An intern reviewed faculty scholarship profiles provided by the Dean's Office to build the research inventory, cross-referencing with faculty surveys from the previous years' reporting. Only full-time faculty members are included in the inventory.

In 2015, Colorado College Geology Professor Christine Siddoway and her academic colleagues from Columbia University, Oregon State University, and Scripps Institute of Oceanography have been awarded $4.3 million from the National Science Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to support a research project in Antarctica that will contribute to environmental sustainability. Walt Hecox, professor of economics in the Environmental Program at Colorado College and Project Director of the Colorado College State of the Rockies Project, has been named the recipient of the 2013 Stuart P. Dodge Award for lifetime achievement in conservation by the Palmer Land Trust. Hecox has made a permanent impact on the study of ecological questions, inspired multitudes of students, and served to inform the Rocky Mountain Region about its “state of environmental health” through the State of Rockies Project, now in its 11th year. Assistant Professor Rebecca Barnes is one of six principal investigators on a $1.7 million grant titled “Collaborative Research: Improving the recruitment and persistence of women in the geosciences: Exploring deliberate mentoring approaches aimed at undergraduate students.”The initiative, led by Colorado State University, is a collaborative, multi-campus project that addresses two issues in STEM: underrepresentation of women in the earth sciences and shortcomings of existing studies addressing effective strategies for mentoring. Environmental Program Distinguished Lecturer Phillip Kannan published an article on "the tyranny of small decisions" in the Pace Environmental Law Review in 2015.
