FORM TO REQUEST SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO AN EXISTING UNDERGRADUATE MAJOR

Requests for substantial changes to existing programs require the approval of Curricular Affairs, the academic dean of the program, Undergraduate Council, CAAC, and the Provost.

I. Requested by (College – Department – Major): College of Science, Department of Hydrology & Atmospheric Sciences (HAS), request to switch from Environmental Hydrology (EHY) major to HAS major with EHY and ATMO subplans. This form identifies the changes to the HAS major with an EHY subplan. This request is valid only if our EHY and ATMO subplan request is also approved.

II. Proposer’s name, title, email and phone number: Martha Whitaker, Professor of Practice, marthaw@email.arizona.edu, 520-621-9715

III. Degree, major and number of students enrolled in the major: B.S. Environmental Hydrology & Water

Resources, ~30 enrolled

IV. Number of units required to complete this major: 125. The minimum number of units to complete the degree is 125 (38 units of General Education, 41 units supporting coursework, 46 units in the major/subplan). The minimum number of units to complete the major is 87 units (consists of 41 units of supporting coursework and major/subplan). Previously, when the Department of Hydrology was in the College of Engineering, we required 128 units to complete the EHY major, and this has remained the requirement and was considered an acceptable exception by the COS when he moved into the COS. We are voluntarily proposing 125 units to align with COS requirements, but only if the HAS major with EHY and ATMO subplans is approved.

V. Provide an explanation of the changes to the major and a rationale for them:

We are proposing a name change to our major from Environmental Hydrology and Water Resources to Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences. We are proposing the creation of (i) Environmental Hydrology and Water Resources and (ii) Atmospheric Sciences subplans in a separate proposal (submitted in tandem with this proposal). In order to meet ABOR subplan policies, we are updating our current curriculum, which will now serve as the EHY subplan, in the following ways:

We have decreased the number of units required from 128 units to 125, to streamline the degree and reflect the requirements of the College of Science (the 128 units reflects our previous requirements while the Hydrology Department was in the College of Engineering).

We have also replaced some out-of-department course requirements with courses taught by Hydrology faculty, to strengthen the students’ academic and practical hydrology foundations.

VI. Special conditions for admission to/declaration of this major – The only criteria for declaration of an EHY major is a 2.0 GPA. This will remain the same for the EHY subplan

VII. Comparison Chart–complete the chart below using your exsiting academic advisement report. You may not need to complete all portions. Highlight row(s) indicating the significant changes.

VIII. Peer institution comparison- We have no peer Department. We are the first and are unique, and we are the model after which others are based. The closest Hydrology Program is possibly at The University of California, Davis, which does not have a Hydrology Department, but instead has a Department of Land, Air and Water Resources, with a Hydrology major as part of their offerings. Two UA alumni (Graham Fogg, Thomas Harter) are part of the faculty that influenced the development of their hydrology program, largely based on UA’s HWRS program. Another Hydrology major is offered at The University of California at Santa Barbara, but it tends to be more policy-focused, and does not offer the breadth or depth of hydrology courses that UA HAS offers. In addition, the UCSB faculty member who founded their hydrology major is also a UA Hydrology alumnus, Lorne Everett, one of the first PhD graduates of the UA Hydrology Department. Accordingly, both of these “peer” hydrology programs are mere attempts to reflect the first, best hydrology program in the nation: UA Hydrology. And neither “peer” program is

housed in a Hydrology Department, whereas our EHY subplan (and correaponding ATMO subplan) is in the only existing stand-alone Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences.

Description of major

For over 50 years, the Environmental Hydrology (EHY) major has prepared students for entry-level technical positions and elite engineering-science graduate programs, and the proposed HAS major with EHY Subplan will continue to the same. While other schools have Hydrology programs, we are the only program in a Department of Hydrology & Atmospheric Sciences. A couple of other schools (e.g. UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara) offer a hydrology major, but within a larger Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources (UC Davis) or the Department of Environmental Studies (UCSB). Hydrologists mainly study the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth (but could also be other planets). They are interested in the water cycle, the space-time availability and quality of water resources, and in environmental watershed sustainability. They collect and analyze data to help solve water related problems such as environmental preservation, natural disasters, and water management. The science of hydrology subdivides mainly into surface water hydrology and groundwater hydrology (hydrogeology).

