1. RSO Overview
A brief, concise statement detailing history of the RSO, its mission and scope, and its relationship
with academic departments on the campus, achievements, and plans for the future.
The Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies (RTC) is the marine research field station
of San Francisco State University and is located approximately 20 miles north of the main campus
on the Tiburon Peninsula. The original 23-acre parcel was acquired in 1978 by the late Paul F.
Romberg, then President of SFSU, as government surplus property and SFSU entered into a 30 year
lease arrangement under the auspices of the US Department of Education. In 2002 an additional
contiguous parcel of 11 acres was vacated by the federal government and brought into use by RTC.
This parcel is in the final stages of being turned over the CSU Trustees by a congressional
appropriation, bringing the RTC campus to a total of 34 acres.
The Center's mission is to perform basic scientific research and educate and train the next generation
of scientists. RTC scientists pursue their research in their laboratories at the Center, at field sites
around the world, and through collaborations with colleagues at other universities and institutions.
As an affiliate of San Francisco State University, the Center provides its students with graduate and
undergraduate level courses as well as practical experience gained through research conducted in the
field and in laboratories of Center scientists. Scientists at RTC strive to provide an interdisciplinary
understanding of complex marine and estuarine environments by pursuing research focused on
questions regarding fundamental marine issues, train the next generation of scientists, and provide
knowledge that allows informed environmental decision-making and stewardship.
Researchers, faculty and students study biodiversity, community ecology, ecological physiology,
evolutionary biology, microbiology, molecular biology, oceanography and wetland ecology and
restoration. RTC scientists are the recipients of numerous awards that support this type of research,
the findings of which are published in prestigious scientific journals. RTC has emerged as a major
player in establishing California cooperative science programs this year including -- CI-CORE, the
Center for Integrative Coastal Observation, Research and Education; CenCOOS, Central California
Ocean Observing Systems; and the proposition 40 initiative to support the monitoring of coastal
circulation off northern California.
RTC faculty and lecturers successfully accomplish their teaching mission both in their laboratories
and in the classroom. During the last ten years, classes were conducted on site at RTC, and on the
main campus. In the research laboratories undergraduate students and graduate students worked on
their research projects under the direction of RTC scientists, and students regularly publish the
results of their research and attend scientific meetings where they make oral and poster research
presentations.
Educational outreach goals are met in a variety of ways. Summer session classes at RTC are offered
through extended education and are therefore, open to the community. Project-based learning
workshops are conducted on-site by RTC researchers for middle and high school teachers in the fall
and spring semesters. RTC researchers also give presentations through out the year at community
organizations such as the Rotary Club of Tiburon, published articles in local newspapers, and served
as judges at county science fairs. In addition, RTC holds an annual open house event, Discovery
Day, where the general public is invited on-site to interact with scientists and learn more about
RTC's research and teaching activities. The solar installation on our Bay Conference Center, funded
by foundation and private donor dollars, exemplifies the goals of the Center and positions the
Page 4
university as an environmental leader in the community. RTC utilizes the electricity generated to
power the conference center, as well as our electric vehicle, and we offer electric vehicle charging to
the local community at no cost.
The Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies strives to be recognized as the leading
estuarine and coastal academic institution on the West Coast of the United States of America. As the
only marine science teaching and research facility located on San Francisco Bay, the 2nd largest
estuary in the United States, our laboratory stretches from our doorstep to coastal environments all
around the world. RTC’s goal is to provide modern innovative facilities and to secure the resources
to facilitate the scientific research necessary to comprehend and elucidate the complex processes of
estuarine and coastal marine environments. We endeavor to prepare the next generation of scientists
to carry on this critical work around the world through hands on research under the direct mentorship
of renowned university faculty. We are committed to serving the urban population by imparting a
means for the comprehensive knowledge and appreciation of environmental issues, sustainability
and stewardship.
To provide a foundation for future growth and development in a thoughtful, articulate and informed
manner, we have initiated and or completed a number of studies and documents. These include a
master planning document which is underway and scheduled for completion in spring 2006. The
master plan will cover programmatic aspects, as well as the assessment of facilities and
infrastructure necessary to achieve RTC’s mission and to plan for the future. A variety of other
studies have been performed by outside professional consultants, enabled by grants from foundations
or individuals. These include:
• RTC The Vision for the Future – Cheryl Barton, funded by private donation, $10,000, 1996
• RTC Feasibility Study – Cardaronella Stirling Associates, funded by the Marin Community

Description of university-industry/community activities
Community Education and Outreach
Community education and outreach is an articulated part of the Romberg Tiburon Center mission.
