Executive Summary

The UNC Wilmington Department of Geography and Geology began in 1970 and has grown to be a thriving and vital component of the Earth sciences at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The department currently has 19 tenure-track faculty, 2 lecturers, 1.5 staff people who support four undergraduate (geography, geoscience, geology, and oceanography) and two graduate (geoscience and geospatial technology) programs. Within the past 5 years the department has had several changes in faculty composition through retirements/departures and new hires. The degree programs have also changed substantially where the MS in Geology has become the MS in Geoscience. The result is a growth in our graduate program from 24 students in 2013 to 43 students in 2014. The greatest challenge that has consistently affected the Department is space. The faculty are spread across campuses (Center for Marine Science and main campus) and buildings, there is insufficient research space for faculty and students on the main campus, and the space is in need of refurbishment to accommodate the latest trends in science and technology. The greatest challenge for the MS in Geoscience program are the student stipends. The number of stipends and the funding amount is far less than comparable programs within North Carolina and in the mid-Atlantic region. It is a strong testament to the recruiting efforts of Department faculty that given this low funding the program has grown so quickly over the past few years. The concern is whether or not we can sustain this growth in numbers of students and increase the level of support for our students. The current time-to- completion is 2.5 years which is an improvement since the previous graduate program review. Considering the increase in faculty workloads, the weak graduate student financial support, and the space concerns, the productivity of students is a testament to the dedication of the students and faculty. The youthful and vibrant dynamic of the Department is palpable and has translated into positive numbers of students and productivity (awards, presentations, grants and publications).

1. General characteristics of and brief history of the academic unit 1.1 History of the Department of Geography and Geology The Department of Geography and Geology was established in 1970 and provided service courses in geology and geography. In 1973, the Department was renamed Earth Sciences and offered courses in earth sciences, geology, geography, and pre-engineering surveying. From 1973 to 1981 the department offered an undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in Earth Sciences with concentrations in earth science, geology, and geography. In 1982, separate B.A. degrees in earth sciences, geography, geology, and a Bachelor of Science degree in geology were established. The B.A. degree in earth sciences was dropped in 1984 because of low enrollments. In fall 1988, the department enrolled its first students in the new Master of Science in geology program. In 1995 an interdisciplinary B.A. degree in environmental studies and B.S. degree in environmental science were established and managed as the Environmental Studies Program within the Department of Earth Sciences and the department continued to offer the other undergraduate degree programs. In fall 2002, the non-thesis option of the M.S. in geology was implemented. It was also at this time, 2002, 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. In 2011, the department began offering a Post- Baccalaureate Certificate in Geographic Information Science as well as new undergraduate B.A. in Geoscience, B.S. in Oceanography, and minors in Geospatial Technologies and Oceanography. In 2012, the undergraduate Certificate in Geographic Information Science was dropped in order to focus undergraduates to enroll in the minor and to recruit potential graduate students to the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Geographic Information Science. In fall 2013 the department renamed the M.S in Geology to M.S in Geoscience with both thesis and non- thesis options and three concentrations: geology, geospatial science, and Earth processes and global change. The department has grown from two faculty in 1970 to currently 19 tenure-track faculty (including the UNCW Provost) and 1 full-time lecturer who is split between the Department of Geography and Geology and the Department of Environmental Studies. Since the last graduate program review in 2007, the department has had 10 faculty (Abrams, Argenbright, Ainsley, Cleary, Dockal, Grindlay, Harris, Huntsman, Thayer, and Tobias) either retire or leave UNCW for other institutions. Meanwhile, we have hired 9 faculty: Dr. Battles (Provost), Dr. Ghoneim (Assistant Professor of remote sensing and physical geography), Dr. Hawkes (Assistant Professor of coastal geology), Dr. Hoffman (Assistant Professor of paleoceanography), Dr. LaMaskin (Assistant Professor of geology), Dr. Lane (Assistant Professor of stable isotope geochemistry), Dr. Loh (Assistant Professor of chemical oceanography), Dr. Nooner (Assistant Professor of marine geophysics) and Dr. Pricope (Assistant Professor of Geographic Information Science and climate change). During the past seven years, the department has also seen changes in the administration of the department. Since 2012, the chair of Geography and Geology, Dr. Lynn Leonard, has also been the chair of the department of Physics and Physical Oceanography. For several years the department had two full-time administrative assistants, but approximately 5 years ago, when one staff person retired, the department lost this position during budget cuts. Geographically the department has also changed through time. From 1970 to 1973, the department was housed in Alderman Hall and Hoggard Hall and then 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. When the new Center for Marine Science was opened in 1999 at the Myrtle Grove location 5 faculty members were located in this new facility. Currently 7 faculty members reside at CMS which is approximately 6 miles from main campus. In 2015, 3 faculty who currently reside in DeLoach Hall (Gamble, Halls and Pricope) will be moved to renovated space in the building formally known as the Social and Behavioral Sciences Building. Renovations are currently underway. Therefore, the department of Geography and Geology is complex in comparison to other departments since we offer 4 undergraduate programs, 2 graduate programs, numerous minors; cover a wide variety of disciplines (e.g. human geography, geomorphology, meteorology, geospatial analysis, geochemistry, paleontology, coastal geology, tectonics, structural geology, climate change, marine geophysics, and others); and are housed in multiple locations both on and off campus.

1.2 Department of Geography and Geology Mission Statement and Goals The Department of Geography and Geology contributes to the mission of the University through its commitment to quality in teaching, research, and professional service. The primary objective of the Department is to offer rigorous and comprehensive degree programs in geography and geology that cover fundamental geographic and geologic knowledge as well as the latest innovations within these disciplines. The degree programs emphasize experiential learning opportunities including field studies, laboratory analysis, geospatial and quantitative methods, student research, internships, and international studies. Faculty research and service include a wide range of efforts dedicated to scholarly achievement, civic engagement, and applied problem solving at the local, regional, national, and international levels. We build on the traditional strengths of the department while contributing specifically to the University goals of providing a 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. 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. 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, geology, and oceanography. The specific goals of the department's mission are: 1. Provide the highest quality undergraduate and graduate teaching of geography, geology, and oceanography through innovative and effective curricula that emphasize contemporary concepts and technologies and a variety of experiential learning opportunities. 2. Produce and disseminate new knowledge in geography, geology, and oceanography through vigorous, creative research and scholarship, and to enhance student learning through involvement in research. 3. Provide resources in geography, geology, and oceanography 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 MS in Geology was conducted in 2007 and completed in 2008. The reviewers identified primary strengths such as: 1) a solid geology program that covers the breadth of the discipline, 2) it offers diverse opportunities for graduate students, and 3) it prepares students well for their professional and academic futures. The external review committee indicated that students who graduated were well prepared for either further graduate work at the Ph.D. level or for careers as professional geologists in government or the private sector. The external review committee found that even though the M. S. Geology graduate program addressed the issues that were identified in previous 2000/2001 review, they also concluded that some of the problems were outside the department. For example, the review committee indicated that the greatest challenges facing the program were insufficient space (teaching, research, and storage) and low graduate student stipends that were neither competitive nor sufficient for student support. These challenges are outside of the ability of the program to successfully overcome without some major contribution from the university. The Department of Geography and Geology felt that the external review team adequately reviewed the program and concurred with the findings.

