Report summary

Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences in 2018-2020 reads as a 42-PI network with 29 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Environmental Science as the leading field (43% of slots across 34 PIs; 34 labels), Global and Planetary Change as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), and Meteorological Phenomena and Simulations as the leading topic (11% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Christopher J. Gobler (19 weighted works; Marine and coastal ecosystems, Aquatic Ecosystems and Phytoplankton Dynamics). The strongest pairings are Bassem Allam and Emmanuelle Pales Espinosa (11 shared works, weight 5.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 11.9, around Atmospheric Science, Global and Planetary Change, Oceanography, led by Hyemi Kim, Cheng Zheng, Minghua Zhang.
