reasonable period not to exceed one year and shall inform the student of the deadline in writing. A copy of this notification should be sent to the dean of the Graduate School.
The incomplete grade will automatically become an "F" unless a grade change is submitted by the instructor to the Graduate School within 12 months. Once submitted by faculty grades can be changed only by the dean of the Graduate School in cases of arithmetical or clerical errors or as a result of grade protest. A graduate student who is required to take undergraduate courses for any reason must earn a grade of "B" or better in order to maintain eligibility for graduate study. Credit received for undergraduate courses does not contribute to the 30 hours of required graduate coursework.
3.4 Transfer Credits and Residency Requirements
A minimum of 24 hours of graduate courses must be completed at UNCW including both course work and thesis. A maximum of six semester hours of graduate credit may be transferred from another accredited institution. Grades earned on transfer work must be equivalent to "B" or better. A graduate student who wishes to obtain credit for courses taken elsewhere must obtain prior approval from both the department and the dean of the Graduate School.
3.5 Other Requirements
A faculty committee, composed of a chair and at least two other members of the Graduate
Faculty, is established for each student. At least two committee members, including the advisor
(chair), should be from the geography and geology faculty. The committee should be formed within the first two semesters of residence.
The elective courses taken in geology and other disciplines are mutually selected by the student and the major advisor early in the program. The chosen courses provide the student with
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 10 a broad, basic knowledge of the field in addition to the specialty information necessary to complete his or her research program. The department currently has five informal tracks within which students typically pursue their graduate research: basin analysis and paleontology, coastal and estuarine processes, petrology and structural analysis, oceanography/marine geology and geophysics, and surface and subsurface hydrology. The program typically offers five to eight sections of graduate courses per semester, selected to meet the needs of students in each of the five research areas and the non-thesis option. Many courses are taught on an every-other-year rotating basis. Enrollment in the graduate courses typically ranges from three to 15 students
(Appendix I).
3.6 Undergraduate Program Profile
The Department of Geography and Geology offers three undergraduate degree programs
(B.S. geology, B.A. geology, and B.A. geography). In addition, undergraduate students may also obtain minors in geography, geology, or oceanography. Education majors or undergraduate students interested in K-12 teaching may complete a teacher licensure in earth sciences (geology only) as part of the UNCW teacher education program (for specifics see the Watson School of
Education).
The undergraduate degree programs consist of a group of core courses (26 hours – B. A. geography; 34-38 hours – B.A. geology; 64 hours – B.S. geology), which are followed by additional course work in the particular area of interest (25 hours – B.A. geography; 15 hours –
B.A. geology; 7 hours – B.S. geology). All degrees require a 2.00 (‘C’) or better average on all courses taken within the department and for the required courses above the 199-level. In addition, all degree programs require an oral communication and computer competency course.
The minor in geography requires a core of 13 hours with an additional nine hours in geography
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 11 (six hours of which must be above 300-level). The minor in geology requires 20 hours of core courses with an additional three to four hours above the 300-level. The minor in oceanography requires 21-22 hours with seven courses above the 300-level. The department also offers a certificate in geographic information science, which requires a core of 12 hours with an additional 4 hours above the 300-level.
The teaching licensure in earth sciences requires completion of the teacher education program from the Watson School of Education and the completion of the degree requirements in geology (either B.A. or B.S.) with the specification of certain courses that are needed for licensure in North Carolina.
The Department of Geography and Geology offers a series of undergraduate courses
(both lecture and lecture with laboratory), which are taken by non-majors as part of the Basic
Studies requirement of the university. These courses, mainly at the 100-level, are used to fulfill some of the requirements in natural science and mathematical sciences as well as in the social and behavioral sciences.
3.6.1 Undergraduate Course Enrollment and Class Size
Course enrollment and class size for Fall 2001 to Fall 2007 are shown in Appendix II. In summary, the B.A. geography program serves about 711 students (average) per regular semester with an average of 36 students per summer semester. Almost 75% of these students were completing geography courses that are part of the Basic Studies requirements for undergraduate degrees at UNCW. The B.A. and B.S. geology program serves about 799 students (average) per regular semester with an average of 25 students per summer semester. Approximately 88% of these students were completing geology courses that are part of the Basic Studies requirements for undergraduate degrees at UNCW. This indicates that, in a regular semester, the Department
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 12 of Geography and Geology serves about 1510 undergraduate students or (assuming a university enrollment of 10711 students) about 14% of the undergraduate students enrolled at UNCW.
3.6.2 Profile of Current Undergraduates
Currently (fall 2006) the geography B.A. program has 38 declared majors and seven students following the minor in geography. For the geology B.A. program, there are 16 declared majors while the B.S. geology program has 13 declared majors. There are two students following the minor in geology and five students following the minor in oceanography. Thirty five percent of the undergraduate students who have declared a major or minor in the programs offered by the Department of Geography and Geology are female. There are three minority students (1 African-American, 2 Native Americans) in the department and all are geography students.
4. CERTIFICATION, INTERDISCIPLINARY, AND OTHER PROGRAMS
Various faculty members from the Department of Geography and Geology are involved in three graduate degree programs other than the geology graduate program: Master of Science in marine science, the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, and the doctoral program in marine biology.
4.1 Master of Science in Marine Science
The College of Arts and Sciences, in conjunction with CMS, oversees an interdisciplinary program of study leading to the Master of Science degree in marine science. The educational objectives of this degree program are 1) to provide a broad interdisciplinary understanding of marine science to students having strong undergraduate training in mathematics and the sciences; and 2) to develop skills that will enable these students to utilize this knowledge to solve complex
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 13 marine environmental problems. These problem-solving skills will provide the foundation for future contributions by the graduates in marine-related industries, environmental management, teaching, research, and other marine-oriented careers. Students will also be prepared to undertake additional graduate study in a doctoral program. Thirty-six students (in fall 2006) are enrolled in the program and eleven geography and geology faculty (Grindlay, Abrams, Leonard, Cleary,
Laws, Thayer, Harris, Kelley, Halls, Tobias, Gamble) teach courses that are included as part of the marine science M.S. program curriculum. Several courses offered in the geology M.S. program serve as foundations for the marine science graduate program. For example, GLY550
(Marine Geology) and GLY501 (Methods in Scientific Research) are required of all students in the marine science program who are pursing geological studies. Six geography and geology faculty (Abrams, Cleary, Halls, Grindlay, Gamble, Tobias) are currently advising students in this program.
4.2 Master of Arts in Liberal Studies
The College of Arts and Sciences, School of Nursing, Watson School of Education and the Cameron School of Business offer a program that leads to the Master of Arts in Liberal
Studies (MALS). This program is for students who wish to design a personalized curriculum of interdisciplinary graduate study. Courses are selected that will expand their interests and deepen their understanding of themselves, their society and the environment. This program reflects an older, cultural tradition of scholarship, which liberally educates the whole person, providing breadth and depth, but not applying directly to a career or vocation. The major objective of this program is to offer highly motivated, intellectually prepared adult learners an opportunity to explore the questions and issues that are important to them and society. Eighty-eight students are currently (fall 2006) enrolled in the program and three geography and geology faculty (Ainsley,
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 14 Argenbright and Hines) teach courses that are included as part of the MALS curriculum and/or advise students in this program.
4.3 Doctor of Philosophy in Marine Biology
The Department of Biology and Marine Biology at UNCW offers courses of study leading a Doctor of Philosophy degree in marine biology. Ten students (in fall 2006) are enrolled in the program. One geography and geology faculty member (Kelley) is co-advising a graduate student in this program.
5. FACILITIES
5.1 Classroom Facilities
The Department of Geography and Geology is located in DeLoach Hall. The department moved into DeLoach Hall in August 1997 after a 1.5 million-dollar renovation project. The department is assigned 42 rooms (15,570 sq. ft.). Presently there are two classrooms and five teaching laboratories utilized for graduate geology instruction. The two traditional classrooms accommodate 141 students and a seminar/meeting room accommodates approximately 16 students.
All of the rooms including the teaching laboratories in DeLoach Hall are equipped with
Internet access ports. Wireless access is available to only about 60% of the lecture rooms, teaching laboratories, or faculty/staff offices due to inadequate placement of wireless routers
(installed by UNCW Information Technology Systems Division). Both classrooms and two of the five teaching laboratories have multimedia projectors and dedicated Windows-based Internet capable computers. Two additional classrooms are available for graduate instruction at CMS and
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 15 accommodate approximately 45 students. These rooms are also Internet accessible. The combined teaching laboratories accommodate up to 116 students.
The teaching laboratories for graduate instruction include:
The Spatial Analysis Laboratory: The Spatial Analysis Laboratory, directed by Dr.
Joanne Halls, was funded in 1999 and opened in January 2000. The 636 sq. ft. laboratory is housed in DeLoach Hall and is equipped with 21 workstations with an ESRI site license
(ArcView 3.3 and ArcGIS-Arc/INFO 9.2), ERDAS Imagine (9.1) image processing software,
IDRISI GIS software, and S-PLUS spatial statistics software. Peripherals include a large format
HP 1055 plotter, HP high-resolution color printer, and high-resolution Epson color scanner. To network the SAL we have a new Dell Poweredge 2850 server that houses data, monitors the network, and runs backups.
Mineralogy Laboratory: The Mineralogy Laboratory is a 738 sq. ft lab located on the second floor of DeLoach Hall. The lab is equipped with workspace for a maximum of 16 students. The lab contains equipment to conduct specific gravity, density, and materials properties and investigations of minerals and rocks. There are two WINDOWS-platform computers networked to the university server. Although labeled as the mineralogy laboratory, this teaching laboratory is utilized by a variety of other courses as classroom and laboratory teaching space. Dr. David Blake and Dr. Michael S. Smith supervise the Mineralogy Laboratory.
Sedimentology Laboratory: The Sedimentology Laboratory is a 472 sq. ft. laboratory located on the second floor of DeLoach Hall. The lab contains equipment and supplies needed to conduct grain size and compositional analyses. Specific items include: glassware, drying ovens, top- loading and analytical balances, muffle furnaces, deionized water, sieves, sieve shakers, a
Ro-Tap, centrifuge, acid hoods, hydrometers, magnetic stirrers, hotplates, vacuum pumps and
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 16 filtration apparatus. Dr. Michael Benedetti and Yvonne Marsan, departmental lab manager, supervise this laboratory.
Structural/Stratigraphy/Paleontology Laboratory: The Structural Geology –
Stratigraphy - Paleontology Laboratory is 994 sq. ft. room on the first floor of DeLoach Hall.
The lab is equipped with two Windows-platform PCs and one inkjet printer, one fume hood, one magnetic separator, several large tables and a sink. The laboratory also includes microscopes and the invertebrate paleo/petrography teaching collection. Dr. John Huntsman and Dr. William
Harris supervise this laboratory.
Petrology Laboratory: The Petrology Laboratory (676 sq. ft.) is located on the second floor of DeLoach Hall. The lab is equipped with eleven Olympus BH-2 petrographic microscopes, three Leica Dm EP petrographic microscopes, one that is equipped with a digital camera (to connect to a laptop or desktop computer), three Olympus BX 50 petrographic microscopes, a projecting microscope, two Windows-platform computers, hundreds of thin sections, and several tons of rock samples. Additional thin sections can be made in house in the
Petrology Preparation Lab (see below). Although labeled as the Petrology Laboratory, this teaching laboratory is utilized by a variety of other courses as classroom and laboratory teaching space. Dr. David Blake and Dr. Michael S. Smith supervise the Petrology Laboratory.
5.2 Research Facilities
The research space available to faculty in DeLoach Hall is inadequate for effective conduct of research. Research and related activities typically take place in teaching laboratories, three research laboratories, and faculty offices. The 838 sq. ft. of research laboratory space in
DeLoach Hall is shared by14 faculty (60 sq.ft. /faculty). In contrast, the research space available to faculty housed at CMS is adequate for effective conduct of research. The six
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 17 geography and geology faculty members at CMS each have access to a research laboratory of
520 sq. ft. and office space of 100 sq. ft. In addition, several general-use laboratories are available to faculty at CMS. Those most regularly used by geography and geology faculty include a Telemetry Laboratory, Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer Laboratory and Sediment
Analysis Laboratory. Geography and geology faculty conducting marine-related research also has access to a research vessel fleet with vessels ranging in size from 13ft to 68ft.
