Fields of Study
Oceanography
Professor Moore's interests lie in the study of paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic change. His research involves the stratigraphy of ocean and lake sediments and makes use of seismic stratigraphy, lithostratigraphy, and biostratigraphy (Radiolaria) to explore the history of the earth. Ongoing studies focus on the very detailed records of climate change through the Pleistocene and Holocene and extend into the Cenozoic.