3. General program characteristics 3.1 Description of the MS in Geoscience degree program In 2013 the department of Geography and Geology (G&G) renamed the MS program from Geology to Geoscience and substantially altered the program to have 3 concentrations: geology, geospatial science, and Earth processes and global change. UNCW's coastal location facilitates coastal and marine geoscience research in a manner unequaled by other UNC institutions. Formal ties to the marine and environmental programs are fostered by geography and geology graduate faculty who routinely teach courses for, and advise students in, these interdisciplinary programs. 3.1.1 Educational Objectives: The MS in Geoscience has both thesis and non-thesis options which provide a foundation for employment in the environmental fields including consulting, mineral and energy industries, and government agencies. The thesis option prepares students for professional employment or advanced study leading to the doctoral degree and the non-thesis option prepares students for professional licensure in geology or professional certification in Geographic Information Processing (GISP). Specific objectives of the program are: 1. Develop research competence in the geosciences. 2. Develop professional competence in the assessment of water, energy and mineral resource potentials through the integrated analysis of geological and geographical data using advanced technologies. 3. Develop a level of research competence in the geosciences that encourages continued effort towards an advanced (e.g., doctoral) degree or professional licensure. 4. Provide the scientific community with meaningful geologic, geographic, and oceanographic data. As described in Section 7 below, the UNCW MS in Geoscience 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 As stated above, the MS in Geoscience has both a thesis and non-thesis options and three concentrations. The thesis option requires a minimum of 30 semester hours while the non-thesis requirement is 33. Each student must complete the requirements of one of the concentrations. Each student must complete an approved course of study within 5 years of the date of first registration for graduate study. In the thesis option, students must submit an approved thesis prospectus, successfully complete a comprehensive oral exam prior to registering for thesis hours, and complete, present and defend a thesis. In the non-thesis option, each student must complete either a final project or an internship, pass a written comprehensive exam, and submit and defend a degree portfolio of significant works.

3.3. How the Program Enhances UNCW The MS in Geoscience program provides the only Earth science graduate program at UNCW. The curriculum content of the program and the collaborations that have been formed with related disciplines makes this program an integral component of the natural sciences at UNCW. Faculty and their students interact well with Biology and Marine Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Studies, Marine Science, Physics and Physical Oceanography and Computer Information Systems by providing courses that students from these programs utilize and it is common for G&G faculty to advise and provide committee support for students in these other programs. For example, every year at least 2 or 3 Marine Science students are advised by faculty in G&G (Table 1). Table 1. Number of New Graduate Students by Academic Year Date (Academic MS MS Marine Year) Geology/Geoscience Science 2007 - 2008 4 3 2008 - 2009 3 3 2009 - 2010 9 1 2010 - 2011 4 3 2011 - 2012 6 3 2012 - 2013 11 2 2013 - 2014 17 2 2014 -2015 12 1

3.3.1 Mission of UNCW: Graduates of the MS in Geoscience (formally Geology) work in the local, regional, national, and international locations for private, not-for-profit, and non-governmental organizations. They provide professional expertise to these organizations and exemplify the educational mission of the university. For example, recent graduates work for The Coastal Federation, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the US Army Corps of Engineers, and both large and small businesses such as Catlin Engineering and Shell Oil. Faculty and graduate students frequently conduct research projects within the UNCW region and provide valuable information for natural resources management. Students in the non-thesis option undertake both paid and unpaid internships with local and regional organizations which is a perfect example of the close ties our department and the MS in Geoscience program has with the community. Our program is highly regarded for applied and experiential learning opportunities (http://uncw.edu/qep/Progress.html) and has received four ETEAL grants in two years (2013 and 2014).

3.4. Program Strengths/Weaknesses 3.4.1. Comparison with other graduate programs: In comparison to other graduate programs at UNCW, the MS in Geology (now Geoscience) has shown continued growth and in 2013 was ranked 28th out of 54 programs (Table 2). In a comparison of all MS programs at UNCW, the Geology program was ranked 10th (out of 12 programs) in total number of students in 2013. However, in 2014 the number of students in the program has risen to 43 active students which represents an 80% growth over 2013 and moves the program up to 4th place behind Chemistry, Nursing, and Accountancy. There are several reasons for the continued growth in the MS program, but perhaps the two obvious reasons are 1) we have hired 8 new faculty in the past few years and these replacements have provided a wealth of new and exciting opportunities for our undergraduate and graduate students and 2) we have renamed and reconfigured the MS in Geology to MS in Geoscience and have broadened the content to reflect the faculty diversity in geospatial technology and oceanography.

3.4.2. Educational objectives: According to the 2013 Assessment report, all graduate students conducting thesis research have either met or exceeded expectations (educational objective #1). Five graduate students defended their MS in Geology thesis in 2013 and 71 faculty filled out assessment forms during the public presentations and 12 committee members read and assessed the thesis documents. Evaluations of the internship programs are all positive. Employers are satisfied with the student interns and the students are satisfied with the experience. Given the recent increase in number of non-thesis students there will be a need for more internship sites and increased oversight of the internship program. Students complete program exit surveys and one of the findings is that they request more diversity in the course offerings. Given the difficult balance between undergraduate and graduate course offerings and the need for minimum enrollments in each course, it is challenging to provide the breadth of courses that the students would like to take. Therefore, we have experienced an overall small increase in the number of graduate courses being offered each semester and also an increase in the number of Directed Independent Studies classes where students get the necessary information prior to working on thesis research. Even though we have had several new faculty hires in the past few years, our department has not replaced the faculty who have retired or left UNCW. Given the growth in the undergraduate and graduate programs we will need to be able to hire 1-2 faculty in the next few years to make up for the shortfall in faculty lines. Additionally, we may have 3 additional retirements over the next few years, which will dramatically impact the ability to keep up with student demand.