On the main campus of UNCW and at CMS several laboratories with various research focuses have been developed and provide specific support (mainly equipment) for Geography and Geology faculty and graduate students. A description of these laboratories follows:
5.2.1 DeLoach Hall
Petrology Preparation Laboratory: A subset of geology graduate faculty teach courses and conduct research involving the petrologic evaluation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Topical interests are varied and the Petrology Preparation Laboratory contains equipment that can facilitate investigative and experiential learning methodologies on a variety of materials from surface sediments to saprolite and crystalline rocks, as well as individual fossil, mineral, and other inorganic/organic specimens. The lab has also facilitated sample preparation for faculty and students in biology and marine biology, anthropology, and
CMS, as well as faculty from UNC Pembroke. The main laboratory tasks are to: 1) provide an area for detailed descriptive geometric and kinematic analyses of material specimens, 2) prepare samples for mesoscale to microscale petrographic analysis, and 3) prepare powdered samples for geochemical analysis.
Approximately 770 sq.ft. of Room 107 in the Academic Support Building on the east side of campus contains a variety of electrical equipment, work tables, and limited sample storage
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 18 space. The laboratory is located in a secure workroom in the rear of the building that has a keyed access supervised by the director, Dr. David E. Blake. The director, through the administrative staff, assigns keys to faculty and graduate students who plan to use the laboratory as part of their teaching responsibilities, thesis or individual faculty research efforts, or special needs projects.
Each user must make themselves aware of the equipment capabilities, support substances such as lubricants, glues, and abrasives, and general safety procedures in order to be certified to operate the equipment, and must be made aware of the proper use and cleanup of the lab by the director or a trained assistant. A written set of policies and procedures for laboratory equipment operation is provided to each new user. A sign-up sheet registers the faculty and graduate students who utilize the lab on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis in order to monitor unusual equipment wear and collateral issues including routine maintenance and supplies. There is also a
60 sq. ft. support outbuilding (the former ROTC command center trailer) located immediately adjacent to the Academic Support Building in which graduate student theses rocks are archived.
That building is currently at capacity and is in a dilapidated condition, needing either repair or replacement, especially to the flooring. This space is secured by a combination padlock on the door and a wooden exterior fence that can be locked if necessary.
The laboratory equipment includes a(n) 18" Covington slab saw, 10" Felker and
Highland Park trim saws, 8" Hillquist trim saw, Buehler Isomet 4" low speed trim saw, Redlands
16" horizontal lapping unit, Buehler Ecomet I polisher/grinder, Hillquist cut-off saw and grinder,
6-Ton hydraulic rock splitter, Sepor Jaw Crusher, Spec 8510 alumino-ceramic puck shatterbox,
Highland Park Vi-Bro-Lap, Fisher Scientific ultrasonic cleaner, Buehler vacuum impregnation container and Reliance vacuum pump, Gast Roc-R vacuum pump and air compressor, Speedaire
1 HP 3 Gallon air compressor, Precision Scientific Thelco General Purpose drying oven,
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 19 Thermolyne Extra-Capacity hotplate, one binocular BH-2 Olympus polarized microscope and one American Optical binocular specimen light microscope, and a variety of collateral tools and supplies. Supporting supplies are housed on benches or in a variety of cabinets that includes one flammable and one acid cabinet. In addition, two fume hoods located in the Acid Laboratory on second floor DeLoach Hall are used to facilitate hydrofluoric acid work required to stain rock samples for modal analysis. Within this facility, a spectrum of geology and marine science graduate students, and geology undergraduate students and faculty have the capability of preparing a variety of petrographic and geochemical samples for qualitative and quantitative analyses.
Soils Analysis and Acid Laboratories: The Soils Analysis and Acid Laboratories represents 502 sq. ft. space located on the second floor of DeLoach Hall that is split into two separate (and small) laboratories. This lab is intended for faculty research and supervised student research and is directed by Dr. Michael Benedetti with maintenance and operation assistance by
Ms. Yvonne Marsan, departmental lab manager. The lab is equipped with an eye wash/shower station, and has access to a fire blanket mounted in room 218.
The Soil Analysis Lab (DL 217) has a double-basin sink and an attached lab bench. The
lockers in this room are intended for storage of equipment and materials used by faculty in
the Soils and Sedimentology Lab. The room has a distilled water boiler system, one large
fume hood, a sonic sifter, pH meter, magnetic stirrer, hot plates, desiccator, one precision
balance, and assorted glassware. High-cost supplies such as hydrometers and specialized
glassware are stored in the faculty lockers. Student access to this room is supervised to
ensure security.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 20 The Acid Lab (DL 215) is intended for faculty and graduate student research, storage of
hazardous chemicals, and loud or bulky equipment. The room houses a perchloric-rated fume
hood, 2 floor-to-ceiling fume hoods, 2 regular fume hoods, a centrifuge, and a Ro-Tap sieve
shaker in addition to a double-basin sink and two long lab benches. Concentrated acids and
other aqueous chemicals are stored in the fume hoods, and powered chemicals are stored in
two wall-mounted cabinets. This equipment is used by faculty or by students with proper
training and supervision.
Clean Room: On first floor DeLoach Hall is a small (177 sq. ft.), single hood clean laboratory originally constructed for isotope separation work. It is a positive pressure, HEPA filtered room with a dual door storage entrance. It contains a HF rated fume hood (and vented acid storage locker) and associated safety equipment (acid eyewash station and shower). The small size of the room precludes its use as an undergraduate laboratory and it is used primarily for graduate student research and sample preparation for the Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer
Laboratory, and occasionally for acid staining and etching using HF of thin-sections. This laboratory is not accessible to the disabled. Dr. Craig Tobias supervises this laboratory.
Environmental Hydrogeology Laboratory: The Environmental Hydrogeology
Laboratory (DL212A) is a small room (~170 sq. ft.) that was originally a lecture preparation room for the adjacent classroom which is now heavily used for physics lecture classes. Because of the close proximity to the classroom and the fact that the wall that separates the two rooms is not soundproof, it is not possible to carry on a normal conversation or engage in noisy experimental setup in the laboratory without being heard in the lecture room. This severely limits research and teaching activities in the lab during times when class is in session. The small size of the room is another factor prohibiting the use of the room for teaching purposes. Thus, the room
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 21 is primarily used for the storage of hydrogeology field equipment such as sampling pumps, bailers, water quality meters, and soil sampling devices, as well as laboratory equipment like soil columns, a balance, soil moisture probes, time domain reflectometry equipment, dataloggers, and a pressure plate apparatus. Though the lab has limited counter space, it does have a sink so it is also used for undergraduate and graduate student research. Dr. Eric Henry supervises the laboratory.
X-ray Diffraction Laboratory: The Department of Geography and Geology houses a small (~100 sq. ft.) Radiation Safety approved research laboratory for the use of X-rays on the first floor of DeLoach Hall. The instrument is a Rigaku MiniFlex II Desktop and Portable powder X-ray diffraction system and is equipped with a six-position sample changer with sample spin that allows for unattended measurements with the option of sample rotation during measurement. This instrument has minimal power requirements and a self-contained cooling system and is used to identify and quantify minerals phases. The system is equipped with the latest Jade+ 8.0 Analysis software with profile fitting, and extensive search/match analysis software and a database with 120,000 compounds and over 95,000 inorganic phases. After radiation safety training by the campus Radiation and Biological Safety Officer and instrument training by designated department faculty members, other faculty members and graduate students use the instrument in their research. Drs. William B. Harris and Paul Thayer supervise this laboratory.
Photographic Darkroom: There is a small (60 sq. ft.) photographic darkroom in
DeLoach Hall that is shared with the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography. In this facility (2nd floor DeLoach Hall; available only to faculty, staff and geology graduate students) is the basic equipment of B/W film development and illustration preparation (camera stand and
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 22 color-balanced lighting). Maintenance and supplies for this laboratory are derived from the
Department of Geography and Geology annual budget. This laboratory is not accessible to the disabled.

Plus IRMS configured with a unique 10-collector array that permits a variety of stable isotopic analyses on numerous sample matrices. The IRMS is interfaced with an Elemental Analyzer,
Gas Bench, Total Organic Carbon Analyzer, and Denitrifier Kit, peripherals. It is a core facility available for use to all departments at UNCW, and a focal point for collaboration outside
UNCW. As such, its existence serves to bolster the stature of UNCW in the scientific community and facilitates research by PIs, graduate students, and undergraduates. The IRMS
Laboratory is currently integrated into approximately a dozen graduate research projects in the geography and geology, chemistry, and biology and marine biology departments.
Invertebrate Paleontology Laboratory: The Invertebrate Paleontology Laboratory contains 520 sq. ft. of space at CMS dedicated to invertebrate paleontology research. The
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 24 laboratory is supervised by Dr. Patricia Kelley. The laboratory includes sample preparation and curation space, aquarium facilities, and houses Kelley’s research collection of Recent and fossil molluscs from the US Coastal Plain, Mexico, and Iceland.
5.2.3 Other
Storage Building: The department also maintains approximately 200 sq. ft. of storage space in an off-campus storage facility. The department uses departmental funds to rent this facility from a commercial provider on an annual basis. At present, this space is filled to capacity.
5.3 Support Facilities
Randall Library is a 132,823 sq. ft. facility holding over 468,000 bound volumes and over
700,000 items on microfiche/microfilm. The library subscribes to 4,261 journals annually, of which approximately 133 are journals devoted to research, theory, and applications in geography and geology. However, with increasing costs for university journal subscriptions as well as lack of space to hold these materials, the number of actual journals in the library is decreasing. This decrease in paper copies is offset by the recent increase in journal availability via PDF electronic copies. The library subscribes to numerous online databases including EBSCOhost, JSTOR,
UnCover Web, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, GEOBASE, ScienceDirect, GeoRef, WEB of
Science, WorldCat and ProQuest’s Periodical Abstracts-Research II. It also maintains a monthly
Table of Contents service for geography and geology faculty and will duplicate (or scan into
PDF format) selected articles from that monthly list at no cost to faculty. The annual Department of Geography and Geology library allotment is approximately $4000 for books and for audio-
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 25 visual materials. Every new faculty member can request that library subscribe two new journals, not exceeding a total of $350 in subscription costs.
The library maintains 25 public computer workstations for catalog and Internet searches.
It also houses a separate computer laboratory available only to graduate students. The Graduate
Computer Laboratory is located on the second floor of Randall Library. Equipment and software available include: 10 Window-based IBM-compatible computers all networked to a laser printer, color inkjet printer attached to one computer, Polaroid Digital Palette for making 35 mm slides,
Minolta 35 mm slide scanner for making digital copies of slides, Netscape, Microsoft Explorer,
Windows 2007/Vista and Office, Endnote, SPSS, and several other programs. The Information
Technology Systems Division (ITSD) manages this facility. A 24-hour accessible computer laboratory, open to both graduate and undergraduates and operated by ITSD, is also housed in
Randall Library and is equipped with 49 computer stations, laser printers and a flatbed color scanner. In addition, ITSD supervises five computer laboratories on the UNCW campus, containing a total of approximately 150 computers that are open to both graduate and undergraduate students. All on-campus computer labs contain Windows-based IBM-compatible computers with Pentium III processors and from one to three printers. All computers are connected to the Internet and are equipped with word processing, spreadsheet, graphics, and web-browser software. The hours of operation of these labs range from 50 to 120 hours per week. Each lab is staffed with one or two full-time assistants. In addition, the ITSD help desk is open over 40 hours per week and is staffed with two to three technical assistants.
