The project was abruptly terminated by A&M in February about halfway through its planned five-year timeline, however.
Regardless, intellectual property investigations at universities remain a priority, FBI officials said. UT-Dallas President Richard C. Benson also responded to Rubio's specific questions about partnerships with Southeast University in Nanjing, China. That’s one area where U.S. climate scientists saw an opportunity with their counterparts in China. Of the mere hundreds of supercomputers around the world that are powerful enough to run complex climate models, only a fraction of them are available in the U.S. for such research, scientists say—and even then, the projects have to compete for time on the machines.
The laboratory has documented ties to Ocean University - the institution that Rubio asked about in his letter to the A&M System Chancellor. Lixin Wu, the director of Qingdao Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, is also the vice president of Ocean University. And Kehou Pan, a biology professor at Ocean University, sits on the lab’s steering committee, according to a project overview document obtained by Inside Climate News and the Houston Chronicle.
“You don't respond to congressional tweets,” Schmidt said. “If NASA had responded to every tweet accusing us of fraud and criminal conspiracy, then we'd never get anywhere.”The Texas A&M University System - which oversees 11 campuses, eight state agencies, a health science center and a research campus in Bryan - has monitored its foreign collaborations for years.