All students who have completed the MS program have either obtained professional employment or have entered PhD programs (objectives #2 and #3). The graduate student retention rates are consistently over 90%, which is a sign that students are happy with the graduate program.

There are several methods for announcing research accomplishments in order to increase the opportunities for future use of the wealth of data and information generated by the faculty and students. First, all theses at UNCW are published electronically via Randall Library. Second, the department is developing a workflow for disseminating all thesis and peer-reviewed publication abstracts via the department website. By announcing the results of projects via the website we are anticipating higher traffic and increased requests for further information. Ultimately, we need to do a better job publicizing our accomplishments. Not only will this increase the potential for increased student interest but it can also increase the number of research collaborations.

4. Certification, Interdisciplinary, and Other Programs The Department of Geography and Geology offers a graduate certificate in GIS. Additionally, various faculty members from the Department of Geography and Geology are involved in seven graduate degree programs other than the geology graduate program: Master of Science in Marine Science, Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, Master of Science in Marine Biology, Ph.D. in Marine Biology, Master of Science in Environmental Studies, Master of Coastal Ocean Policy, and Master of Education. 4.1 Graduate Certificate in GIS The Department of Geography and Geology offers a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program in Geographic Information Science. Geographic Information Science (GISci or GIScience) is the academic theory behind the development, use, and application of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, data visualization, global positioning systems, spatial analysis, and quantitative methods. The purpose of this graduate certificate in GIScience is to provide students with a solid foundation in GIScience and enable the students to explore application areas that utilize this technology. The curriculum is a mixture of core courses that teach the fundamental theory and application of geospatial technology and electives that cover the vast range of this burgeoning technology in disciplines such as computer programming; field methods including GPS technology and spatial analysis; environmental and ecological applications; geological applications in oceanography, coastal and upland environments; and quantitative analysis and database management. The graduate certificate in GIScience is intended to provide a mixture of theory and practical knowledge. The GIS certificate is designed to serve: 1) students who wish to acquire technical expertise to support knowledge gained in other graduate programs and 2) returning students who wish to acquire expertise to further their current and/or future job requirements. At the end of the program, students will employ a balanced combination of theory of spatial concepts and practical application of GIScience techniques to spatial problems in their own field of study. Seventeen students (in fall 2014) are enrolled in the program and three Geography and Geology faculty (Ghoneim, Halls, and Pricope) teach courses that directly apply to the certificate program. 4.2 Master of Science in Marine Science The College of Arts and Sciences, in conjunction with the Center for Marine Science (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 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 students (in fall 2014) are enrolled in the program and twelve Geography and Geology faculty (Nooner, Lane, Loh, Hawkes, Hoffmann, Ghoneim, Leonard, Laws, Kelley, Halls, Gamble, Henry) teach courses that are included as part of the marine science M.S. program curriculum as either electives or as core courses. One course (GLY 550 – Marine Geology) offered in the geology M.S. program serves as a core foundation course for the marine science graduate program. Additionally, GLY501 (Methods in Scientific Research) is required of all students in the marine science program who are pursing geological studies. Geography and Geology faculty who advise MS Marine Science students varies from year to year depending on student interest. There are currently eight Geography and Geology faculty (Ghoneim, Halls, Hawkes, Hoffmann, Kelley, Lane, Leonard, Loh) advising students in this program as either primary advisor or committee member. 4.3 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.

5. Geosciences Graduate Facilities

5.1 Classroom Facilities The Department of Geography and Geology and the Geosciences Graduate Program is primarily housed in DeLoach Hall, where it moved in August 1997 after a 1.5 million-dollar building renovation project. The department shares its space with the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography, and is assigned 42 rooms (15,570 sq. ft.) in the building. Presently there are two lecture classrooms, eight teaching laboratories, and one seminar room utilized for geosciences graduate instruction. The two traditional lecture classrooms combined accommodate 141 students. The teaching laboratories can house between 5-32 students depending on lab seating, and the seminar room accommodates up to16 students. All of the rooms including the teaching laboratories in DeLoach Hall are equipped with Internet access ports. All rooms also have wireless access through the recently upgraded Hawkwifi system. Both classrooms and all teaching laboratories have SONY multimedia projectors controlled by a Windows-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. One large 200-person lecture room and two additional teaching classrooms are available for geosciences graduate instruction at CMS and can accommodate approximately 45 students and have wifi access. The teaching laboratories for graduate instruction in DeLoach Hall include: Mineralogy Laboratory; Petrology Laboratory; Soil and Sedimentology Laboratory; Spatial Analysis Laboratory; and Stratigraphy and Paleontology Laboratory. These are discussed in detail below. Mineralogy Laboratory: This 738 sq. ft laboratory is located on the second floor of DeLoach Hall (RM 224). It is equipped with workspace for a maximum of 16 students. The lab houses the Geosciences Mineralogy Collection, and contains equipment to conduct microscopy, specific gravity, and material property investigations of minerals and rocks. Although labeled as the mineralogy laboratory, a variety of other courses and student groups utilize this building space as a lecture and laboratory classroom, as well as a meeting room. Drs. Blake and Smith supervise the Mineralogy Laboratory. Petrology Laboratory: This facility (676 sq. ft.) is located on the second floor of DeLoach Hall (RMS 222/224A). The lab is equipped with eleven Olympus BH-2 petrographic microscopes, ten Leica Dm EP petrographic microscopes, three Olympus BX 50 petrographic microscopes, hundreds of thin sections, and several tons of rock hand samples. Thin section production can completed in house there on a Hillquist Cutoff Saw and Grinder, as well as in the Petrology Preparation Lab (see below). Although labeled as the Petrology Laboratory, a variety of other courses and student groups utilize this building space as a lecture and laboratory classroom, as well as a meeting room. Drs. Blake and LaMaskin supervise the Petrology Laboratory. Soil and Sedimentology Laboratory: The laboratory is a 720 sq. ft. room located on the second floor of DeLoach Hall (RMS 217/218). The lab contains equipment and supplies needed to conduct grain size and compositional analyses, wet chemistry, and water filtration. Specific analytical equipment includes glassware, drying ovens, top- loading and analytical balances, muffle furnaces, distilled water, sieves, sieve shakers, centrifuge, acid hoods, hydrometers, magnetic stirrers, hotplates, vacuum pumps and filtration apparatus, and a Windows-platform computer having Internet access. This lab is a multi-user facility and is supervised by the geosciences graduate faculty users and graduate students assigned additional responsibilities in any given semester, as well as Yvonne Marsan. Spatial Analysis Laboratory: This 636 sq. ft. facility, directed by Dr. Joanne Halls, is housed on the first floor of DeLoach Hall (RM 125) and is equipped with 20 workstations having an ESRI site license (ArcGIS-Arc 10.2), ENVI (5.0), IDRISI Selva, MATLAB, and ModFlow capabilities. Peripherals include a high resolution scanner Epson Expression 10000XL, large format HP 4020ps plotter, HP CP6015xh color laserjet high-resolution color printer, and a HP 600 M601 printer monochrome laserjet printer.

