Report summary

University of California, Berkeley Department of Environmental Science Policy and Management in 2021-2023 reads as a 75-PI network with 64 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Environmental Science as the leading field (33% of slots across 47 PIs; 47 labels), Global and Planetary Change as the leading subfield (11% of slots across 21 PIs; 21 labels), and Species Distribution and Climate Change as the leading topic (4% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 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 Jillian F. Banfield (18.8 weighted works; Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies, Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology). The strongest pairings are Carl Boettiger and Melissa Chapman (7 shared works, weight 4.8). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 7.7, around Ecology, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Insect Science, led by Arthur D. Middleton, Timothy M. Bowles, Alastair Iles.