Geology graduate students use two small, linked rooms in DeLoach Hall (575 sq. ft.) as shared office space. This space contains 18 desks and is used by some students as a study area and to hold office hours by those serving as teaching assistants. Four Window-based IBM-
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 26 compatible computers with word-processing, graphics, presentation, and statistical software as well as a laser printer are available for their use in this space. Graduate students also have access to the Cartography Laboratory in DeLoach Hall that is equipped with 12 Window-based IBM- compatible computers with word-processing, graphics, presentation, and statistical software, a color scanner, a laser printer and a large-format color plotter. In some cases, geology graduate students also have office/desk space in individual faculty offices or research space laboratories in
DeLoach Hall and at CMS.
The Department of Geography and Geology owns two TV/VCR set-ups, two multimedia units and eight slide projectors. Each of these items is modular and stored in the classrooms in which it is most regularly used. In addition, five of the teaching laboratories/lecture rooms have been set up with ceiling mounted SONY multimedia projector equipment controlled by a
Window-based IBM-compatible computer with appropriate software and Internet connection.
This equipment is used primarily for teaching (undergraduate and graduate) but is available to graduate students on a limited basis for oral presentations/theses defenses.
The Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs (ORSSP) at UNCW is available to support faculty and graduate students in obtaining grants and contracts. Seed money for obtaining grants and for pilot projects is available through ORSSP, through CMS and through the College of Arts and Sciences to tenure-track faculty. In addition, the ORSSP provides assistance with internal and sponsor forms and with duplicating and binding services for grant and contract submissions.

6.2 Non-Tenure Track Faculty
Historically non-tenure track faculty were hired by the department to teach Basic Studies or degree-required courses in the department due to the unavailability of tenure-track faculty to teach the courses. This occurs when a tenure-track faculty member has left the university and the department is in the process of filling the vacancy. These positions typically were for a semester or academic year period.
During the 2004-2005 academic year Robert Argenbright took a one-year leave of absence and a temporary instructor was hired during his absence. A part-time instructor was hired to teach one course in spring 2007 to give Joanne Halls a course reduction as part of a proposal development fellowship she received. Greg Deitl was hired as a visiting assistant
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 30 research professor at CMS, with a special two-year appointment in geology, and taught/team- taught a few geology classes during 2003-2004.
Mr. Roger Shew has served intermittently as a part-time lecturer in the department since
1999. In 2005-2006 the department conducted an external search for a geoscience educator and hired Mr. Shew for the position. His current position is as a full-time, permanent lecturer with a renewable one-year contract. Mr. Shew has a M.S. degree in geology and a M.Ed. degree in geoscience education.
Graduate students teach laboratory sections in support of GGY 130 (Physical
Geography), GLY 101 (Physical Geology), and GLY 120 (Environmental Geology).

Table 1. Applicant pool information for academic years 2001-2007.
Forty two percent of the matriculating students were female (Table 2). The department has had some success attracting underrepresented minority applicants. Since 2001, the program has matriculated six minority students, representing 11% of the total (Table 2). Over 56% of the matriculated students in the Master of Science in geology program in the last seven years were from out of state (Table 2). The majority of the out-of-state students come from Atlantic seaboard states, with a few international students coming from as far away as Puerto Rico, South
Africa, Algeria and Brazil. The program has enrolled students from the following NC undergraduate institutions: Western Carolina University, UNC Chapel Hill, and UNCW, and

The UNCW Graduate School and the Department of Geography and Geology requires
that students seeking admission to the graduate program in geology must hold a bachelor's
degree from an accredited college or university in this country or its equivalent in a foreign
institution based on a four -year program. In addition the applicant must have a strong overall
academic record with a "B" average in the basic courses prerequisite to geology, satisfactory
scores on the Graduate Record Examination, two semesters each of chemistry, calculus and
physics, and a working knowledge of physical and historical geology. Exceptions to these
entrance requirements have been made in extenuating circumstances such as, but not limited to,
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 33 extensive work or research experience, excellent letters of recommendation, or for students demonstrating special aptitudes or skills. Under these conditions, students may be accepted
"provisionally" into the program. Provisional students are expected to remedy any deficiencies in their first year and to maintain a "B" average in all courses attempted at UNCW.
Table 3 lists the average last 60 hrs GPA and GRE scores each year for students matriculating in the geology M.S. program between 2001 and 2007. The average GPA for all matriculating students is 3.29. The average GRE scores are: verbal - 493, quantitative - 592, analyticalold – 584, analyticalnew – 4.2. The mean verbal GRE scores for current students and graduates are in the 55-60 percentile, only slightly below the reported average score (496) for all students in the field of geology who have taken the GRE (
(625) for students in this field. The reported analytical GRE scores are in the 33-54 percentile and are very close to the mean reported score for similar students (4.3). In the last three years, we have seen an improvement in the GRE verbal score. This is viewed as a very positive trend, as faculty feel strong verbal/written skills as essential to the timely and successful completion of the master's degree.

MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 34 7.2 Recruitment Efforts
The master's in geology program recruits students through maintaining a current and interesting web site (http://www.uncw.edu/earsci), which includes a page with information and photos of current students and one for graduates including their placement upon graduation. This web site describes our program and has links to individual faculty web pages and to the Graduate
School for direct access to application materials. In January 2005, we requested and were granted funds from the Graduate School to cover the cost of maintaining a detailed profile of the program on the Peterson's online graduate school search provider website. This effort modestly increased the traffic of prospective students, especially those students outside of the southeast
Atlantic region and international, to our web site. Unfortunately, the cost of the profile and link is high (~$2000/yr), and funds to support this service were discontinued by the Graduate School in January 2007.
In addition, we rely on traditional forms of recruiting such as the mailing of brochures and flyers to undergraduate geology departments at other southeastern colleges and universities, and to local environmental, engineering and geological firms. We continue to update and revise these brochures on a regular basis. The most recent version was designed in fall 2007
Other recruiting efforts include advertising at regional sectional meetings of the Colonial
Academic Alliance Conferences and the Geological Society of America. At the regional
Geological Society of America meetings, we secure a recruiting booth that is manned throughout the meeting by faculty and graduate students. We answer questions about the program, distribute informational materials, distribute applications, and compile mailing lists. The department typically absorbs the fees associated with booth rental and advertising. In the last seven years we have recruited at the southeastern sectional meeting seven times and at the northeastern
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 35 sectional meeting one time and one time at the national Geological Society of America meeting.
We have recruited approximately seven students who ultimately enrolled in our program. In addition, faculty and students who attend national meetings post advertising flyers to aid our recruiting efforts.
7.3 Orientation
The Department of Geography and Geology has a daylong orientation program for new graduate students in its program that takes place each fall and spring term prior to the start of the academic calendar. This orientation program, administered by the graduate coordinator, addresses the academic component of graduate education including teaching assignments, duties, goals and expectations for the particular laboratory teaching assignment, as well as the goals and expectations for the undergraduate students in that laboratory.
The orientation program also addresses the more mundane aspects of the graduate program such as: contracts for teaching assistants, mail service, telephone use, office space, departmental keys, clerical support and records, use of departmental equipment, laboratory security and safety, computer access, vehicle use, funding opportunities, and university travel.
All of this information is also provided in the graduate student handbook which is available on the departmental website (http://www.uncw.edu/earsci/documents/GEOgradhandbk2007.pdf).
The graduate coordinator also discusses timelines for the successful (and timely) completion of the student’s research program. A semester-by-semester progress checklist is provided to all incoming students and is also available on the departmental web page.
As part of the daylong orientation, a two-part entrance exam to test the students' knowledge of fundamental geologic principles is administered. The first part is a multiple- choice exam with physical and historical geology questions. Students must score 70% or higher
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 36 on the exam. A score of below 70% is considered deficient and students are then required to take and pass all exams, including the final, in an undergraduate section of GLY101
(Introduction to Physical Geology). The second part of the exam focuses on applied geology with mineral and rock identification, geologic map interpretation and topographic profile construction. This part of the exam is used to tailor the content of the training workshop required of all new teaching assistants in their first term in the program.
An additional two-hour orientation for all graduate students, which is also administered by the graduate coordinator, is held at the beginning of each fall and spring term. Important academic deadlines, scholarship and funding opportunities, and new Graduate School policies that impact the students are discussed. During the orientation students who have assigned teaching assistantships meet with their respective laboratory coordinators to schedule laboratory sections and go over teaching expectations for the semester.
7.4 Advising
In the Department of Geography and Geology, each graduate student has an individual graduate advisor who serves as the chair of the student's graduate advisory committee. Normally, full-time students are not admitted into the program unless a faculty member consents to serve as their advisor. Part-time students may be admitted without prior consent of an advisor. In such cases, the graduate coordinator serves as interim advisor until an advisor is determined. Mutual consent between the graduate student and a faculty member in the selection of a graduate advisor is critical to the success of the student's degree program and research. However, after beginning graduate studies, changing interests of the student to another area of research may necessitate selection of a new graduate advisor. A change in advisor should begin as soon as the need arises.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 37 The graduate coordinator should be notified immediately so that appropriate changes are incorporated in the student's file and the process is expedited efficiently.
The primary role of the graduate advisor is to assist in the choice of thesis topic and the design of the research program. The graduate advisor also provides guidance during the research project and critically edits the thesis with suggestions for any improvements. The advisor, therefore, must have expertise in the area of student research and usually agrees to advise only those students wishing to pursue a research topic within his or her range of research expertise.
The graduate advisor assists in selecting two other faculty members to serve on the graduate advisory committee. Selection of committee members is normally completed during the first semester in residence and should focus on providing the student with additional expertise in the design and implementation of thesis research. Any faculty member at UNCW holding graduate faculty status is eligible if he or she provides the needed expertise. At least two committee members, including the advisor, should be from the geography and geology faculty.
One other faculty member from another department may be added to the committee, if appropriate, but may not chair the committee. Qualified faculty from other universities may serve as committee members, but may not chair the committee. In order for a non-UNCW faculty member to serve on a committee, they must apply for a courtesy graduate faculty appointment at UNCW. This is accomplished by submitting a vitae and a letter of justification provided by the departmental graduate coordinator to the Graduate School. The major advisor submits the names of all committee members to the graduate advisor, who completes a Thesis
Committee Appointment form that is placed in the student’s permanent file and distributed to each thesis committee member.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 38 Each advisor has a degree audit form which supplies a complete listing of the courses taken by the student at the university, classes transferred, as well as any advanced placement examinations or waivers. In addition to the hardcopy degree audit form, the academic advisor may obtain this information by the use of the SEANET database on the university server. This documentation provides the necessary information to help define the student's academic program within the Department of Geography and Geology.
7.5 Student Support
The Department of Geography and Geology can award ten, 20hr/wk graduate teaching assistantships (GTA) each academic year ($9500). These GTAs are provided by the university and are awarded on a competitive basis. Between 2002 and 2005, eight students were funded during the academic year on GK-12 Fellowships ($27,000) as part of a National Science
Foundation-funded effort to work with local middle schools to enhance science in the classrooms. In addition, approximately two to three students per year are funded on 20 hr/wk
($9500) or 10hr/wk ($4750) research assistantships (RA) during the academic year and approximately three to four receive partial support (20-30 hr/wk, $2000-$3000) during the summer months (Table 4). These assistantships are funded by individual faculty research grants.
Graduate assistantships (GA) are offered through various administrative units on campus as
20hr/wk and 10hr/wk positions. Students not receiving support through the department can apply for the GA positions, which are awarded on a competitive basis. Six of out-of-state tuition remissions (9+ credit hours currently $9837 each) are provided by the university and are awarded each year to qualified students in the department. Students may receive either a complete or partial out-of-state tuition remission. One New Scholar Award ($1000) is also available to recruit highly qualified students. The department also has $9500 to award
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 39 scholarships to defray in-state tuition in fees. Currently, the department can award four complete
(9 + credit hour) awards. At this time, 13 students receive support in the form of a GTA or RA, five have received out-of-state tuition remissions, and nine have received tuition scholarship monies. Major needs of the department are additional higher paying teaching and research assistantships during the academic year and summer months, and out-of-state and in-state tuition remissions.

GA=Graduate Assistant, RA-AY=Research Assistant academic year, RA-SU=Research Assistant summer.
