Research
Brad Moran has over 17 years of experience in ocean-climate research, including Arctic oceanography, carbon dynamics, coastal groundwater transport, and environmental radioactivity. He has over 70 peer-reviewed publications and participated in 46 research cruises.Teaching
Moran initiated the development of a new Masters of Business Administration-Masters of Oceanography (MBA-MO) dual degree, which has the goal of educating future leaders in the strategic management of global change opportunities; OCG 6XX The Business of Ocean and Climate Sciences (in development); OCG 640 Marine Particles; OCG 694F Radionuclides in the Ocean; OCG 451 Oceanographic Science.Outreach
Moran is regularly invited to science panels (NSF, NOAA) and workshops (AOS94, OASIS, SBI, FATE, GEOTRACES, BEST, BSIERP), has sponsored high-school teachers at sea, and advised local and national environmental organizations. Most recently, he was charged with evaluating GHG emissions and energy costs at URI for the PresidentÂ’s Council on Sustainability.Students
