Dear Stakeholder,

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is responsible for managing the development of U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) energy and mineral resources in an environmentally and economically responsible way. A critical component of BOEM’s mission is protecting the environment while overseeing the development of OCS energy and marine mineral resources.

BOEM’s Environmental Studies Program (ESP) develops, funds, and manages rigorous scientific research specifically to inform policy decisions on the development of energy and mineral resources on the OCS, as required by law. This environmental and socioeconomic research is designed to provide BOEM the necessary information to assess, predict, monitor, and manage potential environmental impacts of the activities it authorizes.

As part of this effort, ESP staff prepare BOEM’s annual Studies Development Plan to cover a two-year planning period. The plan includes brief study descriptions, or profiles, that describe proposed studies for the upcoming fiscal year and for one successive year. These studies are designed to collect the information necessary to meet the needs of BOEM scientists, rule writers, modelers, decision makers and other users. Proposed studies are evaluated for program relevance, programmatic timeliness, and scientific merit.

BOEM is beginning to formulate its Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Studies Development Plan covering all BOEM energy and minerals activities. We invite you to submit study ideas for consideration in Alaska, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific OCS areas. Study ideas must be relevant to BOEM’s information requirements in the areas of biological, oceanographic (physical and chemical), traditional knowledge, and social sciences (including economic and cultural research).

I encourage you to review BOEM’s National Studies List for Fiscal Year 2022, which identifies studies BOEM intends to procure in FY22 (subject to funding availability). The current Studies Development Plan is online and the Environmental Studies Program Information System (ESPIS)  provides access to ongoing studies and completed reports. Brief summaries of recently completed studies can also be found in the archive of ESPIS Quarterly Reports. Please carefully consider BOEM’s ESP Strategic Framework – particularly the criteria and questions – when formulating your study ideas. Also note that BOEM is keen to advance research pertaining to fish/fisheries, climate change , environmental justice, and Tribal issues. Please comment on these topics when they may appropriately fit into the work you are suggesting.

Send your suggestions in a short paragraph via email to ESP by December 10, 2021, including an explanation of why BOEM should consider funding them in light of the points noted above. Please note that all submissions become property of the federal government. While suggestions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, there is no guarantee they will be accepted. Some ideas may be combined with other suggestions. Acceptance of an idea does not imply that the submitter will receive funding.

We appreciate your participation in this process and look forward to your suggestions.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rodney E. Cluck

The incumbent of this position serves as the Park Manager for the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and is the principal authority to carry out an overall management program for the national park. The San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park is located within the Pacific West Region of the National Park Service.

Established in 1988, San Francisco Maritime’s legislative purpose is to “preserve and interpret the history and achievements of seafaring Americans and of the Nation’s maritime heritage, especially on the Pacific Coast.” At 50 acres in size, San Francisco Maritime is small in footprint, but large in park resources and facilities. The park is in a premiere location on the city’s northern waterfront Aquatic Park Historic district, within which is the Sala Burton Maritime Museum building, Aquatic Park Pier and Aquatic Park cove; the Hyde Street Pier, home to the park’s fleet of historic ships and visitor and operational facilities; and the historic California Fruit Cannery warehouse, adaptively reused as a boutique hotel, and the park visitor center. The park headquarters, maritime library, and museum collections center are nearby in an historic military warehouse (Building E) at Fort Mason Port of Embarkation, part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Of the aforementioned park resources and facilities, Aquatic Park, Building E (as part of the Fort Mason Port of Embarkation), and the ships Alma, Balclutha, CA Thayer, Eureka, and Hercules are National Historic Landmarks (NHLs), our Nation’s highest, official recognition historical significance, thus San Francisco Maritime has the most NHLs of any park in the system. In the East Bay, the park has 86,000 sq. ft. of leased warehouse space to store materials and supplies for ships and facilities as well as large museum collections. Located next to San Francisco’s major tourist destination, Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco Maritime attracts 4 million visitors a year and thus has the 12th largest park visitation in the National Park System. These visitors’ first and/or last impression of the park is-largely influenced by their use and enjoyment of the park assets and facilities.

The park’s location, resources and exceptional maritime collections interest a broad and diverse range of maritime advocates, researchers, volunteers, partner organizations, community groups, elected officials, and other local to national public agencies. In addition to its many constituents, the park has several significant partnerships-the San Francisco Maritime National Park Associations, the Western National Parks Association, the San Francisco/Aquatic Park Senior Center and two Sea Scout units of the Boy Scouts of America.

