The director of the Center for Environmental Studies used recent reports to the Center for Environmental Studies external Advisory Board and direct consultation with colleagues to confirm current, ongoing research projects. We do not include any staff in the tally of people involved in research, though a few staff members do occasionally assist with various aspects of research projects.