Students can apply for summer research stipends of $1000 offered by the Graduate
School and the marine sciences graduate program. These are competitive, university-wide grants with funding rates of approximately 30-40%. Seven to eight stipends are awarded by each organization each summer.
Other support for students comes from the Graduate School and the Graduate Student
Association. These organizations routinely provide travel grants ($250-400) to graduate students to attend and/or present at relevant regional, national or international conferences. Students are allowed to apply for one grant per year from each organization. Additional funds are available to graduate students in departments that have established departmental graduate student associations, the members of which regularly attend the Graduate Student Association monthly meetings. The individual departmental associations determine how these funds will be
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 40 distributed. Typically funds go toward the costs of meeting registrations, minor research equipment, seminar speaker travel, etc.
Additionally, the Geography and Geology Department sponsors a program that awards up to $500 to defray costs associated with student research. Each year students may submit a research proposal that is then evaluated by a faculty sub-committee. Five to eight awards are granted each year depending on the number of submissions and total support requested.
Graduate teaching assistants are provided modest office space (575 sq.ft. total; about 34 sq.ft . per student) in DeLoach Hall, room 209. About 17 students use the room mainly to hold office hours. Desks, bookcases, file cabinets and computer facilities are provided. In addition, computer facilities are available in the Cartography Laboratory and the Spatial Analysis
Laboratory. Common laboratory space, equipment and supplies are available for student research. Major needs of the program are additional space for student offices and additional laboratory space to facilitate student and faculty research.
7.6 Student Performance Measures
The retention rate for students that matriculated between 2001 and 2007 was 90%. Of the five students that left the program, three left for personal/medical reasons, and two were unable to maintain the minimum required GPA of 3.0. During the same time interval, three students that matriculated between 2001 and 2007 requested a leave of absence; one for personal reasons, one was deployed to Iraq as a member of the National Guard, and the third for medical and financial reasons. A total of 41 students graduated between 2001 and 2007. The majority of the students elected the thesis option, six students matriculated through the non-thesis option. The time to degree for students who graduated between 2001 and 2007 ranged from 6.5 to 1.5 years.
The median total time to degree was 2.75 years (Table 5).

7.6.1 Student Presentations and Publications
Students were very active in giving presentations, including many with published abstracts, and writing articles in peer-reviewed journals (Table 6).
Indicator 2001-2007 Number of graduates 41 Number of refereed publications with graduate students 25 as authors or co-authors Number of professional presentations by graduate 73 students Number of published abstracts with graduate students 102 as authors or co-authors Table 6: Student performance measures
Graduate students in the Department of Geography and Geology are encouraged to present results of their research at regional, national and international meetings. Attendance at these meetings allows further interaction with their peers from other universities and the interchange of ideas with professionals in their research areas. For example, over the last seven years, our graduate students presented results of their research at the following meetings (See
Appendix V for complete listing of student published abstracts):
Geological Society of America annual and regional meetings American Society of Limnology and Oceanography meeting American Geophysical Union fall meeting American Geophysical Union Ocean Sciences meeting Southeastern Estuarine Research Society meeting
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 42 Biennial Estuarine Research Federation meetings International Coastal Symposium Proceedings Coastal Sediments ‘03 International Symposium on Coastal Engineering and Science of Coastal Sediment Processes Symposium on the Geology of the Bahamas and Other Carbonate Regions Bald Head Island Conference on Coastal Plains Geology 42nd International Forum on the Geology of Industrial Minerals North American Paleontological Convention
An important component of our graduate program is involving the graduate students in the publication of their research. The completion of the research thesis is part of this process, but since most theses are never read outside of the university, it is important for the student to place his or her research results before the professional community. Since an abstract and proceedings volume often accompanies presentations at regional, national and international meetings, the above-mentioned meetings resulted in abstract publications of the students’ research. Students were also author or co-authors of numerous peer-reviewed articles in nationally and internationally recognized journals (See Appendix V for complete listing of student refereed publications).
7.6.2 Student Awards and Extramural Grants
The Department of Geography and Geology's annual spring awards banquet provides a forum to recognize outstanding achievements of the geology graduate students. One or two graduate students are recognized in each of three categories: research, teaching and service. In addition, the department awards the Victor Zullo Memorial Research Award to a geology student who has made outstanding contributions in research.
Over the past seven years, students were supported through university and Graduate School scholarships, stipends and awards. Several students won competitive scholarships (e.g. James
Leutze Merit Scholarship, and Sylvia and D.B. Schwartz Fellowship), and Graduate School and
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 43 Marine Sciences summer research stipends. One student won the Graduate Teaching Assistant
Excellence award (see Appendix VI for complete listing of awards and honors).
Another important component of the geology graduate program is to educate the graduate student to the intricacies of external funding for research. To this end, we encourage our graduate students to apply for a variety of awards, grants and internships that will allow them more flexibility in the pursuit of their research topics. This topic is covered in GLY501 (Methods in Scientific Research). Examples of awards and funding obtained by the graduate students from external sources over the last seven years include (see Appendix VI for complete listing of grants and internships):
Graduate Research and Travel Grants from the Geological Society of America National Science Foundation Workshop Travel Grant Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences Association for Women Geoscientists NASA Summer Internship National Non-Traditional Student Association
7.6.3 Placement of Program Graduates
After completion of their graduate degree at UNCW, our students go on to a variety of future careers. Many go into industry (both government and private) while others continue their academic careers. The placement of our graduates in relevant employment or in Ph.D. programs is close to 95%, as listed in Table 7 below.

7.7 Role of Teaching Assistants in the Graduate Program
All GTAs teach one, two or three undergraduate 100- or 200-level laboratories each week. Prior to the addition of a part-time laboratory coordinator, an experienced second-year
GTA was appointed head TA for the physical geology laboratories. All GTAs work under the direct supervision of the appropriate course lecture instructor, a faculty laboratory coordinator or the head GTA (when applicable). Most departmental GTAs are utilized in 100-level laboratories; however, GTAs with specialized skills and training may assist in 300- and 400-level laboratories.
Geology and geography laboratories in the Department of Geography and Geology involve either two or three contact hours per week. In addition, GTAs are required to assist faculty members in classes with high enrollments by grading exams, recording attendance, setting-up video or slide presentations, etc. In addition, the department graduate coordinator receives the half-time assistance (up to 10 hours per week) of a GTA. This individual assists with
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 46 preparation of program reports, preparation of recruiting posters, mailing lists for distribution of program brochures and posters, and other graduate program duties deemed important by the graduate coordinator.
All new GTAs are required to attend the daylong fall orientation and training session offered by the Graduate School in conjunction with the Center for Teaching Excellence. All new
GTAs are also required to attend a daylong orientation given by the graduate coordinator prior to the start of the fall and spring semesters. In 2005, the Graduate School developed a comprehensive graduate teaching assistant manual. The contents of this manual are discussed during the orientation and a hard copy provided to all new GTAs. The Department of Geography and Geology graduate handbook (http://www.uncw.edu/earsci/documents/
GEOgradhandbk2007.pdf), which contains written GTA instructions, is also discussed and distributed during the orientation. In addition, all new GTAs are required to attend a 20 hr departmental training workshop that meets weekly during the first half of the semester.
All geology GTAs are required to attend a two-hour long meeting at the beginning of each semester. Faculty coordinators for each laboratory section and the graduate coordinator attend this session and offer required instruction. In addition, the faculty laboratory coordinators meet each week with the GTAs who teach their laboratories to discuss forthcoming exercises, to offer suggestions to enhance teaching effectiveness, and to listen to their concerns. This process ensures that, in multiple laboratory sections, each GTA teaches the same material. Laboratory coordinators of GTAs also meet regularly with the appropriate lecture instructors to discuss laboratory content in order to ensure coordination between the laboratory and lecture material.
GTAs who teach lower level 200- level labs or assist with upper level labs work directly under the appropriate lecture instructor.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 47 8. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Females and underrepresented minorities, especially African Americans and Native
Americans, have traditionally had low faculty representation and student enrollment numbers in physical sciences departments across the nation. Diversity studies indicate that on average women make up 15-20% of faculty in earth sciences departments and underrepresented minorities comprise <1% (Native American) - 8% (Asian) of the faculty (Nelson, 2005, http://cheminfo.ou.edu/~djn/diversity/top50.html). The overall demographics of the geography and geology faculty follow this national trend. However, when considering demographics by rank, the department is unusual in that 33% of the faculty at the rank of full professor are women, compared to the national average of 10-16% (Nelson, 2005). One of the full professors
(Kelley) served as chair of the department for six years (1997-2003), and two have been graduate coordinator of the master’s in geology program (Grindlay, Leonard). Female presence in leadership roles within the department and in the classroom at the undergraduate and graduate levels provide role models and mentors to our students. This has most likely contributed to the recruitment of the relatively large number of female students enrolled in the undergraduate
(35%) and graduate programs (46%).
The department is currently searching for a chair with an anticipated start date of July
2008. To ensure a diverse applicant pool, the departmental search committee has worked closely with UNCW's Human Resources to identify 25 highly qualified, “protected” individuals who will be contacted directly by the chair of the search committee and encouraged to apply for the position.

9. SUMMARY OF FACULTY RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP
9.1 Introduction
The geography and geology faculty have an impressive record of research and scholarship. In the last seven years, faculty published more than 115 refereed articles, gave more than 144 presentations at regional, national, or international meetings, and received more than
$8.9 million dollars in extramural funding. Individual accomplishments are available in the copies of the abbreviated curriculum vita appended to this document (Appendix IV). Below is a summary of the accomplishments of faculty during the period under review.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 50 9.2 Publishing, performances, and exhibitions
In the past seven years, the geography and geology faculty produced a tangible record of publications and demonstrated a continuous pattern of dissemination and evaluation of scholarly research in a variety of forms. During this period, the faculty were author or co-author of nine books, textbooks, laboratory and/or instructor manuals, 115 refereed publications (see complete listing in Appendix VII), 296 abstracts, and multiple contributions in the form of book and textbook reviews, field guidebooks, final grant reports, encyclopedia entries, computer software, government and state survey documents, open file reports, and state map projects. The diversity in sub disciplines exemplified by the geography and geology faculty lends itself to a variety of publication outlets. The geography and geology faculty publications appeared in widely cited international journals such as Geology, Marine Geology, Journal of Coastal Research, Earth and
Planetary Science Letters, Geophysics Research Letters, Limnology and Oceanography, Water
Resources Research, Journal of Geophysical Research, Geochemistry, Geophysics and
Geosystems, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, Physical Geography,
Geomorphology, Cantena, and regional journals such as Southeastern Geology, Southeastern
Geographer, and The North Carolina Geographer.
Geography and geology faculty abstracts consistently appear in such volumes as the
International Geologic Congress, Geological Society of America national and sectional programs, EOS Transactions of the American Geophysical Union, Association of
American Geographers, and the Estuarine Research Federation.
9.3 Funded Projects
The acquisition of extramural research funding is fundamental to the support of increased student enrollment, enhancing student and faculty research efforts, and the acquisition of needed
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 51 capital equipment. Over the past seven years the department has been quite successful in obtaining extramural and in-house funding. Since 2001, eleven faculty members in the
Department of Geography and Geology were principal investigator on 74 new extramural grants worth $8,995,483 (Table 8) (See Appendix VIII for complete listing of grants). This represents nearly a four-fold increase in extramural funding from the last review cycle. The three biggest programs in terms of funding include: the NOAA-funded Coastal Ocean Research and
Monitoring Program (CORMP) (Leonard PI 2005, 2006 and 2007, total = $4,922,014),
NOAA/CSC fund Coastal Observation RCOOS program (Leonard PI $1,140,000) and the NSF
GK-12 program (Harris PI 2002-2004 total = $1,262,882). Geography and geology faculty also received "in house" funding to support research. In-house funds typically are used to help faculty develop research projects, collect pilot data for the initiation of extramural funding proposals, and to develop new courses. These funds come primarily from four sources: The

Innovative Technologies Program through the UNCW Information Technology Systems
Division and the CMS pilot project program. In the last seven years, geography and geology faculty received more than $260,000 from in-house sources.
