A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
Faculty who have been involved in sustainability research in the past were given a survey to identify whether their current research is sustainability-related or focused. Also, faculty identified on SCU websites for their sustainability research were included in the inventory.

Sustainability-related research was defined as research which addresses at least one of the areas of sustainability - with the main three being environment, economy/economic development and community/social equity.
Both types of research (related and focused) were included in this inventory.
