Mark Moore

Mark Moore is a Professor of Ocean Biogeochemistry at the School of Ocean and Earth Science, University of Southampton, based at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton. He specializes in marine nutrient and carbon cycling, with a focus on phytoplankton resource limitation and biogeochemical consequences. His research integrates fieldwork, experiments, and modeling.

• Affiliations: School of Ocean and Earth Science; National Oceanography Centre Southampton
• Teaching: Contributes to Marine Biology and Oceanography programs, coordinating modules SOES2006 and SOES6070.

Research interests include phytoplankton photosynthesis, oceanic nutrient dynamics, and carbon sequestration. Active projects include IDAPro (Atlantic productivity), CHALKY (coccolithophore alkalinity), and N-POP (ocean photosynthesis). Recent work emphasizes Southern Ocean iron transport, ENSO-driven iron limitation, and global phytoplankton co-limitation patterns.

Supervises current PhD students including Jack Rees Williams and Joseph Furby. His publications highlight diatom dynamics, twilight zone inefficiencies, and opal-silicate relationships. Collaborates on interdisciplinary projects like COMICS (mesopelagic carbon storage) and GEOTRACES (micronutrient cycles).