9.4 Presentations at Conferences, Workshops, Symposia
Since the fall of 2001, the geography and geology faculty, representing the geology and geography disciplines, participated in a variety of local, regional, national, and international talks, discussions, meetings, and conferences that resulted in more than 144 presentations.
Numerous presentations were made at regional, national, and international settings in the southeast, across the United States, and including the following countries: Portugal, Bahamas,
Canada, Brazil, Spain, Netherlands, France, Chile, Jamaica, Cuba, Aruba, Dominican Republic,
Puerto Rico, Nova Scotia, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Argentina and Italy. Presentations are oral or poster in nature, although in certain conferences, combined poster and oral presentations were given. Many faculty members were sole or first author in some of these presentations, although collaborative presentations with geography and geology undergraduate and graduate students, and colleagues having national and international university, government, or industrial affiliations have been more frequently made. In addition, several faculty members were responsible for organizing and leading conferences as well as editing material, leading field excursions and panel discussions, and making presentations.
In the past seven years, a number of geology faculty made presentations both regionally at sectional meetings of the Geological Society of America and nationally at meetings of the
Geological Society of America, Coastal Sediments ’03 and '07, Ocean Sciences Meeting,
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 53 Estuarine Research Federation and the American Geophysical Union. These events represent some of the top annual meetings for the geological/marine sciences. A number of the presentations made at these meetings were invited. In geography, meetings of the Association of
American Geographers, the Pioneer America Society, the Southern Conference on Slavic
Studies, and the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies are the primary annual conferences for presentations.
All of the geography and geology faculty are also dedicated to presenting their research at other significant meetings and conferences that are nationally or internationally focused upon their specific sub disciplines. The presentation forums listed in Appendix IX represent the breadth and scope of faculty research interests, productivity, and participation in the past seven years of the geology and geography faculty. Geography and geology faculty made presentations at one or more these individually important meetings, some of which are by invitation-only.
9.5 Leadership Roles
The geography and geology faculty were/are elected officers, board members, or campus representatives to more than 22 professional organizations. Leadership positions held by geography and geology faculty between 2001 to present include: secretary-treasurer of the
Pioneer America Society, vice president of the North Carolina Geographic Society, president and past-president of the Paleontological Society, president of Board of Trustees of Paleontological
Research Institution, secretary-treasurer of the southeastern section of the Society of Economic
Paleontologists and Mineralogists, and president and treasurer of the local chapter of Sigma Xi.
Several faculty members are campus representatives for organizations such as the Geological
Society of America, the North Carolina Geographic Alliance, and the Society for Sedimentary
Geology.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 54 In the last seven years, geography and geology faculty convened or co-convened at least
14 technical sessions at professional meetings including Coastal Sediments ’03, 8th International
Coastal Symposium, American Geophysical Union annual meeting, International Congress on
Ichnology, the Geological Society of America national and regional meetings, North American
Paleontological Convention, and the Estuarine Research Federation meeting. Numerous other faculty led or co-led field trips sponsored by organizations such as the Geological Society of
America, the Carolina Geological Society, the Pioneer America Society, the Seismological
Society of America and the North Carolina Geographical Society. Several faculty were chair and organizer/co-organizer of regional and national workshops, symposia and meetings including the First Annual North Carolina Climatologist meeting, the 12th Symposium on the
Geology of the Bahamas and Other Carbonate Regions, Pardee Keynote Symposium, North
Carolina Geographical Society annual meeting, North Carolina Conference for Geographic
Information Systems, and National Science Foundation Geography Faculty Development
Alliance Workshop.
The geography and geology faculty typically reviewed more than 30 manuscripts on a yearly basis for journals including, but not limited to: Paleobiology, Journal of Paleontology,
Palaios, Paleogeography, Paleoclimatology, Palaeocecology, Science, Geology, Geological
Society of America Bulletin, Journal of Coastal Research, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science,
International Journal of Remote Sensing, Lithos, Estuaries, Cantena, Canadian Mineralogist, and Earth and Planetary Science Letters. Several faculty are textbook reviewers for Worth
Publishing Col, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Ward Educational Publishing Co. Inc., Wadsworth
Publishing, and Prentice-Hall. Two faculty members are associate editors of the Journal of
Palaios and Geology. Four faculty are co-editors of The North Carolina Geographer.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 55 In the last seven years, three faculty members served as members of National Science
Foundation grant review panels. One of these faculty members also served on a National
Undersea Research Program grant review panel. Numerous other faculty reviewed proposals for various agencies including, but not limited to: the National Science Foundation, Petroleum
Research Fund, Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology,
Natural Environmental Research council, Environmental Protection Agency, Sea Grant (TX, SC,
WI, NY, GA), the American Chemical Society, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada, USGS National Institute for Water Resources and the Department of Energy.
9.6 Honors and Awards
Several faculty members in the Department of Geography and Geology were recognized for their contributions to both research and teaching both within and beyond the university. In the last seven years, one faculty member (Kelley) was the recipient of the 2005 UNCW Faculty
Scholarship Award, which recognizes outstanding scholarship. The same faculty member was elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2004 and elected
Centennial Fellow of the Paleontological Society in 2006. Another faculty member (Harris) was elected Fellow of the Geological Society of America in 2002.
Over the past seven years our faculty continued a long and distinguished record of teaching excellence. One faculty member (Ainsley) received the 2003 North Carolina
Geography Educator of the Year Award, the 2004 UNC Board of Governor's Award for
Teaching Excellence, as well as the 2007 UNCW Chancellor's Teaching Excellence Award. Our faculty has also been recognized at the national level for teaching excellence. One faculty member (Kelley) received the Association for Women Geoscientists Outstanding Educator
Award in 2003 and was chosen to be one of the 2006-2007 National Geosciences Teacher
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 56 Association Distinguished Lecturers, and another faculty member (Gamble) received the
Distinguished Teaching Achievement Award from the National Council for Geographic
Education in 2005.
Two geography and geology faculty were recognized for outstanding service to the profession. One faculty member (Ainsley) received the 2003 H.H. Douglas Distinguished
Service Award, and most recently a faculty member (Hines) was presented the 2006 African
American Heritage Foundation of Wilmington, Inc.’s President’s Award.
9.7 Community Service Related to Program Goals
One goal of the Geography and Geology Department's mission is to serve as a resource, catalyst, and example to local and global communities by providing a wide variety of professional services. To this end, geography and geology faculty participate in several activities that serve the community at large. In a typical year, three to five of our faculty work in local public schools as lecturers and tutors. Approximately three to four faculty per year serve as judges for events such as the North Carolina Geography Bee, Oceans Bowl and science fairs at the local, regional, and state levels. Currently, one faculty member is directing the Evolution
Learning Community Program, which has a large outreach component (seminars and courses on
Evolution) through Continuing Studies at UNCW.
The Geography and Geology Department actively participates in the Summer Ventures in
Science and Mathematics program offered each summer at UNCW by the Science Math
Education Center. This program is a state funded, intensive, four-week in-residence program in science and math for rising juniors and seniors who attend North Carolina public high schools.
One to two geography and geology faculty instruct in the program each summer. The
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 57 Geography and Geology Department provides laboratory space and computers when the program is in session.
10. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES
10.1 Program Strengths
1. Our graduate program can accommodate students with varied academic backgrounds,
geological interests and career goals. We offer graduate students a diversity of research
areas from which to choose within the traditional bounds of geology as well as several
non-traditional geology research programs. The traditional areas of geology include
paleontology, structural geology, petrology, and stratigraphy. We also offer students the
opportunity to conduct research in several exciting, cutting edge research programs
including research in marine geology and geophysics, stable isotope geochemistry,
paleoecology, estuarine and coastal processes, basin analysis and contaminant hydrology.
2. Our graduate program is designed to facilitate close supervision and interaction between
faculty and students in research. A relatively large percentage of females at the rank of
full professor, and in leadership positions within the department, provide optimal role
models for female undergraduate and graduate students entering the program. The result
of this close supervision and mentoring of students by faculty is a high retention rate and
graduates who are well trained and capable of being successful in both Ph.D. programs
and employment in public and private sectors.
3. Our program places special emphasis on applied learning experiences and training
combining state-of-the-art instrumentation in both field and classroom settings to prepare
students for solving contemporary geologic problems and for the practice of advanced
research in the geological sciences. These field experiences have ranged from deep-towed
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 58 camera work and water sampling offshore northern Puerto Rico, fossil hunting in Iceland
and Baja California, mapping deformation zones in Idaho and the North Carolina
Piedmont Province, hydrologic modeling in San Salvador, Bahamas, swathmapping and
dredging survey of the Puna Ridge offshore Hawaii, seismic reflection and sidescan sonar
survey offshore SE North Carolina and western Puerto Rico, and participating in a
workshop to study the Oman Ophiolite in Cyprus. Non-thesis option students have
encountered numerous applied experiences with internships and final project work. These
include wetland delineation, environmental site assessments, GIS-related data regarding
assessments, assisting with installation and data reduction of ground water monitoring
wells, engineering geology associated with environmental assessments, and field studies
using magnetometers to test and improve reliabilities and detection of unexploded
ordnance.
10.2 Intermediate and Long-range Challenges and Needs
The most significant and immediate problems facing the graduate program are inadequate office, research and storage space, quantity and quality of student recruitment, low-levels of student support, and insufficient staff/technical support. Essential needs associated with each of these are described below.
10.2.1 Office, Research and Storage Space
As with many programs and departments on campus, the Department of Geography and
Geology has outgrown its designated space. Short-term efforts to alleviate this problem have included housing faculty and resources in other buildings on campus and maintaining an off campus storage facility.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 59 Office Space: At present, graduate students holding teaching assistant appointments are provided with very modest office space. Currently, 17 students share two small, interconnected offices (575 sq. ft. total; about 34 sq. ft. per student). In addition, research assistants are not guaranteed office space in the department. Office space is available at CMS for research assistants working with geography and geology faculty housed at CMS.
Faculty office space is also an immediate concern to the department. There has been no additional office (or research space) allocated on campus for use by the department since the last graduate review. In addition, the department has grown by two full time faculty members
(Tobias, Henry), one full time lecturer (Shew), and one shared technician (Marsan). This has resulted in several faculty members doubling up in an office, as well as the use of the conference seminar room (514 sq. ft.) for teaching, meeting, and storage space. The department is actively searching for a chair who will join the department in fall 2008. At present all of the faculty offices in DeLoach Hall are occupied; therefore, any new tenure track faculty cannot be housed in the department given current space allocations.
Research Space: Another immediate problem is the lack of research space for faculty and graduate students unless they are housed at CMS. Graduate student offices are often located in areas also dedicated to research. Even at CMS, many student offices are located in research laboratories. These office arrangements are unsatisfactory as they compromise research efforts and, in some instances, raise questions about student safety. In addition, the CMS facility is located approximately eight miles from main campus, thereby rendering offices located there unacceptable for graduate students or faculty who must hold office hours for undergraduate students.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 60 In DeLoach Hall, there is no space solely dedicated to graduate student research.
Students conducting research must share extremely limited faculty research space (which is usually the faculty members office space) or work in laboratories designed and used for teaching.
In the case of the latter, the graduate students are essentially competing with undergraduate and graduate courses for laboratory space. The net result is that graduate students lack access to a secure area where they can store their samples and supplies and work on samples over an extended period of time. In addition, consumable supplies purchased by research grants undergo high rates of attrition when they are used by classes sharing the labs and vice versa. Similarly, teaching equipment stored in the lab is subject to greater wear and tear when it is also used for research.
Another problem associated with shared teaching/research space is safety. Student and faculty research often requires the use of specialized equipment or caustic chemicals that require safety training. The combination of potentially dangerous equipment and supplies and introductory level undergraduates in the same laboratory is a recipe for disaster. DeLoach Hall has a number of safety issues that have been brought to the attention of the administration (lack of overhead fire suppression sprinklers, exposed and peeling paint and insulation, as well as an inadequate air handling unit) but no substantial repairs or renovations have been accomplished.
