Report summary

The 2022-2026 picture for Texas A&m University Department of Atmospheric Sciences is a 11-PI network with 8 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Environmental Science as the leading field (50% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), Global and Planetary Change as the leading subfield (37% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels), and Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols as the leading topic (21% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). The specialization is notable and potentially attractive, with the caveat that adjacent fields may have fewer local peers. The leading PI names are Sarah D. Brooks (11.4 weighted works; Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, Atmospheric aerosols and clouds); Yue Zhang (11.1 weighted works; Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, Atmospheric aerosols and clouds). The clearest collaboration lines are Xiaohong Liu and Zheng Lu (15 shared works, weight 3.8); Sarah D. Brooks and Christopher J. Nowotarski (8 shared works, weight 3.5). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 5 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 5.3, around Atmospheric Science, Global and Planetary Change, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, led by Sarah D. Brooks, Yue Zhang, Renyi Zhang.
