Associate Professor
Research Interests
- The movements and effects of pollutants in freshwater ecosystems, particularly on the ecological and management implications of sediment/water interactions
- The ecology,
analysis, remote sensing, and management
of aquatic macrophytes because of their structural and functional roles in eutrophic lake ecosystems - Evaluation of hypolimnetic oxygenation and aluminum sulfate injection for reducing internal nutrient cycling in eutrophic
lakes - The relationship between sediment heavy metal contamination and morphological deformities in larval chironomids (midges).
Teaching /Professional Interests
Dr. Moore is a limnologist with interests in the movements and effects of pollutants in freshwater ecosystems, particularly on the ecological and management implications of sediment/water interactions. Much of this research has focused on the ecology, analysis, remote sensing, and management of aquatic macrophytes because of their structural and functional roles in eutrophic lake ecosystems. Dr. Moore has directed major restoration studies in Washington lakes and worked with numerous citizen groups on watershed and lake issues, in particular, Newman Lake which is located north of Spokane Washington. His current work include an evaluation of hypolimnetic oxygenation and aluminum sulfate injection for reducing internal nutrient cycling in eutrophic lakes and investigations of the relationship between sediment heavy metal contamination and morphological deformities in larval chironomids (midges).