Our existing and developing programs are varied, and aim to reach a diverse audience. As a whole,
our outreach program reaches all segments of our local community, from school children, to
teachers, to retirees. Our faculty play a lead role in our programs, and we strongly encourage
graduate student participation as professional development, and to provide much needed teaching
experience. Additionally, we produce a spring newsletter and recently have begun to produce an
annual report.
Once a year RTC presents a marine science Teacher Training Workshop for approximately 20 to 25
local high school teachers. This one-day workshop, “Coastal Ecology Day,” involves morning
lectures and afternoon field trips that enable teachers to remain abreast of current scientific research,
and encourage the integration of research into marine science curricula and educational materials.
Both RTC faculty and graduate students teach and lead field trips, thereby promoting interaction
Page 33
between RTC scientists, graduate students and Bay Area teachers, and informing our local educators
about the research conducted at RTC.
As a partner with the Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM) on an NSF Informal Education funded
4-year project “My Place by the Bay,” RTC scientists serve as advisors during exhibit and program
development. Additionally, an RTC graduate student travels to BADM once a month for the Guest
Scientist Program, a two hour informal program of hands on marine science. RTC graduate students
participate in another component of the partnership as instructors at BADM Teacher Training
Workshops. These workshops present estuarine ecology in a classroom and field setting to bay area
teachers of K – 3 students.
BayQuest, with the Bay Model Association (BMA), is a half day shipboard program that takes
middle school to high school students out on the Bay on a 130 ft research vessel to experience field
biology first hand. On board, students are the “marine biologists,” and are rotated through four
stations – plankton, hydrology, ichthyology and benthos. RTC graduate students serve as onboard
instructors at each of the stations, and participate in post-trip classroom lectures focusing on careers
in science. RTC and BMA received an MSEIP grant from the Department of Education to fund five
trips per year for underrepresented SFUSD high school students.
In summer of 2006, RTC and Tall Ship Education Academy will launch a marine lab/tall ship
program for high school students. Students will spend six full days at the center, learning marine
science from RTC faculty. After the shore based program, the students will learn to sail aboard the
SV Seamans. The two week cruise will also involve collection of scientific data, which will be
analyzed the final two days of the program. Students who successfully complete the three week
course will earn three university credits from SFSU.
RTC participates in many off-site, one day events. Faculty members speak at local venues such as
the Belvedere Tiburon Library and community Rotary clubs, and participate in high school career
fairs. Annually our scientists volunteer their time as judges at the middle school and high school
Marin County Science Fairs. Additionally, all members of the RTC community participate in local
events such as Coastal Cleanup Day, Earth Day and many other local and national environmental
events.
Discovery Day
Discovery Day is RTC’s annual open house event of educational fun that includes marine animal
touch tanks, scientific exhibits, live music, art, and more. Discovery Day offers the public a unique
opportunity to spend the day behind the scenes learning about the scientific research activities that
take place at the Center. In addition to science- and art-related activities for children, the festival
includes exhibits by RTC scientists and students that highlight the Center’s contributions to
understanding and caring for the San Francisco Bay environment and beyond.
Discovery Day has been held on the following dates:

Teacher’s Workshop
The Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies (RTC) Educators’ Workshop is a venue for
RTC Scientists to enhance our role as an educational resource to San Francisco Bay Area educators
by providing scientific expertise, experimental assistance, and increased awareness of environmental
issues of importance to San Francisco Bay and the surrounding coastal regions. The workshop
promotes the interaction of RTC scientists with Bay Area teachers. The workshop consists of a
morning session of presentations on environmental issues being studied by RTC scientists. The
afternoon session is a field experience that exposes educators to how experiments and/or sampling
are conducted in the field by scientists. Each educator spends the afternoon in one environmental
setting studying a particular ecological process
Teacher’s Workshops have been held on the following dates:
November 6, 1999

3. Administration
Administrative responsibility for The Center resides at SFSU. RTC is administered by a
Director (Dr. Alissa J. Arp) who answers directly to the Dean of the College of Science and
Engineering (Dr. Sheldon Axler), the Provost (Dr. John Gemello), and the President of the
University (Dr. Robert Corrigan). RTC's scientific staff consists of the Director, other tenured or
tenure-track faculty with appointments in home departments at SFSU, research scientists,
postdoctoral associates, visiting scientist, research technicians, and an on-site staff. In AY 20042005 there were 3 undergraduate students, and 28 graduate students, 4 high school students, 4
interns, 13 student assistants, and 10 volunteers involved in laboratory research. RTC also has 21
Lessee scientists and support personnel on site.