Stratigraphy and Paleontology Laboratory: The Stratigraphy and Paleontology Laboratory is a 994 sq. ft. room on the first floor of DeLoach Hall (RM 105). The lab is equipped with one non-operational fume hood, several large tables, and a sink. The laboratory also includes twelve Leica and fifteen Bausch and Lomb binocular microscopes, and collection specimens for both petrographic and microfossil analysis and invertebrate paleontology/petrography teaching. This lab is a multi-user facility and is supervised by Drs. Kelley, Laws, and LaMaskin, as well as Yvonne Marsan. 5.2 Research Facilities The research space available to geoscience graduate faculty in DeLoach Hall is inadequate for effective conduct of research because of the lack of secure dedicated research space. Research and related activities typically take place in the teaching laboratories or one of the following research laboratories: Advanced Microscopy Laboratory; Clean Laboratory; Environmental Hydrology Laboratory; Geologic Materials Laboratory; Remote Sensing Laboratory; and X-ray Diffraction Laboratory. The 838 sq. ft. of research laboratory space in DeLoach Hall is shared by19 faculty (44 sq.ft. /faculty), an increase of 2 faculty since the last MS review but five new faculty total (3 retirements). All of this space is shared and multi-user (undergraduate, graduate, and geoscience graduate faculty research investigating a variety of research projects). In contrast, the research space available to geoscience graduate faculty housed at CMS is adequate for effective conduct of research. The seven geoscience 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 geoscience graduate faculty at CMS. Geoscience faculty who conduct marine-related research also have access to a research vessel fleet that includes vessels ranging in size from 13 to 68 ft. Most geosciences 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 Windows-based IBM- compatible computers with word-processing, graphics, presentation, and statistical software as well as a laser printer are available for their use in this space, Wireless access is available. A subset of students are housed in the Petrology Laboratory storage space (RM 224A), which includes desk space, a Windows based computer, printer, sink space, and Internet access. Graduate students also have access to the Cartography Laboratory in DeLoach Hall that is equipped with 15 Windows-based computers with word-processing, graphics, presentation, and statistical software, a color scanner, a laser printer and a large-format color plotter. Some students only have office space in faculty offices or research areas. Five additional graduate students are assigned desks in DL 211A (8 total desks, shared with physics MS students). On the main campus of UNCW and at CMS, several laboratories having various research focuses provide primarily equipment support for geoscience graduate faculty and their students. Descriptions of these laboratories are listed below. 5.2.1 DeLoach Hall and Academic Support Building: Advanced Microscopy Laboratory: This 400 sq. ft facility housed on second floor of DeLoach Hall (RM 215) is intended for faculty and graduate student research. Houses a Olympus BX-60 (1.2X and 2.5X) and Leica M165C research-grade binocular microscope and a Leica DM2700P with attachable Leica DFC 450 camera as well as a Leica DMEP research-grade stereo microscopes. The lab also hosts a fume hood for zircon separation and sample preparation, a magnetic separator, light table, a sink and cabinets for storage. This facility is over utilized and houses many undergraduate and graduate projects which make the room crowded and inefficient. A larger, more suitable room is required for this purpose. Clean Laboratory: A 177 sq. ft., single hood clean laboratory originally constructed for isotope separation work is located on first floor DeLoach Hall (RM 115E) now houses a diatom slide preparation lab supervised by Dr. Laws (Air flow and temperature have been unstable in this facility). The small size of the room precludes its use as an undergraduate laboratory and it is used primarily for geosciences honors and graduate research sample preparation. Environmental Hydrogeology Laboratory: This facility is housed on second floor DeLoach Hall (RM 212) in a small room (~170 sq. ft.) and is supervised by Dr. Eric Henry. The laboratory was originally a lecture preparation room for the adjacent Physics lecture classroom, which is now heavily used for physics 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 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. In association with this lab, an AMS 9100 ATV PowerProbe percussion coring system is stored in a cargo trailer on the east side of campus for use in hydrological and sedimentological research. Geologic Materials Laboratory: A subset of geoscience graduate faculty teach courses and conduct research involving the petrologic evaluation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, as well as paleontological samples. Topical interests are varied and the Geologic Materials 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 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 analyses of material specimens, 2) prepare samples for mesoscale to microscale petrographic analysis, and 3) prepare powdered samples for geochemical analysis and detrital and crystalline zircon extraction. Academic Support Building: Approximately 770 sq.ft. in the Academic Support Building (RM 107) on the east side of campus contains a variety of electrical equipment, work tables, and limited sample storage space. The laboratory is located in a secure workroom in the rear of the building. It has a keyed access and is supervised by Drs. Blake and LaMaskin. The supervisors, through the administrative staff, assign keys to faculty and geosciences graduate students who plan to use the laboratory as part of their teaching responsibilities, geosciences thesis or individual geosciences, graduate faculty research efforts, or special needs projects. Users 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. They must be made aware of the proper use and cleanup of the lab by the supervisors or a trained graduate assistant. A written set of policies and procedures for laboratory equipment operation is provided to each new user. A sign-up sheet registers the geosciences graduate faculty and 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 lighted, 200 sq. ft. storage building located immediately across from the Geologic Materials Lab on the rear side of the Academic Support Building. There, geosciences graduate student thesis and graduate faculty research rock samples and rock core are archived. The geosciences graduate program shares this building with the Anthropology Program, and has use of approximately 1/3 of the building. This space is secured by a key padlock on the door. 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, BICO UA V-belt driven pulverizer, BICO VD chipmunk jaw crusher, 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, Fischer Scientific General Purpose drying oven, Thermolyne Extra-Capacity hotplate, 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, one fume hood located in the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory in DeLoach Hall is used to facilitate hydrofluoric acid work required to stain rock samples for modal analysis. Within this facility, a spectrum of geosciences and marine science graduate students, and geology/geosciences undergraduate students and geosciences faculty have the capability of preparing a variety of petrographic and geochemical samples for qualitative and quantitative analyses. Soils and Sedimentology Analysis Laboratory: This facility contains 720 sq. ft. space located on the second floor of DeLoach Hall that is split into two separate (RM 217, small, and RM 218, large) laboratories. This space has a dual purpose whereby RM 218 is dedicated to applied learning and RM 217 to storage, sediment prep, specialized equipment, chemicals, and distiller which are not suitable for general use space. The labs are intended for faculty and student research with maintenance and operation assistance by Yvonne Marsan. The area has a double- basin sink and an attached lab bench.

