Faculty and Staff

CLEANR is led by a distinguished advisory board and staff, with strong relationships across the University. Our university partners include other active centers and institutes at the UC Irvine School of Law, the Department of Urban Planning and Public Policy, the Newkirk Center for Science and Society, the Institute for Transportation Studies, the Center for Ecosystem Climate Solutions, the Climate Energy and Water Solutions group, EcoGovLab, WaterUCI, the Environmental Law Clinic, and the university-wide Sustainability Initiative. Importantly, we build close ties with leaders in the fields of environmental law, environmental data and community science, environmental engineering, ecology, and transportation and land use planners and officials to achieve policy-relevant, previously underfunded and underutilized science. We establish close ties with community partners that span years, increase community capacity and ownership, and achieve policy-relevant results. Our community partners include the Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment, Central California Environmental Justice Network, Azul, Central Valley Air Quality Coalition, Californians for Pesticide Reform, Environmental Working Group, Sierra Club, and Earthjustice.