• Art students, researchers and their staff, and affiliations
The SFSU Art Department utilizes one floor in Building 49 as graduate student studio space, and the
north beach area of RTC is used by the SFSU ceramics department for pit fires and fieldwork. These
campus colleagues were invited to join the RTC campus with the explicit intention of creating
linkages between the arts and sciences. This has been most successful at our community Discovery
Day, where the art department and ceramics students host activities, which engage the public in
creative explorations. Additionally, four research groups lease laboratory and office space at the
Romberg Tiburon Center, as detailed earlier.

4. Physical Facilities and Space
a.
Description of physical facilities
RTC is situated on a 34-acre waterfront parcel. The physical facilities are comprised of the original
six buildings: Building 36 - the main research/laboratory facility; Building 39 - the
administrative/teaching facility; Building 53 - the Bay Conference Center; Building 49 - the
Marine/Technical Operations Shops and the Art Department graduate studios; Building 50 - the
storage facility and Anthropology archives; and Building 20 - the Guest Center. On the former
NOAA parcel we currently occupy Building 54 - the physiology and wetlands ecology laboratory,
building 74A – the postdoctoral associates offices, building 74 - facilities headquarters and
boat/vehicle storage, Building 30 - faculty and student offices, and lease holders SERC, and Taxon.
RTC also owns several boats used for research including a 38' aluminum hulled vessel, the R/V
Questuary, a Twin V outboard, and a new 16’ Boston Whaler donated to the Center.
Physical Facilities: RTC has five major buildings that are currently in use. The main building is the
historic Navy Net Depot warehouse, which is approximately 25,000 ft2. Wooden frame structures
up to three stories high were constructed within this shell to house offices, laboratories, and other
elements of the physical plant, for a total area of some 20,000 ft2 of improved space and an open bay
of 12,000 ft2. An award by the NSF ARI Facilities Modernization Program of $1.6 million and an
accompanying $700,000 SFSU match enabled the modernization of this building, providing funds to
renovate existing laboratories and capture five new laboratory spaces and to upgrade all safety
aspects of the building. We have just begun phase II of the renovation of this building, a $3.2
million project that will add new laboratories, offices, classrooms and needed infrastructure, funded
by a combination of private foundation awards (W.M. Keck and Marin Community Foundation) and
federal monies awarded to the National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) program headquartered
at RTC.
A second building is the historic Officers Quarters (9,682 ft2) that has been converted into an office
complex. It houses the RTC Administration Office, two newly renovated large lecture rooms, PI
offices, and provides space which is rented out to non-University associated scientists. An
additional bay front building (12,000 ft2) houses the Ecology and Aquarium Facility with significant
space for seawater tables and tanks, and a fourth building is the historic Officer's Club (4,692 ft2)
which was converted into The RTC Bay Conference Center and completely renovated to include a
140-seat main hall, two meeting rooms, and a lounge. The fifth building is the original Commanding
Officer’s Residence, built in 1904, and located up the hill from the main laboratory facility, that has
been renovated into a short term visitors residence
(http://www.rtc.sfsu.edu/ogc/ohrenschall_guest_center.htm) with NSF FSML funds. The RTC
seawater system has been upgraded through support from the NSF FSML program as well. A 300
foot tethered intake line has been installed, and a sophisticated computer monitored mixing and
delivery system is in the design phase.
Animal: Invertebrate animals, plants and fish are housed at the Romberg Tiburon Center. In addition
to a large research wet lab (1500 sq. ft.) with running bay water, the Center has constructed an
animal culture room (700 sq. ft.), which is temperature-controlled and light-controlled and will have
running, filtered bay water and filtered sea water. In the Ecology and Aquarium Facility there is an
entire first floor comprising wet lab area, tanks and water tables. The Center has numerous sea water
Page 44
tables and aquaria. On the main campus, the Biology Department maintains two animal care
facilities. The general facility is located on the eighth floor of the biology building and a second
smaller isolation facility is maintained in the medical microbiology laboratory area.
Office: All RTC PIs and some postdoctoral associates have private offices both at RTC and in some
cases on the main campus in Hensill Hall. There also is a separate building that provides office
spaces assigned to postdoctoral associates and a shared space assigned to students.
Computer Networking and Communications: Computing and Communications Services at SFSU
operate and maintain computers that provide a variety of services to students, faculty, and staff. In
addition to campus-based resources, RTC students, faculty, and staff have access to the Internet free
of charge. Many PC, Apple, and other personal computers are available at the Center, and over 100
terminals are also located in various campus laboratories for student use. In 1997, RTC acquired
funding and installed a direct computer line and phone connection with the main campus that allows
high-speed connections for data exchange and software access. RTC has its own server and web site
(www.rtc.sfsu.edu) that is linked to the web site for the Biology Department and the University. We
also maintain a web site that presents real time monitoring data -- SF-BEAMS (San Francisco Bay
Environmental Assessment and Monitoring Station, http://sfbeams.sfsu.edu/) provides measurements
of bay environmental conditions that include water temperature, salinity, irradiance, and beam-c.
