The Tufts Institute of the Environment, in conjunction with the Office of Institutional Research and Evaluation, keeps records of faculty and staff who have been identified as engaging in environmentally-focused research. Faculty and staff in this list include professors, research faculty, adjunct faculty, and research institute fellows.

1. Sustainability researchers at Tufts were awarded over $17 million in research grants over the last three years. 2. At the Lima Climate Change Conference (December 1-12, 2014), Tufts University organized a side event on adaptation finance. 3. Tufts University held 9 sustainability related conferences in the last three years. 4. As part of a panel hosted by Tufts' Center for International Environment & Resource Policy (CIERP), Professor Elena Naumova (Civil and Environmental Engineering) discussed "From Burden Bearing to Opportunity Sharing: Reframing Environmental Negotiations," in conjunction with the United Nations' Rio+20 summit held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on June 18, 2012. 5. In March 2012, Biology Professor Colin Orians received a Tufts Collaborate Award to study how the quality of tea from different management systems responds to increases in climate variability. This is a collaborative project and brings together experts from across the University. 6. Professor Richard Vogel (Civil and Environmental Engineering) was featured in the "Life" section of The Atlantic online, in which he talks about urbanization as an important sustainability trend and the politicization of science. 7. Professor Kent Portney (Political Science) published his latest report, 2012 Greenest Cities in America, in the Canadian magazine Corporate Knights in summer 2012.
