Proposal to renew the Earth Planetary and Space Sciences Institute (EPSSI)
at Michigan Technological University
1. Statement of Purpose
The Earth Planetary and Space Sciences Institute (EPSSI) is and will continue to be a focus for
interdisciplinary activities in earth, atmospheric, oceanographic and space sciences at Michigan
Technological University. EPSSI's purpose is to enable its members to offer programs and pursue
research opportunities in those disciplines that go beyond the scope of individual academic
departments.
2. Accomplishments
The renewal of an Institute is based in part on its past performance. Since being renewed in 2009, the
Earth Planetary and Space Sciences Institute has made significant contributions to the University's
mission in research and education.
•
Oversight and expansion of the Atmospheric Sciences PhD Program
Members of the prior
incarnation of EPSSI, the Remote Sensing Institute, designed, proposed, and oversaw the
creation and implementation of the PhD program in Atmospheric Sciences. The Atmospheric
Sciences PhD program allows faculty to recruit and retain students who would not be attracted
to the more traditional, departmental programs. The first PhD from the program graduated in
October 2013; at least two more are expected in the next six months. There are currently 13
students in the program in four departments (eight advisors). Six members of EPSSI are the
original faculty in the Atmospheric Sciences program. Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiatives in
Sustainability and Water attracted several strong candidates whose research interests are in
atmospheric science. New hires in Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences (GMES),
Chemistry, and Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) also joined the Atmospheric
Sciences faculty. With 11 faculty members, the Atmospheric Science program is one of the
major programs in the country. For comparison, well established Atmospheric Sciences
programs at the University of Wyoming and the University of Arizona have 10 and nine faculty
members respectively1.
•
Support for large, multi-investigator proposals
EPSSI has
aggressively supported large, multi-investigator proposals, primarily through commitment of
cost share to those proposals. Examples of those proposals that have been funded include the
NSF MRI Multiphase turbulent reaction chamber, and the NSF Collaborative research project to
investigate physical and radiative properties of North Atlantic free tropospheric aerosol.
•
Support for research infrastructure
EPSSI has supported
infrastructure enhancement, primarily through cost share for Research Excellence Fund – IE
proposals. Examples include an OC/EC analyzer in 2011 and a hi-vol sampler last year. The
Institute has committed $10,000 for an REF-IE proposal this year for a single particle soot
photometer in addition to $10,000 for an REF-IE proposal (submitted through Chemistry) for
acquisition of an ion-chromatography system.
•
Support for incoming faculty
EPSSI is committed
to supporting incoming faculty. To that end, the Institute has contributed $22,000 for startup
support for a faculty member in GMES. EPSSI has also committed cost share to proposals for
new faculty. New and untenured faculty within the Institute are asked to invite potential

collaborators and/or proposal reviewers to campus during the fall EPSSI seminar series.
Sustained research productivity
Figure 1 is a plot of the
cumulative overhead of all proposals associated with EPSSI since the Institute's last renewal.
(Note that capital equipment does not generate overhead and thus is not reflected in that sum.)
The plot shows that the members of EPSSI have a sustained and consistent record of procuring
funding to support their research activities. We believe that the Institute's support plays a role in
that success.
The EPSSI Seminar series
The EPSSI Seminar Series is
held in the fall semester. (It is a required course for the minor in Remote Sensing, see below.)
See Appendix A for a list of seminar speakers since 2009. It is critical that scientists (not just
graduate students) be exposed to the latest results and ideas. For this reason, the formal
presentations that these visitors make while on campus are an invaluable contribution to the
University's mission. In many respects, the informal interactions with faculty and students are
even more valuable. Moreover, Michigan Tech has a stated goal to become “a national
University of choice.” The University's reputation among faculty and scientists at other
institutions plays a role in that. We make an effort to ensure that external seminar speakers meet
with a range of EPSSI members, and as a result most or all of them leave with a very favorable
impression, contributing to improvements in Michigan Tech's national and international
reputation. The seminar series serves as a way for the various sub-disciplines within the
Institute to interact and spark new collaborations. We have also used the Seminar series to
promote interaction between Michigan Tech's main campus and research staff at the Michigan
Tech Research Institute by bringing in MTRI personnel for seminars. The average attendance
(estimated) at RSI seminars is 40.