6.2 Non-Tenure Track Faculty Historically non-tenure track faculty have been hired by the department to teach University 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 are typically for a semester or academic year period.

In 2013, a candidate who had accepted a full-time, tenure track position in the department in the area of tectonic geomorphology, and was granted a one-year deferral, defaulted on his acceptance. This left the department in need of someone to cover GLY 101 (University Studies). Patricia Mason was hired as a full-time temporary replacement for the 2014-2015 academic year.

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.Sci. 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).

7.0 Graduate Students 7.1 Student Profiles From 2007 to Fall 2014, the graduate program in geology received 129 completed applications, of which 86 were accepted into the program (67 % acceptance rate; Table 3). During that time, 70 students matriculated in the program, with ten (10) of these students choosing to follow the non-thesis option.

Forty three (43) percent of the matriculating students were female (Table 4). The department has had some success attracting underrepresented minority applicants. Since 2007, the program has matriculated eight (8) minority students, representing 11% of the total. Over 67% of the matriculated students in the Master of Science in Geology (and now Geoscience) 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 Nepal, Egypt, and Jordan. The program has enrolled students from the following North Carolina undergraduate institutions: Western Carolina University, UNC Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University (NCSU) and UNCW, and from the following out-of-state universities: Ohio State University, Coastal Carolina University, Georgia Southern University, Eckerd College, West Virginia University, Cornell University, Mt. Holyoke College, George Mason University, Mary Washington College, St. Lawrence University, Emory, Rutgers University, University of Mississippi, Wheaton College, College of William and Mary, Southern Connecticut State University, Salisbury University, Boston University, Heidelberg College, University of Hawaii Hilo, Northeastern University, Hanover College, James Madison University, and University of Arkansas.

The UNCW Graduate School and the Department of Geography and Geology requires that students seeking admission to the graduate program in geoscience must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university or college (or its equivalent in a foreign institution based on a four- year program) in a discipline appropriate to advanced study in the geosciences. Students should have a strong overall academic record with a “B” average on the basic courses prerequisite to geoscience and satisfactory scores on the Graduate Record Examination. Upon entrance into the master’s program, the student’s advisor may identify deficiencies and recommend remedies. All deficiencies must be removed before a student is accepted as a candidate for the degree. Exceptions to these entrance requirements have been made in extenuating circumstances such as, but not limited to, 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 5 lists the average GRE scores each year for students matriculating in the geology M.S. program between 2007 and 2014 (Fall). Please note that the Education Testing Service (ETS) made a serious change in the scoring of the GRE for post-2013 applicants (see URL: http://www.ets.org/gre/institutions/scores/interpret). This resulted in a conversion chart that suggests that GRE score values pre-2013 were measured significantly differently than post-2013. In order to compare the pre 2013 GRE scores with the post 2013 GRE scores we have converted all scores to the pre-2013 scoring system. The average GRE scores from 2007 to Fall 2014 were: verbal (GRE-V): 508, quantitative (GRE-Q): 602, analytical writing (GRE-A) component: 3.9. The mean verbal GRE scores (508) for matriculated graduate students are in the 62-64 percentile, similar to the reported average score (510) for all students in the Earth, Atmosphere and Marine sciences that have taken the GRE (see the URL: https://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/gre_guide_table4.pdf). The mean quantitative GRE scores (602) are in the 44-49 percentile and are below the average score (690) for students in this field. The reported analytical writing GRE scores (3.9) are in the 50 percentile and are slightly higher than the mean reported score for similar students (3.8). In the last three years, we have seen an improvement in the GRE verbal and analytical writing score. This is viewed as a very positive trend, as faculty feel that strong verbal/written skills are essential to the timely and successful completion of the master's degree.

