The categories assume the external ratings are correct.
I don't have a PhD in "Earth Atmospheric & Marine Sciences", but I do have training and experience in atmospheric physics in particular and climate science more broadly. I would not rate the level of brilliance in that area very high, but I'm not surprised most external people do.
To be clear, atmospheric physics alone I would rate highly, but the rest of the "earth sciences" I would not.