The combination of teaching and research in the same physical location was one problem area noted in the previous graduate program review that has not been remedied. This problem would have been alleviated had the department received access to all of DeLoach Hall, as originally planned. However, because plans to move the Department of Physics and Physical
Oceanography out of DeLoach Hall did not materialize, departmental space remains inadequate.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 61 As is the case for office space, research space is divided among several different research locations. The most ample space is contained at CMS; however, this facility is approximately eight miles away from the main campus. In addition, use of the CMS facility is largely limited to those faculty conducting marine-related research. Another facility used by geography and geology faculty is the Petrology Preparation Laboratory ("rock lab"). Like CMS, this facility is housed in a different building that is located on the other side of campus. Because students and faculty must spend time traveling back and forth between their offices and the "rock lab", less time is available for research. In addition, the separation of this facility from the department hinders faculty/student interactions and makes it extremely difficult for faculty to adequately supervise students who must use the facility for their research. The net result is that both the teaching and research mission suffer.
Storage Space: In 1997, the Department of Geography and Geology was promised a
5000 sq. ft. building to be used as an archive facility for cores and as a sample preparation facility. Because the end of the fiscal year was approaching, time was not adequate to obtain the storage building that Academic Affairs had agreed to provide. Therefore, the Department of
Geography and Geology paid some start-up costs for three new faculty with the provision that
Academic Affairs would provide the storage building the following year. Although the department has included a reminder of this agreement in the last three annual expansion budgets, and we were notified two years ago that Academic Affairs was allocating funds to this project, no support was actually received. There is absolutely no space available to store samples needed to maintain a vigorous research program. The lack of storage space became even more critical in fall 2001 when the department lost access to limited storage and laboratory space in Friday Hall
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 62 (~100 sq.ft.) and samples currently housed there needed to be relocated to paid off campus storage or placed in already overcrowded teaching and laboratory space.
10.2.2 Student Recruitment
During the past seven years the geology graduate program has maintained an average enrollment of 26 degree-seeking students. Given the size of the faculty we would like to modestly increase size of the program to 33. This increase in enrollment, however, would require additional space (see sections above) and financial support.
Recruitment efforts for our program have been hindered by the amount of financial support available. To be more competitive other with in-state and out-of-state geology programs, the geology graduate program requires GTAs be funded at a significantly higher amount. Additional out-of-state tuition remissions, and in-state tuition scholarships are also needed. The large in-state research universities, North Carolina State University and the UNC
Chapel Hill, with which we have the greatest competition for students, offer 9-month teaching assistant stipends of $13,000 or more, and waive all tuition and fees.
The ideal solution would be a complete waiver of all tuition and fees, for both in-state and out-of-state students, who are funded on either teaching or research assistantships. In addition, recruiting efforts would be significantly enhanced if UNCW offered a health care package to students on assistantships.
Other challenges to recruitment are a changing job environment in the public and private sector. The introduction of the non-thesis option in 2003 was timely and resulted in good job placement for our graduates. However, local geological, environmental and engineering companies are now looking for expertise in environmental issues such as wetlands delineation, as more emphasis is placed on mitigating impacts of coastal development. Moreover, the initiation
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 63 of a M.A. degree in environmental studies in fall 2008 has the potential to draw students that would otherwise apply to the geology M.S. non-thesis option.
10.2.3 Student Support
Even the most frugal graduate student cannot support him/herself on the current 9-month stipend of $9500 in Wilmington, NC. Although located in a relatively small county of ~183,000 inhabitants, the resort nature, rapid development and escalation of real estate values in the
Wilmington area over the past five years has increased the cost of living significantly. According to the 2007 American Chamber of Commerce's nationwide survey, Wilmington ranks as the most expensive North Carolina city to live in. The effective graduate student stipend is closer to
$6000 as most of the students must pay taxes, health insurance, parking fees, and in-state tuition and fees (the later three of which come out of post-tax income). As a result, the majority of our students are forced to assume some form of financial aid, either from federal loans and/or parental support.
Additional research assistantships are also needed. Typically only one or two students are supported on research assistantships during the academic year in the geology M.S. program.
Academic-year research assistantships allow students the flexibility to conduct research and complete coursework without the obligations associated with teaching. Research assistantship support during the summer is critical to the timely completion of the degree. During the summer, however, on average only three or four students receive research assistantship support. In some instances, Graduate School and Marine Sciences summer research stipends provide limited support ($1000 per student); however, many students are forced to seek employment outside of the university, often unrelated to the discipline, to make ends meet.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 64 10.2.4 Staff and Technical Support
The department is in dire need of additional support staff. As mentioned above, the department currently has 20 tenure track faculty, one full-time lecturer, and will be hiring one additional position in 2008. University policy states that one full-time office staff member should be provided for every eight full-time faculty positions. At present, the department has only two full-time office staff positions. Clearly, the department is understaffed and in desperate need of at least a part-time position to assist faculty with course material preparation, proposal preparation, grant budgeting and requisitions, and travel. Moreover, in 2008 the senior office administrator will have served 30 years with the department, and has indicated that she is planning to retire. Her wealth of experience and knowledge of departmental operation are unparalleled. She is an invaluable departmental resource who will be sorely missed. To ensure the smoothest possible transition, serious consideration must be given to finding and training a suitable replacement.
In spring 2006, the department hired a half-time (shared with the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography) technician. This technician has assisted with management of department facilities such as the Spatial Analysis Laboratory, the rock and mineral teaching collections, and the Cartography Laboratory. She also serves as webmaster for the Department of Geography and Geology and the GIS websites. However, given the recent acquisition of a X- ray diffractometer and an isotope ratio mass spectrometer, coupled with the reduction in computer support from the university technical support division due to organizational restructuring, there is still a need of additional technical support within the department.
10.3 Current Regional, National and International Needs
With global population increasing, demand for energy will continue to rise. For the
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 65 immediate future, energy sources will continue to be nonrenewable earth resources - coal, hydrocarbons, and uranium. Increasing numbers of geoscientists will be needed to research, explore and manage such resources. With population increase there is also an accompanying local, national and worldwide increase in environmentally related problems, including water quantity and quality and the importance of natural hazards. Enormous personal and financial losses due to phenomena such as hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis and floods have caused concern for both the public and insurance companies.
Geoscientists will be needed to study both long-term and short-term aspects of the environment, water resources and natural hazards. Interdisciplinary cooperation with engineers and social scientists will enable geoscientists to mitigate the impact of extracting earth resources as well as potential natural disasters.
The rapid population growth and urban development of southeastern North Carolina will impose an increasingly negative stress on the local environment. Further, given its low elevation and exposure to the Atlantic Ocean, global warming and accompanying rising sea level and increased tropical storm frequency have the potential to have a disastrous impact on southeastern
North Carolina. This impact will lead to increased coastal erosion problems and drastic changes in coastal and near coastal environments. Geoscientists will be needed to address regional problems of limited water supply, contamination of surface and subsurface waters, saltwater intrusion, and beach and coastal zone management.
10.4 Long Range Goals and Strategic Plan
The department’s strengths lie in two main areas: (1) Coastal and Marine Studies, including the study of physical, biological, and geochemical systems, human-environment interactions, natural resources and hazards as they apply to coastal and estuarine environments,
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 66 the ocean basins, and continental margins; (2) Global Change Studies, including large-scale environmental change over geologic to modern time scales, anthropogenic impacts including climate change, and the impacts of globalization on social and environmental systems. It is our vision to build on these areas of emphasis while providing a comprehensive and powerful learning experience for students, maintaining a faculty of outstanding scholars, strengthening regional engagement and outreach, preparing students to be global citizens, and encouraging and enhancing diversity.
10.4.1 Additional/Replacement Faculty Hires
To achieve our vision, within the next two years we plan to maintain or add the following disciplines by additional faculty hires:
Coastal Processes / Marine Geology: Because of rising sea level associated with global warming and the increasing demand for beach renourishment sand and hydrocarbon resources found offshore, the university would benefit by strengthening and expanding research programs in coastal and marine geology. These fields are vital to the environmental and economic interests of southeastern North Carolina.
In recent years the majority of the graduate students who have matriculated in the M.S. geology program have done so to pursue marine or coastal research. Currently, all of the geography and geology faculty with expertise in coastal and marine geology are at, or near maximum advising capacity. They are supervising two to three (sometimes up to five!) students, and sitting on numerous theses committees in the geology, marine biology and marine science graduate programs. The department typically offers three to four graduate classes per semester with a coastal/marine emphasis that attract students from within and outside of our department.
In the next three years, two faculty members will retire (one (Cleary) is currently in phased-
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 67 retirement, the other (Thayer) has announced he will go on phased-retirement in fall 2008). Both of these faculty members have expertise in aspects of coastal geology. Their departure will reduce the number of potential advisors and teachers for a significant component of our graduate program. It is therefore crucial to the viability of the geology graduate program that one or more of the retirement replacement hires have expertise in coastal processes and/or marine geology.
Remote Sensing: Remote sensing is one component of the rapidly growing field of
GIScience. The rapid pace of development in southeastern North Carolina has created new opportunities for UNCW graduates in planning offices, environmental consulting firms, and public regulatory agencies many of which require skills in GIScience. Currently, we have one faculty member with expertise in GIS, but we do not have expertise in remote sensing. Given the increasing demand in this field, it is necessary to hire at least one more GIscientist to reach a critical mass that will meet enrollment and employment demands, increase our research productivity, as well as attracting quality graduate students.
Within the next five years, an additional one to two faculty members are anticipated to retire. Potential hires for our longer term needs include expertise in global climate dynamics, paleoceanography and paleoclimatology. These disciplines would complement the proposed
B.S. in oceanography program (see below) and the master's in marine science program.
10.4.2 Curriculum Development
New Graduate Degree Programs: In spring 2008, the department plans to explore the possibility of offering a combined B.S./M.S. geology non-thesis option that leads to awarding of both degrees in as little as five years (three-plus-two program). This program can utilize the university policy that permits graduate courses to count as credit toward completion of both
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 68 degree programs, and therefore potentially bolster enrollment numbers in both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Few additional resources would be needed to implement this program. Three-plus-two programs have been successful in other science departments across campus, e.g. chemistry and mathematics.
The department is also considering the possibility of offering a M.A. degree in geography. This option, however, would require much more careful planning and additional resources in terms of faculty, space and graduate student support. Exploring this option is part of the department's five-year strategic plan.
New Undergraduate Degree Programs: In fall 2005, the Geography and Geology
Department implemented a minor in oceanography to gauge student interest in a possible degree program. The minor has been very popular with enrollment more than doubling in the two years since it was first offered. In fall 2007, the Geography and Geology Department submitted a request for permission to plan a B.S. degree in oceanography. The proposal, which outlines a very interdisciplinary degree that involves faculty from several departments including chemistry, biology and marine biology and physics and physical oceanography, has been approved by the
College of Arts and Sciences Curriculum Committee and the University Curriculum Committee, and awaits final approval with the Faculty Senate. The immediate benefit of this program would be an increased enrollment in the department (and the university). Over the long-term, as the enrollment numbers continue to grow, additional GTAs will be necessary to teach multiple laboratory sections of the introductory courses associated with the degree. Further, there will be the potential to establish a three-plus-two program between the B.S. in oceanography and M.S. in marine science.
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 69 In spring 2008, the department also plans to revisit the B.A. in geology to examine the possibility of revising the degree to better meet the needs of undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the Watson School of Education who are seeking teaching licensure in earth sciences.
10.4.3 Increased Research Profile
Publications, presentations and grantsmanship are needed to raise the visibility of the program, attract high-quality students, and provide support for students (as well as equipment, faculty summer salaries, etc.). During the last seven years, the geography and geology faculty achieved an impressive record of research and scholarship. The faculty published numerous refereed articles in internationally recognized journals, gave presentations at regional, national, or international meetings, and received more than $8.9 million dollars in extramural funding
(nearly quadrupling the amount of the previous review period). The number of faculty involved in seeking extramural funds grew since the last review, and several of the newly funded projects were to junior faculty members as first-time grants.
