A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
A student worker read every faculty/research staff profile on every college and department's personnel website to determine their research interests. For faculty who engaged in sustainability research (as determined through synergy with the SDGs), she copied their interests and chose a relevant publication (from either their linked CV or through a Google scholar search). The sustainability director consulted for any questions about relevance.
