INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMITTEE ON OCEANOGRAPHY 
Work in oceanography at the University of Michigan is not 
concentrated in a single department; student progress is super- 
vised by the Interdepartmental Committee on Oceanography, which 
has cognizance over work toward advanced degrees and determines 
requirements for each student on an individual basis. The 
members of the Committee are: 
John C. Ayers, Ph.D., Research Oceanographer, Chairman 
D. C. Chandler, Ph.D., Professor of Zoology 
E. W. Hewson, Ph.D., Professor of Meteorology 
J. T. Wilson, Ph.D., Professor of Geology 
F. C. Michelson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Naval 
Architecture 
Research and training in aquatic sciences is given by the 
Departments of Botany, Civil Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, 
Environmental Health, Fisheries, Geology, and Zoology, divisions 
of Ichthyology and Malacology of the University Museum, and by 
the Great Lakes Research Division of the Institute of Science and 
Technology. Also on campus and participating in research and 
training are the Institute for Fisheries Research (Michigan Depart- 
ment of Conservation), the Great Lakes Commission (an Interstate 
agency), the U.S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, and the Great 
Lakes Fishery Commission (a U.S.-Canada agency). The Great Lakes 
Research Division has three research vessels of 114 feet, 50 feet, 
and 34 feet used for research and training.