This increased research productivity has occurred despite a prolonged and acute lack of research space (see section above) and the heavy workloads due to high teaching demands and insufficient staff and technical support. The department's concerns for the future: how do we continue our trend toward research excellence and increasing external support without adequate research space and release time to fulfill grant obligations? Frankly, our current level of research productivity will be difficult to sustain, and we are likely at or near a ceiling based on our resources and workloads.
The UNCW administration indicated in November 2007 that the Department of
Geography and Geology will not be moving into the new science building (estimated completion date of 2010) as originally planned. A remaining option to alleviate the space crunch is to
MGLY Self-Study 2001-2007 70 allocate all of DeLoach Hall to the department. This option, however, does not address the woeful condition of the 50-year old building. Significant renovation of DeLoach Hall will be necessary to ensure it meets the health and safety standards necessary for laboratory sciences.
More flexibility in determining faculty workload at the departmental level could also help to maximize research productivity. The department recognizes that faculty vary in their interests and talents and that variation in research and teaching assignments could benefit individual faculty, as well as the department as a whole.

Drs. Iris Anderson and Elizabeth Canuel co-major professors. Dissertation Title: Nitrate Reduction at the Groundwater / Saltmarsh Interface 1985-1989 B.A. Biological Sciences, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware. Degree with Distinction, Magna Cum Laude. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE: 2005-Present Assistant Professor of Geology: University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Dept. of Geogaphyr. & Geology Current research targets nutrient pollution in the coastal zone, specifically addressing several aspects of nutrient cycling, fate, and transport along an aquatic continuum from watersheds to the coastal ocean. Hydrologic and stable isotope tracer techniques are my primary tools. Presently funded projects examine these topics in tidal creeks, estuaries, and coastal embayments of the Mid Atlantic, and on the salt marshes of the Gulf Coast. Much of the work quantifies element processing rates in situ, and examines the interaction among hydrology, geochemistry, and biology in regulating overall fate and transport of important nutrients. Responsible for design, construction, operation, training, and maintenance of the UNCW Stable Isotope Laboratory. 2003- Present Adjunct Faculty: College of William and Mary, School of Marine Science / Virginia Institute of Marine Science Fall 2002-2005 NRC Post Doctoral Fellow: Water Resources Division, US Geological Survey, Reston, VA. Laboratory of Dr. J.K. Böhlke Research concentrated on defining the interaction among primary production, and denitrification in controlling biogeochemical nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen processing in stream networks. Experimental tools include natural abundance and tracer level stable isotope characterization of multiple elements (nitrogen, carbon, oxygen). The work is done in conjunction with whole-stream 15 18 N nitrate and O2 additions that are used to help assess in situ, reach-scale biogeochemical N- cycling rates and gas transfer. 1 Curriculum Vitae ---- Craig R. Tobias Additional projects include: 1) Contributions to coastal groundwater fate and transport studies in Mid Atlantic coastal lagoons; and 2) Nitrogen biogeochemistry and trophic transfer in deep-sea hydrocarbon seep food webs in the Gulf of Mexico. Fall 1999-Fall 2002 Post Doctoral Researcher: Ecosystems Center, Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Laboratory of Dr. Bruce Peterson. Conducted research associated with the NISOTREX II project. Research efforts consisted of using a whole-estuary 15N enrichment to determine the fate of watershed-derived nitrogen (N) in a New England estuary. Specific objectives included: 1) identify the inorganic and biotic connections within the estuary, 2) define in situ rates and time-scales for N cycling through multiple biological and chemical pools in the water column and sediments, 3) use isotope tracer data to calibrate a multi- compartment, biogeochemical model linked to the hydrography of the system. The project supported mentorship through the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. Fall 1993-1999 Research Assistant: College of William and Mary, School of Marine Science, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, Gloucester Point, Virginia. Responsible for research that focused on bio-element cycling in a variety of coastal systems, lakes, and adjacent watersheds. Dissertation research investigated biogeochemical nitrogen processing at the groundwater / saltmarsh discharge interface. The work integrated hydrology with biological, geochemical, and isotopic characterization and culminated with the execution of a whole system 15N- nitrate tracer study. Additional projects included investigation of nitrogen and carbon respiration in coastal aquifers, and study of mechanisms controlling nitrogen saturation and recovery in acidified Bohemian lakes, Czech Republic. Spring 1994 Field Coordinator /Co-Lecturer: Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. Co-instructed the tropical marine ecology portion of an Environmental Economics short-course offered by Yale University in Roatan, Honduras.

The external review team (Fred Rich, Georgia Southern University; Susan Goldstein, University of Georgia) visited the UNCW campus March 20-21, 2008. Our review is based on the Department of Geography and Geology’s Self-Study Document, a tour of facilities, and discussions with administrators (Dr. Robert Roer, Dean of the Graduate School, Associate Vice Chancellor Akinleye, and Dr. David Cordle, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences), the Department Chair, Dr. Rich Laws, Graduate Coordinator, Dr. Nancy Grindlay, as well as most faculty members and several graduate students. Overall, we find the M.S. in Geology to be a solid program which offers diverse opportunities for graduate students. Students who graduate are well prepared for either further graduate work at the Ph.D. level or for careers as professional geologists in government or the private sector. Members of the faculty are diverse, mostly productive, and well qualified. Several members of this faculty in particular are highly productive scientists and would be a credit to any major geoscience program in the U.S. In addition, the Department has made several excellent hires in recent years, and the Program’s potential for the future, therefore is quite high. The last external program review was conducted in the 2000 – 2001 academic year, and most of the current faculty members were present at that time. Departmental and institutional responses to this review appear to have been positive and many of the issues identified have been addressed. This indeed is commendable for both the Department and Administration. However, several issues remain, particularly those relating to space, facilities and graduate student support. Remedies for these are far more complicated, and solutions will require both careful planning by the department as well as significant institutional support. This report reviews the strengths and challenges and offers several recommendations which we hope will further enhance the growth and quality of the program. 1 Program Strengths: We concur in principle with the strengths listed in Section 10.1 of the Self-Study (p. 58). The graduate program is structured to accommodate students with different backgrounds and career goals that range from traditional fields (e.g., structural geology, petrology, paleontology, stratigraphy) to several that are more specialized. Programs in marine geology and geophysics, coastal processes, paleobiology, and field geology are particularly strong. The Department clearly benefits from its close relationship with CMS which provides modern laboratory and support facilities for those faculty members working in marine-related fields. Access to research vessels such as the R/V Cape Fear is an asset. The new program in stable isotope geochemistry (housed at CMS), with its multidisciplinary applications, adds a valuable dimension to the graduate program and should serve the university community well. The planned addition of a technical support position for this facility demonstrates institutional support and indeed is essential for a successful stable isotope facility. The Department also hosts an X-ray diffraction facility housed in DeLoach which has a broad user base. Spatial analysis and hydrology (and related areas) also appear to be fairly new programs. Both are off to a good start and should help meet rising student needs in these fields. Though we met with just a few graduate students (the site visit was scheduled over a holiday), their remarks support the Department’s characterization of close supervision and interactions with graduate students. We found graduate students to be loyal to the program and keenly interested and engaged in their projects. The Program’s graduate student retention rate (90%) is quite good as is the median time to degree (2.75 years). Graduate students are encouraged to present their research at professional conferences (102 published abstracts with grad student authorship from 2001-2007) and publish in professional journals (25 papers). Students have also earned a number of competitive extramural student research grants. These measures clearly demonstrate the quality and effectiveness of the program. The Department’s orientation and TA training programs also appear to be solid and effective. 2 The Department hosts a diverse faculty which includes several female full professors, some in leadership roles. The program therefore is more inclusive than many and provides excellent role models for both male and female students. The Department’s strengths and diversity of specializations overall are a good match for current employment trends in the geosciences (reviews available on AGI and AGU websites). Several faculty members are also licensed professional geologists in North Carolina, and this expertise is a valuable resource for those students seeking careers as professional geologists in the private sector. The Department’s focus for new hires (p. 67) would both build on current strengths and meet the needs of future graduate students. According to the Self-Study, future hires would be recruited in the areas of (a) coastal processes / marine geology, and (b) remote sensing. Both areas of specialization reflect continued student demand and are quite appropriate considering the location and geologic setting of UNCW. These specializations also take into account pending retirements. The latter area of specialization is especially appropriate because the department includes both geography and geology. Departmental Challenges and Needs: The greatest challenges currently facing the program are those relating to insufficient space and graduate student stipends that are neither competitive nor sufficient for student support. In addition, members of the Department and/or the administration raised concerns about graduate student recruitment and uneven funding and productivity among faculty. Graduate students raised several issues in addition to the low stipends. They would like to see the geology-based offerings in the GIS area expanded. They complain that the research facilities (other than those related to CMS) are woefully inadequate and that they have insufficient space for research. Only 4 desktop computers are available for their use (in the grad student office), and when they break down, it may take months to repair them. Desk space in the grad student office is available only to teaching assistants and not for all graduate students in the program. The most pressing issue raised by graduate students is that their stipends are too low. Even with the best offer the 3 Department can make, funds are not sufficient to support them in the Wilmington area, even with very frugal life styles. 1. Space and facilities. The biggest problem is that space is simply too limited to effectively accommodate the needs of the Program. While those faculty members housed at the CMS facility have modern, well-equipped labs and offices, those housed in DeLoach Hall do not. This has the potential to develop into a two-tiered faculty system which could in turn have negative consequences for both faculty and students in the Program. Faculty office space is very limited. Offices are quite small, and because faculty housed in DeLoach do not have dedicated research labs, individuals use their small offices for storage of research samples, maps, etc., which further exacerbates the tight accommodations. Some faculty offices are both tiny and shared, especially by those who have labs and offices at CMS. Office space available for graduate students is also quite limited. Basically, students have desk space in a large common double room which also houses several computers for their use. This space houses 17 graduate students. The layout of this space is crowded and probably not conducive to graduate student productivity. The number of computers is also limiting, and, if possible, additional computers should be made available for student use. Are computer facilities available to undergraduate majors in DeLoach Hall? Faculty lab space in DeLoach Hall is especially problematic. The teaching labs are organized around broad and sometimes marginally compatible functional themes, and they generally double for both research and instruction. Each lab, therefore, hosts multiple student (supervised) and faculty users. According to the Self-Study document, the Department has just 3 dedicated research labs in DeLoach (838 ft2) which are shared by 14 faculty members. Additionally, the Department has inadequate space allocated for the storage and maintenance of minerals, rocks, and fossils used in research. 4 Recommendations. The best long-term solution to the crowded conditions would certainly be expansion of the department into renovated space currently occupied by Physics. Because this is not likely to occur soon (based on discussions with administrators during the site visit), it would be in the Department’s best interests to reevaluate its current space utilization to make more efficient use of existing space. Are there underutilized classrooms, or classroom functions that could be combined so that some of these rooms could be converted to faculty research labs? Are there current labs that could be subdivided? A reallocation of space would require careful planning, and we recommend including a facilitator and/or a consultant/facilities planner from outside the Department in the planning process. If implemented, this process would also require significant renovation funds. As external reviewers, we can offer suggestions to this end, however, these remain suggestions. Here are a few ideas to start with (suggestions by Dr. Rich): Acid lab - This room should probably be renovated in its entirety. The large walk-in fume hoods take up a great deal of space and, considering the nature of faculty research endeavors, probably don’t serve anyone well. The smaller hoods could be removed and either installed elsewhere in the department or put into storage somewhere else on campus if there is no immediate need for them. The department needs to have fume hoods, but not as they are currently configured. The acid lab could then be made into office space. Reducing the number of fume hoods could have a positive effect on achieving greater efficiency in air-handling, too. Seminar room - Room 113 has old, but not particularly valuable periodicals that occupy an entire wall. These should be given to the Library or somehow disposed of to create better use of wall space storage, or the shelves could be removed entirely. If the shelves were removed and the storage cabinets on the opposite wall were removed, the seminar room could be made into additional graduate student offices. Seminars could easily be held in one of the labs or the auditorium (114), which is actually quite nice. If seminars are held regularly it might be wise to schedule them at a particular day and time each month so that room use in the auditorium, for example, could be dedicated to seminars. 