A copy of the institution's definition of sustainability research:
For the purpose of participating in the AASHE STARS campus rating system, the University of California, Irvine identifies "sustainability research" as any research or creative activity that addresses the equitable endurance of natural and human systems in the present and in the future. These studies can address scientific, technological, legal, economic, ethical, governance, social and other issues that impact the conservation of finite resources for future generations and support long-term environmental and human health.

A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
The inventory was created in consultation with knowledgeable faculty, the Office of Academic Affairs, and a review of UCI-hosted websites.
Several steps were taken to identify faculty engaged in sustainability research:
-- An email was sent to all faculty on April 12 asking them to self-identify; some faculty responded not only on their own behalf but also identified other faculty members who should be included on the list.
-- A follow-up communication was sent to deans and department chairs, asking them to encourage faculty to respond.
-- Various websites were consulted to learn the names of faculty affiliated with centers doing research in this area.
-- Titles and department affiliations were validated with the Office of Academic Personnel, and URLs for faculty profiles were obtained using the campus’s online directory.
-- This document was distributed to all listed faculty for final review in 2012 and again in 2013.