Remote Sensing Minor
The Remote Sensing Minor,
Michigan Tech's first interdisciplinary minor, is administered by EPSSI. Five students have
received the minor since 2002. Eleven are currently enrolled. 198 students have taken UN4000,
Remote Sensing Institute Seminar2, since the fall semester of 2000.

3. Mission(s) and Proposed Activities
A mission is a specific task with which a person or a group is charged. As stated above, the Purpose of
EPSSI is to enable its members to offer programs and pursue research opportunities that would be
beyond the scope of individual academic departments. The specific tasks by which the Institute
accomplishes that Purpose are as follows:
•
EPSSI will continue to support and enable large, multi-PI proposals. Many research projects
require the expertise and resources of multiple investigators. Funding agencies today are
favorably inclined toward such large, multi-investigator, multidisciplinary projects. In the last
renewal, we committed to submitting at least three such proposals, a goal which we exceeded.
The primary means of support for such proposals is cost share, especially for NSF Major
Research Instrumentation (MRI) proposals, for which cost share is required. Support for
speakers through the seminar series also plays a role in such support, as the Institute has
specifically targeted potential collaborators as seminar speakers.
•
EPSSI will continue to contribute to the University's research infrastructure enhancement
efforts, through cost share for regular and REF-IE proposals. Funding for equipment can be
difficult in today's fiscal environment, yet that very equipment is what can make or break a
proposal. Preference will be given to equipment which will benefit multiple members of the
Institute. Equipment that will foster collaboration within the University (not just the Institute)
will also be supported.
•
EPPSI will continue to support new faculty by contributing to startup funds when appropriate
and possible.
•
EPSSI will continue to support and oversee the PhD program in Atmospheric Sciences. This
includes support for new faculty (see first bullet above) as well as support for existing faculty
(see following bullets). There are also administrative costs (e.g. secretarial support, processing
of graduate applications) that EPSSI covers.
•
EPSSI will continue to support recruitment and retention of graduate students for its members.
The Institute has placed a particular emphasis on recruitment of students in the Atmospheric
Sciences program, which is not covered by any department.
•
EPSSI will continue to support graduate and undergraduate education. In particular, EPSSI has
consistently provided funds for students (graduate and undergraduate) to attend national and
international meetings. Attendance at such meetings is critical for students, and benefits the
University by highlighting the research conducted here. EPSSI will also continue to fund
summer undergraduate research projects where appropriate.
•
EPSSI will continue its long-standing, successful seminar series, which brings 12 to 14
nationally and internationally recognized scientists in disciplines spanning EPSSI's purview to
campus every fall.
4. Justification for Renewal of the Earth Planetary and Space Sciences Institute
The Procedure to Renew an Institute3 includes the following statement on Justification for the Institute:
“Justification. A description of the rationale for establishing the Center/Institute and the anticipated
benefits from its creation.” Preceding that, under Mission Statement, is this statement: “This mission
3 http://www.mtu.edu/research/administration/vpr-office/pdf/render.pdf
3
provides the basis upon which later evaluations of Center/Institute activities will be made.”
When renewed in 2009, the Earth Planetary and Space Sciences Institute outlined the following
goals:
•
Support new faculty by contributing to startup funds.
•
Expand the University's research productivity and infrastructure.
•
Continue to support and oversight of the PhD program in Atmospheric Sciences.
•
Continued support for recruitment and retention of graduate students for its members.
•
Continued support for graduate and undergraduate education.
•
Continuation of the Seminar series to foster interdisciplinary research and education.
As outlined in Section 2, the Institute has done those things (see also Appendix B). Section 3 of this
document outlines the goals that EPSSI has set for the next five years.