7.2 Recruitment Efforts The master's in geoscience program recruits students through maintaining a current web site (URL: http://www.uncw.edu/msgeoscience/index.html), that includes separate pages with information and photographs of current students and 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 August 2014, a recruitment video addressing the MS Geoscience program was completed and uploaded to the web page. This video was part of the initiative by the Department to improve our visibility at the local and regional level and was supported by funding from the Graduate School to cover the costs. This effort appears to have modestly increased the traffic of prospective students, especially those students outside of the southeast Atlantic region and international, to our web site. In addition, we rely on modified forms of recruiting that include the development of a new MS Geoscience brochure (Summer 2014) that addresses the changes in the graduate program. This brochure, funded in part by the Graduate School as part of the initiative to increase graduate school enrollment, is in both a glossy brochure and color PDF that can be either mailed or emailed to undergraduate geology departments at other southeastern colleges and universities, and to local environmental, engineering and geological firms. This new MS Geoscience brochure can now be update and revised more easily (in the PDF format) to address any future changes to department faculty membership or change in areas of research and investigation. 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 (sometimes with the help of the Graduate School) typically absorbs the fees associated with booth rental and advertising. In the last seven years we have recruited mainly at the southeastern sectional meetings and occasionally at the national Geological Society of America meeting (cost prohibitive in the last 3 years). At each meeting, a record of interested students is maintained (with email addresses), which the Graduate Coordinator uses as a contact list to provide these potential students with further information on the MS Geoscience program. Since 2007, we have matriculated seven students who were recruited through these meetings. In addition, faculty and students who attend national (or other discipline) meetings post advertising flyers to aid our recruiting efforts. 7.3 Orientation The Department of Geography and Geology has an 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, often in coordination with the Graduate School, 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 (currently under review and revision for AY 2014-2015) that is available on the departmental website (URL: http://www.uncw.edu/msgeoscience/current/handbook.html). 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. 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. An additional orientation for all graduate students, which is also administered by the Graduate School, is held at the beginning of each fall and spring term. Important academic deadlines, scholarship and funding opportunities, health insurance, and new Graduate School policies that impact the students are discussed. 7.4 Advising In the Department of Geography and Geology, each thesis-option graduate student has an individual graduate advisor who serves as the chair of the student's graduate advisory committee. Non-thesis option graduate students are initially advised by the Graduate Coordinator until a faculty adviser is determined (generally related to the direction of the non-thesis student area of investigation or internship). Normally, full-time students (e.g., GTA stipend funded) 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. 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 or non-thesis project or internship and the design of the research/internship program. The graduate advisor also provides guidance during the research/internship project and critically edits the thesis/project 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, he or she must apply for a courtesy (generally 3-year appointment) 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. Each advisor has a degree audit form (obtained via SEANET database on the university server) 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. 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 Currently, the Department of Geography and Geology can award ten, 20hr/wk graduate teaching assistantships (GTA) each academic year ($11000). In AY 2011-2012, the GTA (per full time GTA) was raised by $1000. However, due to the requirement that ALL graduate students have health coverage (currently at ~$700/semester) and increases in graduate tuition rates, this increase has largely been made irrelevant. These GTAs are provided by the university through the Graduate School and are awarded on a competitive basis. Approximately one or two students per year are funded on either 20 hr/wk ($11000) or 10hr/wk ($5500) research assistantships (RA) during the academic year. These assistantships are funded by individual faculty research grants. In addition, other funds (usually related to part-time university funds secured by the Department Chair) are sometimes available to provide partial support (5-10 hr/wk, $1375-$2750) either during the regular academic semester or during the summer months (e.g., field course or laboratory section GTA; Table 6). Additionally, some graduate assistantships (GA) are offered through various administrative units on campus ranging from 5 hr/wk to 20 hr/wk positions. Students not receiving support through the department can apply for the GA positions, which are awarded on a competitive basis. “Out-of-state” tuition remissions (6 to 8 credit hours currently $8,951.60/each) are provided by the university and are awarded each year to qualified students in the department. These “out-of- state” tuition waivers allow the student to be considered as an ‘in-state’ student for tuition payment purposes. Students may receive either a complete or partial out-of-state tuition remission. Currently, the department can award six (6) fully funded (6 to 8 credit hour/semester) awards. Other tuition related funds are the New Scholar Award ($1000) that is also available to recruit highly qualified students. In addition, the department also has $9500 annually (from the Graduate School) to award scholarships to defray in-state tuition in fees. For Fall 2014, 18 students receive some support in the form of a GTA or RA, eleven (11) have received some degree of out-of-state tuition remissions, and eight (8) 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.

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 (< $500) 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 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. Up to five (5) 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 as well the laboratory preparation space between DeLoach Rooms 224 and 222. About 17 students use DeLoach 209 mainly to hold office hours. Several faculty in the Department also house graduate students in their offices in DeLoach Hall (due to lack of additional space). 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 2007 and 2014 was 93%. Of the five (5) students that left the program, four (4) left for personal/medical reasons, and the other requested a leave of absence and later withdrew from the program without completing the final manuscript. A total of 38 MS Geology (and now MS Geoscience) students graduated between 2007 and 2014 (Fall). The majority of the students elected the thesis option while five (5) students completed the non-thesis option. The time to degree for students who graduated between 2007 and 2014 ranged from 6 to 1.5 years. The median total time to degree was 3.2 years (Table 7). This median value is longer than the previous time to degree for 2001 to 2007 (2.75). In part this was due to the large number of retirements from 2008 to 2011. This resulted in the slowing of the completion of a number of graduate students who had to be shepherded through to completion by the Graduate Coordinator. The longer time to completion is also a result of students leaving UNCW for fulltime employment.

Table 7. Median time to degree (2007-2014) Year Number Median Time to Graduated Degree (yrs) 2007-2008 5 4 2008-2009 6 3 2009-2010 5 3 2010-2011 4 3 2011-2012 6 3 2012-2013 5 4.5 2013-2014 3 2.5 2014 (Fall) 4 2.5 Total/Average 38 3.2

Of the 38 MS Geology (or Geoscience) students who completed their thesis, 23 of these students matriculated between Fall 2007 to Fall 2014. If we compare the data (Table 8) for these students compared to the total number who completed, there is a definite improvement of the time to degree data for this cohort. Therefore, the recent improvement in time-to-completion is a positive sign that the faculty and students are dedicated to successfully completing the program.

Table 8. Graduation Data – Time to Completion – For 23 MS Geology (or MS Geoscience) graduate students who matriculated between Fall 2007 to Fall 2014 Time to completion Percentage/number of students 4 semesters (or less) 39.1% (9 students) 5 semesters 17.4% (4 students) 6 semesters 17.4% (4 students) 7 semesters 8.7 % (2 students) 8 semesters 4.4 % (2 students) 10 semesters 4.4 % (1 student) Mean: 5 semesters (2.5 years)

In addition the faculty and support staff of the MS Geology (now Geoscience) program also house and mentor MS Marine Science graduate students. In part this is due to the diversity of our graduate faculty. Although these students are funded through the Marine Science program, our program houses them, supervises their teaching or laboratory GTA and under GAG faculty thesis supervision. Since 2007, six (6) MS Marine Science graduates have completed their theses with time to completion results shown in Table 9.