https://www.ucdavis.edu/majors/hydrology/ Hydrology Major Hydrologists address concerns related to the most fundamental and necessary of all natural resources: water. They study the occurrence, distribution, circulation and behavior of water in Earth's environment. Hydrology majors measure and analyze water phenomena on and below Earth's surface and in the atmosphere, seeking to solve problems that affect sustainability of both water quantity and water quality.

http://es.ucsb.edu/academics/hydro-sci-major/bs Hydrology is a science dealing with the occurrence, circulation, distribution, and properties of the waters of the solid earth and its atmosphere. Many of the significant environmental problems that society is facing today are related to hydrologic or water issues. These include the hydrologic impact of climate change; the transportation of hazardous materials in both ground and surface water; the maintenance of high quality water for human consumption, industry, irrigation, recreation, energy generation, and agriculture; the understanding of geological hazards; and the management of important aquatic environments. Because water is important to and affected by physical, chemical, and biological principles, the curriculum of the B.S. degree in hydrologic sciences is multidisciplinary. The main focus of the hydrologic sciences and policy program and major is to provide students with the scientific training needed to understand and solve complex hydrologic problems at local, regional, and global levels. The goal of the hydrologic sciences curriculum is to provide a rigorous framework for students to examine the hydrologic process in our environment. Although the program is housed within the Environmental Studies Program, the curriculum for this degree is offered cooperatively by the departments of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology; Chemistry and Biochemistry; Geography; and Earth Science.

In our department, a broadly-based program provides students with a well-rounded education in all major areas of hydrology and water resources. Students may concentrate in one or more of these areas of pursue complementary coursework in a variety of areas, including computer modeling, environmental chemistry, hydrometeorology, and water resources engineering.

Lower-division courses concentrate on the physical and natural sciences. In the upper division, students complete a core group of hydrology courses and then select one of the following three emphases: biology and ecology, physical and chemical sciences, or policy. Students in hydrologic sciences have the opportunity to conduct academic internships. Through the Environmental Studies Internship Program, a student majoring in hydrologic sciences can obtain valuable hands-on experience while earning academic credit towards major requirements. Students majoring in hydrologic sciences may also conduct independent research or serve as a research assistant with faculty members (Environmental Studies 199 or 199RA). In addition, the Environmental Studies Program offers a senior honors program for all qualified hydrologic sciences majors in which a student can receive a "Distinction in the Major" award upon successful completion of the program. The hydrologic sciences program is also affiliated with numerous study abroad programs and schools which provide students the opportunity to receive academic credit while conducting hydrological research around the world.

Target careers

UA EHY graduates have landed jobs as near as Tucson and Phoenix, and are employed on every continent except Antarctica. HAS-EHY graduates can expect a similar demand for employment. EHY graduates have obtained professional entry-level employment in environmental and remediation consulting, as well as City, County, State, and Federal agencies. Major employers include: U.S. Geological Survey, USDA-ARS, AZ Dept. of Water Resources, Tucson Water, Metro Water, Montgomery & Associates, Hargis & Associates, and Geosystems Analysis. Other graduates are well prepared for

Hydrology majors have found employment in private consulting firms, environmental interest groups and government agencies dealing with water resources. Major employers include the U.S. Geological Survey, USDA, EPA, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and California Water Resources Control Board. Other graduates have found their major excellent preparation for advanced degrees in hydrologic sciences and related fields.

http://www.es.ucsb.edu/academics/hydro-sci-major Students who graduate with a B.S. degree in hydrologic sciences and policy are prepared to do graduate work in such fields as environmental science, biology, ecology, chemistry, geography, geology, environmental engineering, and a variety of specialty programs in hydrology. Hydrologic sciences students are also often qualified for positions in environmental consulting and planning, water quality analysis, aquatic resource management, waste water treatment, as well as a variety of jobs with state and federal agencies. Students who are interested in pursuing a career in the hydrologic sciences are

graduate studies here (we offer an Accelerated Master’s Program in Hydrology) and other elite programs and institutions in hydrology and related fields.
