Sue E. Moore is a scientist at the University of Washington known for her research on marine mammals in the Arctic.
Moore has a B.A. from the University of California, San Diego and an M.S. from San Diego State University. [1] She earned her Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego / Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1997 working on whales in the Arctic. [2] Moore worked at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for twenty years, [1] and was appointed director of the NOAA National Marine Mammal Laboratory in 2002. [3] Moore was a member of the United States' delegation to the International Whaling Commission. [3] As of 2021, Moore is a research scientist in the department of biology at the University of Washington. [4] On May 25, 2022, Moore was nominated by US President Joe Biden to be a member of the US Marine Mammal Commission. [5] The nomination was positively forwarded to the full Senate by the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee on December 7, 2022. [6] The nomination was confirmed by the full US Senate on December 22, 2022. [7]
Moore is known for her research tracking marine mammals in the Arctic, including bowhead whales, [8] fin whales, [9] and gray whales. [10] She has used acoustic instruments, or sound, to listen to multiple species of whales along the coast of Alaska, [11] [12] including a project attaching acoustic instruments to gliders and then tracking marine mammals. [13] She has linked changes in sea ice with the habitats used by bowhead whales [14] and defined patterns in marine mammal distributions that track climate change in the Arctic. [15] [16]
A list of additional publications and a biographical sketch are available on the website of the Center for Ecosystem Sentinels at the University of Washington, https://ecosystemsentinels.org/sue-moore/
In 2020, Moore was elected to the Washington State Academy of Sciences in recognition of her work in the Arctic. [4] In 2020, the International Arctic Science Committee awarded the IASC Medal for "exceptional and sustained contributions to the understanding of the Arctic" to Moore. [17]
