Guided by a Team Approach
Our researchers represent some of the best of the fields exploring Earth’s energy and water systems and, working with the collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach around which Berkeley Lab was founded, align their work with many of the laboratory’s premier strategic directives.
Our Strategic Approach organizes our work around three core pillars and four cross-cutting themes. Developed by a multidisciplinary team with expertise spanning fields such as geothermal energy, critical minerals discovery, water security, and infrastructure resilience, the plan reflects our commitment to actionable science, collaborative partnerships, and real-world impact. Explore the plan to learn how we’re tackling some of today’s most pressing challenges.