San Francisco Maritime is both a national park unit and an internationally recognized maritime museum. Prior to being a unit of the National Park System, San Francisco Maritime’s properties and extensive maritime collection were part of a city maritime museum in a city park and a state maritime park on a city waterfront pier. In addition to the properties and maritime collection, the NPS inherited the local identity, strong museum management philosophy, and international reputation of these founding organizations, which present both challenges and opportunities to the Superintendent today, including: establishing a strong national park identify, professional NPS reputation for maritime ships and NHL structures, cultural landscape and artifact, history, archeology preservation; sustaining traditional maritime understanding and skills and occupations by NPS staff and volunteers; providing technical assistance to others challenged with preserving of these resources; becoming more relevant to an ethnically and culturally diverse range of visitors as both a museum institution and a national park; and revitalizing visitor experiences within the park and creating new educational program which take the park experience beyond its boundaries, locally and globally.

The park’s annual operating budget is $7,407,000, $500,000 – $2 million in project funds, and non- appropriated revenue sources and donations of more than $1,700,000 annually. Additionally, the park has historically received $2-10+ million in appropriations for multi-million-dollar construction programs to protect its assets. Approximately eighty-five (85) Full Time Equivalents and a volunteer workforce of 100 persons accomplish the park’s mission.

About the Project

Sea-level rise is one of the greatest threats to the global community. The UK Climate Change Committee stated that “climate change will exacerbate the already significant exposure of the English coast to flooding and erosion. The current approach to coastal management in England is unsustainable in the face of climate change.” Forecasting large-scale landscape responses is therefore essential to improved management and planning. However calibration of models is currently restricted to short-duration observational data. Newly-acquired palaeo archives from the southern North Sea (Fig. 1) provide an exciting opportunity to understand long-term responses of terrestrial and coastal areas to periods of sea-level rise. This project will utilise a large-scale palaeo dataset to develop landscape models of coastal change. Palaeo-coastline reconstructions can benefit stakeholders, decision makers and the public, providing storylines as to how landscapes may respond to future climate change.

During the last ice age, the southern North Sea comprised a terrestrial environment beyond the limit of the ice sheets, which extended across much of Europe. As the ice sheets melted, sea level rose, submerging this landscape to become the modern North Sea. Collecting core material from these environments is challenging and prohibitively expensive; but site investigations for new windfarms in the southern North Sea are providing a wealth of data, which means this research is extremely timely. Using this new offshore core material, which the supervisory team have unique access too, this studentship will use palaeo-environmental reconstruction techniques (e.g. microfossil analysis such as pollen and diatoms, and sediment dating), alongside landscape modelling, to build an integrated model of coastal palaeolandscape in the southern North Sea, to assess the ecological and landscape responses to rising sea level.

Objectives

In this project, you will work with leading scientists in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds, and CASE Partner Wessex Archaeology (the UK-leading consultancy in archaeological and heritage services) who have a wealth of expertise working in Quaternary sediments in the North Sea region, and beyond. Specific objectives will be developed in collaboration with the student and CASE-partner and include, but are not limited to:

• Reconstructing and dating the timing of palaeoenvironmental change in the southern North Sea using cores from offshore of Norfolk, the Thames and the Dogger Bank.
• Assessing the ecological and landscape response to rising sea level based upon stratigraphy and/or microfossils in the cores.
• Developing landscape evolution models of environmental change to rising sea levels during the early and mid-Holocene

Training, CASE partner and wider research group

This research project will build upon collaboration between the University of Leeds, the offshore energy industry and Wessex Archaeology, as well as existing research relationships with the Dutch Geological Survey (TNO), Utrecht University and Deltares. The successful candidate will have access to our expanding palaeoenvironmental laboratory within The School of Earth and Environment at Leeds and work along PhD students in similar areas, as well as in the Leeds Quaternary Group. The lead supervisor (Natasha Barlow) is currently leader of a large European Research Council project (RISeR) which focuses on the Last Interglacial environments in the southern North Sea which is complementary to this PhD, and is leader of the international PALeo constraints on SEA level rise (PALSEA) research group, therefore providing the potential for wider networking opportunities.

The project is supported by CASE Partner Wessex Archaeology who will provide an additional £3.5k over the 3.5 years of the studentship to enhance the students training grant (RTSG). There will be opportunities for one or more research placements (a minimum of 3-months) at Wessex, whose head office is in Salisbury. This will provide the student the opportunity for training (e.g. in pollen analysis and landscape modelling) as well as exposure to an archaeology and geoscience consultancy environment, during the course of the project. The successful candidate will also have access to a broad spectrum of training workshops facilitated by the DTP at the University of Leeds.

Student profile

The ideal candidate will have a background in Geosciences or Geoarchaeology, with a relevant degree e.g. Geography, Environmental Science, Archaeology or Geology. A keen interest in environmental processes is desirable, in particular with a focus on the coastal landscape. Some experience with microfossils (e.g. pollen, diatoms or testate amoeba) and/or landscape modelling would be desirable.

Funding Notes

This project is in competition for up to 26 fully-funded PhDs for UK, EU, and overseas candidates. Each scholarship will provide full tuition fees, tax-free stipend (£15,609 for 2021/22), and a substantial Research Training and Support Grant, for 3.5 years.
