North Carolina State University, College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences Records 1939-2003

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua135_013

The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences are produced mainly by three of the now-defunct departments that preceded it: Geological Engineering (1927-1954), Mineral Industries (1954-1967), and Geosciences (1967-1980). Records include reports, proposals, papers, curricula, meeting minutes, flyers and publications, official correspondence, and other items; newsletters from the State Climate Office; and meeting minutes from the NCSU Center for Marine and Coastal Studies Administrative and Planning Board. The North Carolina State University Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences, offering degree programs in marine sciences, geology, and meteorology, was formed in 1981 from the merger of the Department of Geosciences and the Department of Marine Science and Engineering. Instruction in geology at NC State dates back to the 1920s. The marine science program began in the 1960s and became a full department in 1978.

These recommendations are in part based on voluntary expressed preferences, on a general principle of rotation, and, whenever appro...

Instuction in geology at NCSU began in the 1920s within the Agronomy Dept. and also in the Dept. of Ceramic Engineering, which offered a curriculum in mining engineering. A separate Dept. of Geology was established in 1927 within the School of Science and Business. It was transferred to the School of Engineering in July 1937 as part of the university consolidation. In 1946, the Tennessee Valley Authority along with NC State and the North Carolina Department of Conservati...
