Report summary

University of California, Berkeley Department of Environmental Science Policy and Management in 2015-2026 reads as a 120-PI network with 205 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Environmental Science as the leading field (36% of slots across 84 PIs; 84 labels), Global and Planetary Change as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 42 PIs; 42 labels), and Species Distribution and Climate Change as the leading topic (4% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 22 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Jillian F. Banfield (61.3 weighted works; Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies, Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology). The strongest pairings are Scott L. Stephens and Brandon M. Collins (59 shared works, weight 27.9). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 22, around Global and Planetary Change, Ecology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, led by Rosemary G. Gillespie, Henrik Krehenwinkel, John Harte.
