About “Caitlin Moore”

I am interested in research that brings together measurement and modelling techniques to observe and predict ecosystem processes over time and space. I established my foundations in this field during my PhD in the School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment at Monash University, where I quantified tropical savanna productivity and phenology using the eddy covariance technique and phenocams. I expanded my skills through my Postdoctoral Researcher appointment at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the USA. I worked within the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) on quantifying the sustainability of bioenergy crops grown in the United States, and on the Water Efficient Sorghum Technologies (WEST) project to build knowledge about agricultural systems and how to measure them in a high-throughput way. I also collaborated on projects aimed at improving food security in the coming century, such as the Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) project. As a Lecturer at the University of Western Australia I am combining my interests in native ecosystem and agro-ecosystem processes by working towards improving our understanding of how these systems in Australia respond to climate variability over time and space.
