RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr. Moore leads the Geohazards research group at the University of Utah, which focuses on studies of the mechanics of physical processes driving natural hazards and shaping the evolution of bedrock landscapes. The group relies heavily on field observations and monitoring data to address problems relating to rock mechanics, slope stability, and alpine geomorphology, with special emphasis on structural health monitoring of rock arches, towers, and other freestanding rock landforms.