The station is located north of the Tiburon Peninsula off of the Romberg Tiburon Center pier. As a
member of the National Association of Marine Laboratories (NAML) and the Western Association
of Marine Laboratories (WAML), our web site is linked with the web sites of these organizations an effective way to advertise research opportunities and faculty positions.
Equipment: The University has supplied a core complement of general use equipment including
balances, spectrophotometers, centrifuges, refrigerators and freezers, fume hoods, a PCR
thermocycler, and a laminar flow hood. Some of the equipment (constant temperature rooms, and a
CHN analyzer) has been purchased with funds from NSF equipment grants awarded to RTC. An
NSF-MSI award provided for the purchase of a low background liquid scintillation counter
(Winspectral Guardian LSC from PerkinElmer) and a Europa gas chromatograph-stable isotope
analyzer (20-20 mass spectrometer, ANCA GSL elemental analyzer and Agilent 6890N GC
combination recently, and previously a Technician II Autoanalyzer system that measures the
concentrations of primary plant nutrients in water samples. These instruments are housed in a jointuse Nutrient Analysis Laboratory with additional instruments to measure rates of nutrient uptake,
carbon and Si(OH)4 uptake with scintillation counting, and nitrogen uptake with mass spectrometry,
The Nutrient Analysis Laboratory is supervised by a full time research technician who maintains
instrumentation, run samples and aid investigators and students who wish to run their own samples.
Other RTC equipment has been donated by local corporations, and other equipment too numerous to
list were purchased on individual grants and contracts to Center researchers. Additionally, a
molecular biology research laboratory was constructed three years ago at the Center. RTC students
and staff have access to other equipment available at specialized laboratories at SFSU (e.g. the GIS
Facility in the Geography Department, the Electron Microscope facility and the Conservation
Genetics Laboratory in the Biology Department).
Research Vessel: RTC owns and operates a 38' aluminum-hulled shallow draft research vessel.
Acquired in 1991, the R/V Questuary was converted for oceanographic use by addition of an Aframe, provision of adequate a/c power and a hydraulic system. In addition it was re-engined with
twin Cummins 250 horse power turbo diesel engines, and now cruises at 15 knots, with a maximum
Page 45
speed of 20 knots. This additional power and speed was needed to cope with the strong tidal
currents in the Bay and nearby coastal waters, and to deploy and retrieve heavier sampling gear. The
vessel has been used heavily by SFSU scientists for both research and education and by local
institutions including federal and commercial environmental consulting groups and academic units
(e.g., NOAA, USGS, Army Corps of Engineers, California Maritime Academy, Bechtel Corp.). Use
of the vessel has ranged from deployment and retrieval of moorings, bottom sampling (grabs and
cores), towing basic nets and water sampling for chlorophyll and nutrient analysis and
microbiological research, and zooplankton and nekton sampling. Our sampling capabilities aboard
the R/V Questuary have increased tremendously as a result of an upgrade supported by the NSF
FSML program, including: a hydrographic winch with conducting cable, instrumented rosette
sampling system, depth sounder/bioacoustic sampler, acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP),
differential global positioning system (GPS), and a data acquisition computer system. In addition,
RTC has a number of smaller vessels available for staff and student use as well, such as the new
Twin Vee Powercat , a 20 foot outboard catamaran
(http://www.rtc.sfsu.edu/marine_ops/marineops.htm).
Other: The Romberg Tiburon Center has a machine shop equipped with a 12” gearhead lathe, a table
saw, a band-saw, drill presses, and other standard machining equipment. Other equipment in the
shop includes woodworking equipment (such as a planer, a shaper, a jointer and a radial arm saw
and welding equipment. The School of Science Service Center on the main campus has an
electronics shop; a machine shop (milling machines, lathes, drill presses, and sheet metal forming
equipment) and a graphics service shop.

Grant and Contract Activity and Revenues
Scientists at RTC have been tremendously successful in generating contract and grant revenues in
support of their research. These funds are held at SFSU’s Office of Research and Sponsored
Projects, and funds are expended directly by the PIs for the research programs and are not used for
RTC operations.
