معرفی
Jonathan W. Moore is a Professor of Aquatic Ecology & Conservation and Liber Ero Chair of Coastal Science and Management at Simon Fraser University's Department of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on the conservation and ecology of aquatic systems, particularly Pacific salmon ecosystems, and integrates field experiments, modeling, and stable isotope techniques to address human impacts on freshwater and coastal environments. He leads the Salmon Watersheds Lab, collaborating with over 40 organizations on projects across British Columbia.
- Education: B.A. from Carleton College, Ph.D. from University of Washington, Seattle, and postdoctoral fellowship at National Marine Fisheries Service.
- Research Interests: Glacier retreat and salmon habitats, climate change impacts on salmon populations, estuary resilience to sea-level rise, Indigenous data sovereignty, and terminal fisheries management.
Moore’s work emphasizes conservation implications, such as mitigating mining claims on future salmon habitats, restoring estuaries, and advancing adaptive management strategies. His lab has published in high-impact journals like Science and collaborates with First Nations on land-use planning and stewardship. Notable grants include funding for the Watershed Futures Initiative. He advises numerous graduate students and has contributed to policy discussions on salmon futures through media and podcasts.