5 Graduate student office - The crowded conditions are clearly counter-productive, and might well be in violation of the Fire Marshal’s occupancy limits. The battered and mismatched furniture should be discarded and half of it removed. Should the Seminar Room be changed to graduate student offices, the teaching assistants would find themselves better able to help students, and could conduct their own studies more effectively. Computer facilities available to graduate students likewise should be expanded and updated. The Spatial Analysis lab (125) is overcrowded. There does not appear to be an immediate solution to this, though in the long-term it might be possible to incorporate the adjacent office (currently Dr. Halls’) into the lab by creating a connecting door and moving the office to other renovated space. This might sound like a drastic move, but the Department might have to resort to such measures eventually. The number of undergraduate labs (5) actually seems excessive, and the department should give serious consideration to converting one of them to a research lab or, perhaps better, faculty office space. Among the labs that could be converted are the Physical/Historical Geology lab (116), the Structure/Stratigraphy/Paleontology lab (105), or the Physical Geology lab (109). Such a move would probably necessitate someone giving up a perceived ownership of lab space, but the needs of the department much override the needs of individuals. The Department at Georgia Southern had to do just such a thing recently, and a large lab space was subdivided into three faculty offices. No one has missed the lab, and the offices were essential. This requires care in room use planning, but it can be done. Some labs seem to have unique uses for which they are well suited. The Cartography and Mineralogy labs (224 and 120, respectively) would seem to be best used as they are in view of the equipment and other resources associated with them. Similarly, the Soil Analysis lab (217) should probably be left as is, though there would appear to be no reason why soils research couldn’t be conducted next door in the Sedimentology lab. The Sedimentology lab (218) is spacious and, while it appears to be dedicated mostly to sedimentology and summer teaching 6 activities, it could be used to teach large introductory labs should one of the Physical Geology labs, for example, be converted to other uses. 2. Graduate Student Support: As noted above, and during our visit, the support given to graduate assistants is simply inadequate. The current $10K allocation is not competitive, and results in hardship for students who to a significant extent are the life-blood of the department. They are teachers, laborers, and assistants in many different capacities. Furthermore, they are colleagues and friends, and should be treated as such. Recommendations. Assistantships should be increased to reach a target of $13K, by current standards. A survey of graduate student stipends offered by both peer and aspirant institutions would prove beneficial to assure that UNCW’s stipends are indeed competitive. Just as importantly, however, complete tuition remission should be enacted very soon. The current national employment climate for geologists is very positive, and schools with attractive assistantship packages will simply out-compete schools who do not have such incentives. Tuition remission would be of great value to the students, clearly, but will also make the Department and the Institution more competitive. Additionally, health insurance should be added to the assistantship package. As we spoke to the Dean of the Graduate School we asked what the most generous offer in the department actually consisted of. A $10K Teaching Assistantship, with out-of-state tuition remission and $2K tuition assistance still resulted in a $3200 tuition levy, plus the cost of health insurance. No one can live in Wilmington, NC, under those conditions. When we asked the students what attracted them to UNCW, it was not the money. Proximity to home, the reputation of the programs, a desirable physical environment, the breadth of the research base (particularly at CMS), and the research connections were all mentioned. It is clear that there are intrinsic values unique to UNCW that draw students from around the country. It is highly advisable to enhance their experiences with adequate financial support. 7 3. Recruitment of Graduate Students: The recruitment of top-notch graduate students is highly competitive and a primary concern of every geoscience graduate program. The Department is currently using a listing in Peterson’s online guide, mailing of brochures and flyers to selected undergraduate programs, and advertising at regional conferences (Colonial Academic Alliance Conference, Geological Society of America), and these are all good approaches. Recommendations. • Increase graduate student stipends and offer complete tuition waivers, as outlined above. • Consider offering an annual “open house” for prospective graduate students, scheduled in the early spring just after students have been reviewed for admission but before student deadlines for accepting any offers. It is not necessary to provide travel funds for all students, though the Department might consider doing so for its top prospect(s). • Continue to update the Department’s website. Provide more photos of students in the field and continually update current research and student research opportunities. • The Department is planning a combined, 5-year, BS – MS degree program as an added recruitment tool for students interested in the applied geosciences. This might prove effective, especially if it is liked as much as possible with the process of licensure as a professional geologist. Additional Observations. • Some are concerned that inadequate credit is granted to those faculty who serve as major professor for students pursuing a M.S. in Marine Sciences rather than Geology, particularly with regard to promotion, tenure, and merit considerations. If this is indeed the case, it might require policy consideration above the department level. • The requirement that old computers be removed when new ones are purchased simply does not make any sense. An inventory of non-functional computers is to be avoided, but forcing a department to discard perfectly good instruments, when 8 there is a clear lack of access to computers for general use is counterproductive. This policy needs to be changed. In addition, the growing demand for computers in the Program will probably lead to the need for increased staff support. • Up-date the hall display cabinets. Whether these are used for teaching, or merely serve a decorative function, they need to be kept up. Their current condition projects an air of resignation, and that is not the image you want to convey. Some cabinets could be dedicated to particular themes, rather than simply being a collection of curiosities. We have had the same problem at Georgia Southern, and we disposed of some cases and made the rest of them more attractive and functional. It takes a curator to do this, but the effort is with it. • Be sure the groundskeepers maintain the courtyard in an attractive fashion. This is a unique attribute of DeLoach Hall, and actually makes the building quite appealing. It could/should be used as a teaching space, though perhaps that already happens. 9 October 8, 2008 To: Dr. Robert Roer, Dean Graduate School From: Dr. Lynn Leonard, Chair Geography and Geology Department Departmental Response to Review of the Master of Science in Geology, University of North Carolina Wilmington for the period 2001-2007 I. Process The Graduate Program Review Committee, Department Chair, and Graduate Coordinator met to discuss the review document and recommendations submitted by the external review team. In general, the Department of Geography and Geology agrees that the external review document accurately describes the state of the M.S. Geology Program at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. The program was described as a solid program that offers diverse opportunities for graduate students. The review committee indicated that students who graduate are well prepared for either further graduate work at the Ph.D. level or for careers as professional geologists in government or the private sector. For the most part, the recommendations fell under two primary categories: space and support. Specifically, the review committee indicated that the greatest challenges currently facing the program are those relating to insufficient space (teaching, research, and storage) and graduate student stipends that are neither competitive nor sufficient for student support. Several other minor issues also were raised. Below we respond to each of these. II. Recommendations and Responses A. Space: The review committee indicated that the program suffers from insufficient space for teaching, research and storage. According to their review, the best long-term solution to the crowded conditions would be expansion into renovated space currently occupied by Physics. However, based on their discussions with administrators during the site visit, they found that this was not a solution likely to occur in the near future. Consequently, the review team suggested several possible (short term) space utilization alternatives that could be implemented on a temporary basis. These suggestions and our departmental response to each are listed below. 1. Renovation of the Acid Lab (2nd floor). This laboratory has dedicated fume hoods for specific chemical and material usage and is used by (at least) four faculty members and their students for research. The review team suggested that this laboratory could be significantly renovated to create office space for graduate students and faculty. The Department does not think that this is a viable option at this time because: 1) Modification of this laboratory would require costly renovations that greatly exceed the Departmental budget; and 2) Conversion of laboratory to office space would exacerbate the research space crisis already faced by the department. 2. Conversion of DL113 to graduate student office space. Room 113 is utilized as faculty meeting space, seminar classroom, departmental library, and storage. Although the idea of changing this room to a graduate student office space has merit, again the department lacks sufficient funds for renovation. In addition, the Department regularly uses this room as an overflow classroom for small seminar classes, and to conduct committee meetings etc. Because of the HVAC units located adjacent to the west wall, the room is subject to vibrations and a loud hum when the AC is operating, thus this room is not a desirable alternative for office space. 3. Renovation of an undergraduate teaching laboratory to faculty offices. The department respectfully responds that this modification is counterproductive to our goal of providing the best in experiential learning opportunities to our students. At present, the classrooms and laboratories in Deloach Hall are solidly booked for use by our department in addition to other university users. Further, rooms such as DL105 or DL116, are also used to conduct weekly Teaching Assistant meetings, faculty meetings, thesis defenses etc. This is not only impractical, but (again) beyond the fiscal resources available to the department. 4. Expansion of Spatial Analysis lab (DL125). We concur that DL125 is overcrowded and that lack of space limits the number of students (graduate and undergraduate) that we can service in this facility. The suggestion to expand the laboratory into Dr. Halls’ office has merit, but again, the cost of such renovations is beyond the Department’s budget. Until such a time that acceptable space is identified for additional faculty offices (other than conversion of heavily used teaching laboratories), this is not a viable solution. B. Graduate Student Support: The second major issue facing the graduate program is the inadequate stipend level. They felt (as does the Department) that the current $10K allocation is not competitive and reported that the low stipends were the most pressing issue raised by graduate students during the visit. Even when a GTA is matched by summer support from grants, the stipend is still insufficient to support them in the Wilmington area. The review committee recommended an increase in stipend $13K and further suggested that UNCW should include complete tuition remission and health insurance in the standard assistance package. The Department concurs with the review team’s observations that such a financial package would increase the Department (and University’s) ability to recruit and retain high quality graduate students. We have begun to survey student recruits who declined acceptance, and now have data showing that in many cases our offers were declined because the assistantship package was not competitive. The Department recognizes, as did the graduate review committee, that securing funding to improve the assistantship package requires action at levels above that of the Department. Further, while the Department has worked diligently to encourage out-of-state students to take the necessary actions to establish in-state residency, we are concerned that purported changes in the residency review process will make it more difficult for future students to establish residency. Should this occur, we will have fewer out-of-state remission funds available to recruit out-of-state students. C. Other recommendations: • Update display cases: We concur and have updated all displays in the Department this semester. • Ensure adequate credit is given to faculty who mentor Marine Science students: As Chair (and as a faculty member who mentors Marine Science students and a previous member of the annual evaluation committee), I do not think this is a problem. I have never seen any evidence that faculty who advise graduate students in Marine Sciences rather than Geology, are not given credit for these activities when it comes to promotion, tenure, and merit considerations. • Change computer life-cycle policy: The review team commented that the requirement that old computers be removed when new ones are purchased does not make sense. While they agreed that an inventory of non-functional computers should be avoided, they felt that forcing a department to discard perfectly good instruments, when there is a clear lack of access to computers for general use is counterproductive. We agree that it would be beneficial to have a mechanism that allowed the Department to increase the number of accessible computers by removing “non-returned” computers from the life-cycle list. III. Summary In conclusion, the Department of Geography and Geology and the Masters in Geology Program agree with most of the observations and suggestions by the outside review committee. We thank them for taking the time to visit our department and for providing thoughtful comments intended to strengthen the Program. We are pleased that the external review committee recognized our efforts to address the issues identified during the previous external review (conducted in AY 2000 – 2001) and their recognition that the Department had addressed or resolved many of the issues previously identified. However, this review (as did the 2 prior reviews) continues to identify lack of space, resources, and funding as major deterrents to the growth (or even maintenance) of our program. Further, each of these reviews have concluded that the major problems facing our program are outside the venue of the Department. While we recognize that these issues may not be unique to this Department and that space and funding are problems faced by the University as a whole, we feel that it is imperative that we are given the opportunity to work with the Graduate School to develop a strategy that addresses these issues as they relate to our Program. It is our concern that the emphasis being placed on development of new programs, will result in an even greater reduction in resources for existing programs – including this one. As the reviewers noted, our program is fortunate in that there are intrinsic values unique to UNCW that draw students from around the country and that the current national employment climate for geologists is very positive. The latter suggests a rise in the potential number of students seeking advanced degrees in Geology from which our program could recruit. However, it is our contention based on the comments from three consecutive external reviews that without support from upper administration, it will not be possible for UNCW to compete with those schools who already offer far more attractive assistantship packages and other incentives. Should you wish to meet with me or our Graduate Coordinator to discuss our responses, please do not hesitate to contact me. Respectfully Submitted, Lynn A. Leonard, Chair Department of Geography and Geology
