Specialty/Current Research Interests:
Dr. Moore’s scholarly interests involve outdoor recreation and recreation resources management. His research focuses on the areas of outdoor recreation behavior, trails and greenways, river recreation, partnerships and outdoor volunteerism. Most recently his research has involved recreation commitment, specialization, conflict, place attachment, and attitudes.
Current Assignment:
Dr. Moore is on a one-year sabbatical leave through June 2009 with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) coordinating the Appalachian Trail Environmental MEGA-Transect program. This one-of-a-kind effort is establishing the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) and the public lands around it as a major environmental monitoring corridor and indicator of the environmental health of the Eastern U.S. The Appalachian Trail Park Office, ATC, National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring Program, and other partners will use the A.T. Environmental MEGA-Transect program to monitor, understand and respond to changes in the environment. See the below link for more information.