As noted above, the Institute has aggressively pursued opportunities to enhance Michigan
Tech's research infrastructure through acquisition of equipment and support of personnel. Notable
support for acquisition of equipment and expansion of research infrastructure includes:
•
NRC aerosol neutralizer
•
an organic carbon/elemental carbon (OC/EC) field analyzer
•
a high volume sampler (American Ecotech, deployed at Pico Mt. Observatory)
•
an automated hi volume sampler (DIGITEL hi-vol DHA-80)
•
a high-powered light source for shock wave imaging
•
renovation of Dow 105 to accommodate the NSF MRI funded cloud chamber
•
an ultra-high resolution mass spectrometer, (2013 MRI cost share, $15000 committed, proposal
not funded)
•
an ultra-high resolution mass spectrometer, (2014 MRI cost share, $15000 committed, proposal
pending)
•
development of instrumentation to measure the source contribution function of organic gases
and aerosols from land surfaces (2014 MRI cost share, $50000 committed (over three years),
proposal pending)
•
acquisition of an SP2 soot photometer (2014 REF-IE cost share, $10000 committed, proposal
pending)
•
acquisition of an Ion Chromatography System with dual anion and cation capability (2014 REFIE cost share (proposal submitted through chemistry), $10000 committed, proposal pending)
In addition to the equipment and research infrastructure support listed above, EPSSI has fostered
Michigan Tech's research productivity through support of personnel. The Institute has funded three
summer undergraduate research assistantships4 for $10,300. Graduate student support totals $98,273,
and support for postdoctoral scholars is $109,451.
5. Structure and Management of the Earth Planetary and Space Sciences Institute
5.1 Advisory Council
Every department represented within EPSSI is entitled to representation on the EPSSI Advisory
Council. Members of EPSSI who are in the same department shall choose amongst themselves who
will represent their department on the Advisory Council. If not a department representative, the
4 Data from one of those was used as preliminary data in a proposal to DOE.
4
Director of the Atmospheric Sciences program, which EPSSI oversees, shall be an additional member
of the Advisory Council. The term of a member of the Advisory Council will be two years.
5.2 Director
The Director of the Institute, who reports to the Vice President for Research, is selected from the
members of EPSSI by the Advisory Council. The term of the Director shall be three years. A Director
may be re-appointed by the Advisory Council.
Duties of the Director include (but are not limited to) oversight of the day-to-day operations of
the Institute, coordination of the seminar series, oversight of the minor in remote sensing, oversight of
EPSSI's support of the Atmospheric Sciences PhD program5, and coordination of multi-PI proposals
supported by EPSSI. Additionally, the Director is responsible for the yearly report to the Vice President
for Research. In the interest of transparency and accountability, the Director shall also prepare and
distribute a yearly report to the Advisory Council of the Institute's finances. The report shall include an
accounting of expenditures greater than $3000. The Institute will provide funding for
secretarial/administrative assistance for the Director.
5.3 Centers within EPSSI
Centers may be established within RSI with the approval of the Advisory Council. Of course, Centers
must also follow the guidelines for establishment as set forth by the office of the Vice President for
Research. (see http://www.mtu.edu/research/administration/vpr-office/pdf/render.pdf) The Lake
Superior Ecosystems Research Center (LaSER) is the only Center currently authorized under EPSSI.
6. Space and Facilities
EPSSI, like most other Centers and Institutes at Michigan Tech, has no allocated space6. There are no
needs for space at this time.
7. Funding
Funding for the Institute's activities is provided by IRAD funds directed to the Institute from grants
affiliated with EPSSI (see Table 1).
Money from this indirect cost recovery will be used to fund the Mission and Proposed Activities
detailed in Section 3. The projected costs of activities EPSSI will undertake are shown in Table 1 (see
also Appendix B), while routine and administrative costs are shown in Table 2. All costs shown in
Table 1 are not expected yearly. In the event that multiple items come up in the same year and that the
Institute does not have the resources to fund all of them, the order of priority is reflected in the order of
listing in Table 1.
5 The Atmospheric Sciences PhD program is non-departmental; as such it is housed in the Graduate School, but
administered through RSI. The program is overseen/coordinated by an Atmospheric Sciences Program Director.