Table 9. Graduation Data – Time to Completion – For MS Marine Science graduate students (under GAG faculty thesis supervision) who matriculated between Fall 2007 to Fall 2014 Time to completion Percentage/number of students 4 semesters (or less) 50.0 % (3 students) 5 semesters 16.7% (1 students) 7 semesters 33.3 % (2 students) Mean: 4 semesters (2 years)

8. Affirmative Action 8.1 Efforts to Obtain Support 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 demographics of the faculty in the Department of Geography and Geology do not follow this national trend when it comes to gender. Currently the faculty are 50% male/female. 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. Our diversity of non-white population (faculty and students) is significantly lower than the national average. As of 2013 (Census.gov), 28% of the North Carolina population is non-white and 22% of the US population is non-white. At UNCW, 17% of the student body is non-white (http://www.uncw.edu/aboutuncw/aboutJustthefacts.html). In the MS in Geoscience, less than 10% of the population is non-white. 8.2 UNCW Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policy (http://uncw.edu/policies/documents/02230EOandAA.pdf, accessed 10/15/14; policy revised September 7, 2012; December 22, 2009; revised and reformatted July 8, 2005) Source of Authority: 41 CFR 60; N.C. State Personnel Manual, Section 1 Related Link: Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Plan: Part One and Part Two Responsible Offices: Human Resources, Provost, Dean of Students I. Purpose The University of North Carolina at Wilmington is committed to and will provide equality of educational and employment opportunity for all persons regardless of race, sex (such as gender, marital status, and pregnancy), age, color, national origin (including ethnicity), creed, religion, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliation, veteran status, or relationship to other university constituents -- except where sex, age, or ability represent bona fide educational or occupational qualifications or where marital status is a statutorily established eligibility criterion for State funded employee benefit programs. II. Implementation A. This policy is established in accordance with 41 CFR Part 60 and is implemented in accordance with the following laws and their amendments: Title VII and Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Executive Order 11246; the Age Discrimination Act of 1964; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the American with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974; the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988; and NC General Statutes Chapters 116 and 126. B. To ensure that equal educational and employment opportunity exists throughout the university, a results-oriented equal opportunity/affirmative action program has been implemented to overcome the effects of past discrimination and to eliminate any artificial barriers to educational or employment opportunities for all qualified individuals that may exist in any of our programs. UNC Wilmington is committed to this program and is aware that with its implementation, positive benefits will be received from the greater utilization and development of previously under-utilized human resources. III. Violations of Policy A. Any individual with a concern, grievance or complaint of discrimination or retaliation should utilize the procedures available under the Code of Student Life, the SPA 02.230 UNCW EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY Page 2 of 2 Grievance and Appeal Procedures, the EPA Grievance and Appeal Procedures and the Faculty Grievance Procedures as appropriate. Harassment concerns and complaints must be filed in accordance with 02.210 Harassment Resolution Procedures. The existence of these internal procedures does not prohibit individuals from also filing claims externally with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or with the Office of Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education. B. No student or employee shall be subject to retaliation for bringing a good faith complaint pertaining to unlawful harassment or discrimination or for protesting such behavior directed against another member of the university community. C. Individuals may also contact the university’s EEO/AA Officer, Ms. JoAnn McDowell, at (910) 962-3160, ADA Coordinator, Mr. David Todd, at (910) 962-4287, or the Title IX Coordinator, Dr. Terrence Curran, at (910) 962-3718.

9. Summary of Research and Scholarship 9.1 Introductory summary statement The geography and geology faculty have an impressive record of research and scholarship. In the last seven years, faculty published more than 160 refereed articles, gave almost 450 presentations at regional, national, or international meetings, and received more than $8M in extramural funding. Individual accomplishments are available in the copies of the abbreviated curriculum vita appended to this document (Appendix A). Below is a summary of the accomplishments of faculty during the period under review. 9.2 Publishing, performances, or 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 authors or co-authors of 19 books, textbooks, laboratory and/or instructor manuals, 168 refereed publications, 449 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, Geological Society of America Bulletin, GSA Today, Geophysics Research Letters, Limnology and Oceanography, Water Resources Research, Journal of Geophysical Research, Geochemistry, Geophysics and Geosystems, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Catena, 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 capital equipment. Over the past seven years the department has been quite successful in obtaining extramural and in-house funding. Since 2007, 10 faculty members in the Department of Geography and Geology were principal investigator on 63 extramural grants worth $19,589,187 (Table 10). This represents nearly a two-fold increase in extramural funding from the last review cycle. The biggest programs in terms of funding include the National Science Foundation, NOAA/SECORA, USACE, and NC Sea Grant. 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. In the last seven years, geography and geology faculty received approximately $160,000 from in-house sources.

9.4 Presentations at refereed conferences Since the fall of 2007, 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 449 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 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 American Association of Geographers 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. Geography and geology faculty made presentations at one or more of these 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 36 professional organizations. In the last seven years, geography and geology faculty convened or co-convened at least 10 technical sessions at professional meetings. Faculty also organized and led numerous field trips sponsored by organizations such as the Geological Society of America. Several faculty were chair and organizer or co-organizer of regional and national workshops, symposia and meetings including the Southeastern Section Meeting of the Geological Society of America. The geography and geology faculty typically reviewed numerous 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, Catena, 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. In the last seven years, 13 faculty members served as members of National Science Foundation grant review panels. Numerous other faculty reviewed proposals for various agencies. 9.6 Honors and Awards Over the past 7 years, faculty in the Department of Geography and Geology were recognized 22 times for their contributions to research and teaching both within and beyond the university. The faculty continued a long and distinguished record of teaching excellence including awards both at UNCW, in North Carolina, and on a National and International Level. For example, Drs. Gamble and Kelley were recognized for outstanding service to the profession. In November 2014, Dr. Kelley was awarded “U.S. Professor of the Year” by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (http://uncw.edu/articles/2014/11/kelley_us_professor_of_the_year.aspx).

