Caitlin Moore

Caitlin Moore is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois. She is interested in how plants function and interact with their environments from the leaf to ecosystem to global scale. For the WEST project, she will characterize the canopy surface properties of different sorghum genotypes to determine which water efficient genotype is best for agricultural/commercial use. Caitlin earned her bachelor's degree in geography and environment science, minoring in biological sciences and human physiology from Monash University in Australia. She went on to get her doctorate in micrometeorology and ecophysiology, also from Monash University. Her work has been published in Biogeosciences and Global Change Biology.