Highlights of RTC most prestigious grants over the last ten years
Since 1995, scientists at the Romberg Tiburon Center have attracted several prominent research
awards. While many of RTC’s research programs are focused on the San Francisco Bay and Central
California Coastal Ocean, projects span to regions such as Georges’ Bank in the North Atlantic
Ocean and the Pacific Northwest coast of the United States.
U.S. GLOBEC (GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics) is a research program organized by
oceanographers and fisheries scientists to address the question of how global climate change may
affect the abundance and production of animals in the sea. Dr. Stephen Bollens was a co-PI on this
long-term project focused on the zooplankton dynamics on Georges Bank, which totaled over
$600,000 in awards to RTC.
Dr. William Cochlan’s work on harmful algal blooms has brought in a 5-year, $928,000 award from
the National Science Foundation, NOAA, and the EPA to study the ecology of a toxic diatom in the
Pacific Northwest.
Over the years, RTC’s research programs became more inter-disciplinary and are led by multiple
investigators, and this trend has continued. One of the first efforts in that direction was the EPASTAR funded program “Integrative Indicators of Ecosystem Condition and Stress Across Multiple
Trophic Levels in the San Francisco Estuary”, led by Dr. Richard Dugdale and co-PIs Dr. Alissa Arp
and Dr. Stephen Bollens and funded in 1999 for $881,307.
One of the most successful multi-investigator research programs has been Co-OP WEST (Coastal
Ocean Processes- Wind Events and Shelf Transport), a 5-year, NSF-funded study of the role of
wind-driven transport in shelf productivity. A team of 11 principle investigators from 5 academic
institutions aimed to better understand the competing influences of wind on productivity. Towards
this end, they studied the 3-dimensional circulation, wind field, size-structured plankton
distributions, productivity processes and transport over the shelf off Bodega Bay in northern
California. RTC faculty included Dr. Stephen Bollens, Dr. Richard Dugdale, Dr. Frances Wilkerson,
and Dr. Newell Garfield. This program was funded for 5 years, for a total of $2.2 million.
The Integrated Wetlands Regional Monitoring Program, funded by the California Bay Delta
Authority, seeks to examine wetland restoration in the North Bay and Delta. Several RTC PIs are
involved in this effort; Richard Dugdale and Frances Wilkerson (nutrients), Edward Carpenter
(primary productivity), and Stephen Bollens (fish and invertebrates). Over $1.3 million was awarded
to this research program in 2002.
Page 48
In the 2005 round of CALFED funding, Dr. Wim Kimmerer, with several RTC co-PIs has been
awarded $1.17 million for a project entitled: “Foodweb Support for the Threatened Delta Smelt and
Other Estuarine Fishes in Suisun Bay and the western SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta”.
Increasingly, RTC’s research focus has intensified in California, with newly developed ocean
monitoring programs that link RTC to other research institutions across the state. Two of the RTC
programs focused on ocean monitoring are CI-CORE (Center for Integrative Coastal Observation,
Research and Education- a consortium of eight CSU campuses, Dr. Alissa Arp is lead PI on the RTC
portion) for which over $700, 000 have been awarded to RTC since 2001; and COCMP (Coastal
Ocean Currents Monitoring Program), led by Dr. Newell Garfield, an $8.9- million award to RTC to
implement a network of instruments that will allow real-time monitoring of surface currents, surf
conditions and coastal circulation modeling.
RTC’s junior faculty members continue to enhance RTC’s expanding research program. Dr.
Jonathon Stillman was awarded $496,000 from the National Science Foundation for his research
“Correlating Cardiac Thermal Performance Limits with Transcriptome Profiles During Thermal
Acclimation of the Intertidal Porcelain Crab, Petrolisthes cinctipes”. Dr. Katharyn Boyer has been
awarded two grants funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration totaling over
$300,000 for her work in eelgrass restoration in San Francisco Bay.

c. Non-grant Revenues
Nature, Source and Amount of Operating Funds
RTC receives operating funding from several sources. SFSU provides some salary support through
the College of Science and Engineering budget for a portion of our faculty, lecturers and
administrative staff. The Bay Conference Center/Tiburon Properties account pays its staff salaries
and non-personnel supplies and expense. An RTC operating budget based upon activities that bring
in indirect cost return (RIC) revenues to SFSU covers much of the day-to-day operations at the
Center. The RTC operating budget reimburses several accounts held at the SFSU Foundation
include the RTC operating account (staff salaries, supplies, and renovations), and the account
governing the RTC research vessel, the R/V Questuary. Private donations received by RTC are also
held at the SFSU Foundation and these funds were used to create endowments, support student
travel, enable facilities improvements, and fund renovation projects.
