A cursory Google search reveals that Carin Stephens is/was SFOS's public information officer. FWIW, I also worked for SFOS once upon a time, albeit for less than a year over a quarter-century ago in a "casual" (read: temporary) job position. As a result of that experience, I see a major problem here. SFOS was formed out of the 1987 system-wide restructuring, as is mentioned. However, IMS long predates SFOS (perhaps by two decades or more) and is one of UAF's top research centers, yet is given only incidental mention here. Similarly, you cannot claim to credibly cover this topic without mentioning individuals who played a crucial role in developing UAF's oceanography programs, such as Vera Alexander and Kenneth M. Rae.
