Dr. Moore is the PI of the Inclusive Conservation Lab and conducts research at the intersection of ecology and conservation while incorporating the values and uses of complex socio-ecological systems. They graduated with a BSc and MSc in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Michigan, completed their PhD at the Yale School of the Environment, and then commenced two postdoctoral fellowships; one at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and the other at Princeton University. See the Research page for more details!

Carl is a postdoctoral researcher with a strong interest in blue carbon habitats and thermal ecology. He holds a BSc in Chemistry and a PhD in Ecology from The University of Hong Kong, where he investigated the thermal plasticity of intertidal ectotherms in mangrove ecosystems. He then joined City University of Hong Kong as a postdoctoral researcher to explore novel eco-engineering methods for restoring degraded coastlines. Aiming to assess the resilience of blue carbon habitats under climate change, he aims to use multi-disciplinary approaches such as comparative ecophysiology and ecology to inform conservation/restoration strategies.

Frederick is an incoming PhD student in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences. He received his bachelor’s degree in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences from the University of Cape Coast (Ghana) and his MSc in Biology from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. After completing his MSc, Frederick served as a researcher in the Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre at the University of Lisbon, Portugal and a volunteer researcher with the Plant and Ecosystem Research Group at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. Frederick is interested in forestry systems that impact human and environmental justice.

Ethan is a MSc student in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences. He received his bachelor’s degree in Marine Biology from the University of Oregon 2022, then served as a research assistant with the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology. He is interested in coastal trophic ecology with an emphasis on predator-prey interactions and is continuing to work on similar themes in the ICL. Other interests include conservation and natural resource management that explicitly incorporates Indigenous and traditional ecological knowledge.

MJ is an incoming MSc student in the Department of Botany. She received her BSc in Biology from UBC in 2023 before working on projects in microbial ecology as an NSERC USRA summer research assistant in the Parfrey Lab. MJ is interested in coastal ecosystems & community structure related to anthropogenic impacts and hopes to study the roles that microbes play in restoration ecology. Other topics of interest include equity, diversity, & inclusion in conservation spaces, science communication & education, and integration of place-based learning from Indigenous and traditional ecological knowledge.

Joshua is an incoming MSc student with the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences. He received his BSc in Environmental Sciences from UBC in 2024. Since graduation, Josh has continued to further develop his undergraduate thesis project, which covers topics of competitive coexistence, character displacement, and coevolution. In addition, he has been actively modelling the geographical patterns of biodiversity change. Josh is particularly interested in exploring the ecological consequences of climate change and other anthropogenic pressures on Earth’s biodiversity using an interdisciplinary approach and hopes to inform conservation efforts concerning species at risk of extinction.
