A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
The Office of Energy & Sustainability at CWRU has partnered with the Ohio Innovation Exchange (https://www.ohioinnovationexchange.org/ ) to compile a comprehensive research inventory. According to the Ohio Innovation Exchange platform, a total of 4,249 faculty members are actively engaged in research at CWRU. The identification of faculty members involved in sustainability-related research is based on specific research tags. Noteworthy sustainability-related tags employed for searching purposes include: Agricultural Biotechnology Agriculture, Land, and Farm Management Anthropology Atmospheric Sciences Biological Adaptation Business and Management Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Climate Change Processes Crop and Pasture Production Ecological Applications Ecological Impacts of Climate Change Ecology Economic Development and Growth Energy Generation, Conversion, and Storage Engineering Environmental Biotechnology Environmental Chemistry (incl. Atmospheric Chemistry) Environmental Engineering Environmental Science and Management Environmental Sciences Epidemiology Fisheries Sciences Food Sciences Forestry Sciences Geochemistry Geology Health and Community Services Nutrition and Dietetics Oceanography Other Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences Other Chemical Sciences Other Earth Sciences Other Environmental Sciences Other Medical and Health Sciences Physical Geography and Environmental Geoscience Public Health and Health Services Renewable Power and Energy Systems Engineering (excl.
