Gregg Moore

Gregg Moore is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). He leads the Coastal Restoration and Resiliency Lab, focusing on coastal wetland restoration ecology, conservation, and land management in temperate and tropical habitats. His research examines anthropogenic impacts on wetlands, invasive species management, and the interplay between plant community patterns and sediment biogeochemistry.

• Ph.D., Biology, Boston University
• M.S., Ecology, Boston University
• B.S., Environmental Studies and Biology, Tufts University

Dr. Moore's work includes long-term studies on habitat loss, salt marsh dynamics, and mangrove conservation in regions like the Great Bay Estuary, Great Marsh, and the Eastern Caribbean. His lab develops strategies to restore native plant communities and promote rare species resilience.

Key research trends include climate change impacts on coastal ecosystems, sediment biogeochemistry, and community-based restoration approaches. His 2019 publication on sea-level rise in Estuaries and Coasts highlights his focus on predictive modeling of coastal wetland responses.