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 also serve as judges for events such as the North Carolina Geography Bee, Ocean Science 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. Recently several faculty have also given invited presentations at local high schools. Given the lack of geoscience and geography curriculum we feel that these community engagement activities are vital for the development of our disciplines. . 10. Goals and objectives: Strengths and weaknesses 10.1 Space Concerns By far the most critical problem that needs to be addressed is the insufficient space to conduct research. Unlike the adequate research space that is available at the Center for Marine Science, there is not sufficient space in DeLoach to satisfy the current demand by faculty and students. It is common that students are found working in faculty offices because there are no other options available. It is against University policy to have students in faculty offices where they have access to records and potentially a conflict of interest when faculty meet with students to discuss grades and progress. The lack of sufficient space for students to conduct research is directly related to the extended time to completion of the MS degree. For example, the Advanced Microscopy Lab houses 5 professors and approximately 15 graduate students. There are three primary needs: 1) more shared research space for maps, rocks, mineral separation and other geological research, 2) shared research space for computer research such as GIS, MATLAB, Illustrator, statistics, and other specialized software as well as preparing presentations and printing posters, 3) quiet shared research space for writing and conducting other smaller group meetings. The renovation of the Social and Behavioral Sciences building may help, but the department has no control over relocation or allocation of space in DeLoach Hall. 10.2 Fractionated Department Although the department of Geography and Geology is used to working this way, the faculty and students are divided among several different work spaces: DeLoach Hall, Center for Marine Science, Rock Lab and soon the renovated S&BS (STEM building). This severely limits interaction, leads to a breakdown of collegiality, severely limits the potential for collaboration, and pulls the Chair and Graduate Coordinator in different directions to deal with the people and spaces. There is also some concern that there is a growing division among the graduate students between the GIS Certificate Program and the MS in Geoscience. We need to pay close attention to the students and foster collegiality across all disciplines and among students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The recent addition of picnics and the GEO activities have helped to create a sense of community so we need to be sure to continue these activities. The faculty need to continue to set a good example for the students. 10.3 MS Student Funding There is currently no in-state tuition waiver (NC Law) and a limited number of out-of-state tuition waivers, which makes tuition a larger burden on our graduate students in comparison to other universities outside of North Carolina. The TA stipend is extremely low, which makes it difficult to compete with other universities for potential new graduate students. New and increasing fees (e.g. parking and health insurance) result in higher costs and no complementary increase in student funding support. It is remarkable that given the low assistance the numbers of new students in the MS in Geoscience grew by 30% this year. We attribute the student population growth to several new faculty and programmatic changes to geoscience, which now includes geology, geospatial, and global change. Related to low MS student funding, the time to completion is more than 2 years because students leave to take jobs before they finish their degrees. Leaving campus dramatically lengthens the time to completion and increases the odds of not finishing the degree. University Diversity services must work harder with our department to increase the student diversity and funding to attract non-white students. Although our department does a good job at securing external funding, these opportunities have decreased through the years and therefore Research Assistantship support for graduate students has also declined. There are several reasons for a decrease in external funding some of which include: 1) greater competition and less funding to support research; 2) faculty spend a greater amount of time conducting university service in comparison to the past, which decreases the time that is available to write grant proposals, 3) there is minimal support to develop proposals from the Sponsored Programs Office, which makes the proposal writing process even more difficult and time consuming, 4) managing an award is difficult given the current lack of administrative support, and 5) there is only 1 administrative support person in the department for 18 full-time faculty and there is a general lack of adequate support and communication from all related offices (e.g. purchasing, sponsored programs, travel, etc.), which places more burden on faculty to administer a grant. The result is many faculty feel disenfranchised after bad experiences and prefer to find alternatives to securing funding or not pursue external funding. 10.4 Programmatic Strengths and Weaknesses The Department of Geography and Geology recently substantially changed the MS program and already we have seen a substantial increase in the numbers of students entering the program. However, there are still some issues that need to be resolved:  We need to offer more graduate classes; however, the faculty workloads are over capacity and we don’t always have enough students to make the minimum enrollments. We need to think creatively to offer a breadth of topics, perhaps using 1- credit courses or block scheduling, in order to appeal to the students and also not further strain the faculty workloads. We need to pay close attention to balanced undergraduate and graduate focus of our teaching in order to provide excellent programs for all students.  Our department is known for its use of applied and experiential learning; however, these types of courses are a financial burden. In order to continue this endeavor we need to get financial support from the university and matching funds from NGOs/donors/granting agencies. In the past we have requested help from the office of University Advancement, but it has not been fruitful so we would like to obtain more assistance from this office in order to generate donor funding.  Although we are happy with the progress that has been made with the MS in Geoscience program, we need to further develop detailed guidelines to help the students progress in a timely manner. The program handbook and website need to be maintained on a regular basis, students need to regularly meet with their advisors, and the faculty need to be cognizant of the degree requirements. We have made substantial progress regarding the development and implementation of policies and procedures, but we need to continue this effort in order to make the program requirements as clear as possible.

10.5 Goals and Future Opportunities: Although conference attendance is good we need to increase visibility of UNCW when we attend. This will require the university pay for booths and materials to be on display. Our faculty and students will gladly attend and help spread the virtues of our program if we can get some financial support to do so. Our undergraduate geography internship program has existed for many years and has done a good job at placing students in the workforce. With the recent changes in the MS in Geoscience and the expansion of the non-thesis option we need to further develop internship opportunities at the graduate level. UNCW and East Carolina University are working together to propose a new PhD in Marine Science (name is still being discussed) and the department of Geography and Geology is actively involved in this endeavor. We are leading the interaction and development of the proposed program and look forward to successfully starting this multi-institutional degree. The program is currently in the planning stages and the Proposal to Plan will be submitted to the UNC General Administration in 2015. Although the department has a breadth of disciplinary expertise, there are disciplinary gaps across geology, geography, and oceanography. In geology, we currently have no expertise in volcanology/igneous petrology/high temperature geochemistry. We also expect to have two paleontology retirements in the near future, which will leave a large gap in the program. In oceanography, we have no marine geologist who works on samples derived from the modern ocean or sea-floor mapping. Sea floor mapping is also a technology that is needed in the Geospatial Technology program. In geography, we do not have a quantitative human geographer or a specialist in data visualization and web development. Given the research growth of the program (we currently have 42 M.S. students), our goal for the next 5 years is to expand the program by increasing the student population by 10% and ultimately the largest we expect the program to be will be 54 students (3 students per 18 tenure- track faculty). We will continue to maintain an up-to-date, uniform, and modern web presence. We will attempt to increase our presence in the community via applied and experiential learning opportunities. Several years ago we developed an alumni chapter and we would like to reconnect with our alumni and further develop this relationship; however, given the burdens and challenges we already face, we hope other offices on and off-campus (e.g. alumni relations) can help foster this relationship. A first step would be an open invitation to department picnics. Other goals are to maintain department recruiting materials and staff a booth regularly at conferences.

Associated Academic and Professional Experience

2002 – Present Teacher Workshops – UNC-Wilmington and SMEC

Several workshops have been conducted on Geology, Environmental, and Biological issues as well as Natural History. Many of these are focused on North Carolina, in particular the Coastal Plain. Topics include map interpretation, groundwater resources, mineral resources, and geohazard mapping and interpretation (floods, hurricanes), fluvial and coastal processes and integrated science modules with including environmental, biological, math, geography, and social sciences. Field trips and lab components accompanied all of these topics. Individual school programs and visits are also conducted and I actively loan materials for use by teachers in the area. I have made numerous presentations at conferences, workshops, and in individual schools.
