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

In order to complete this research inventory we took the classes that were sustainability focused or related and contacted the head of the departments to verify that these professors conducted sustainability research. We also asked the department chairs if there were any other faculty in their department that conducted sustainability research.
