A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:

We consulted the faculty handbook to start - all faculty members are required to engage in research or scholarship in their field to be eligible for promotion.

Faculty members engaged in sustainability research were identified first by a review of individual faculty pages and then with a follow-up literature search from those faculty tagged as 'likely'. Of the 13 identified as likely 10 had reasonable supporting documentation.
