On the Mark: Joel Moore

Towson University President Mark Ginsberg speaks with Dr. Joel Moore, professor of geosciences and director of TU’s Environmental Science master's program, about the fascinating and urgent field of geochemistry. Their conversation explores how Dr. Moore’s research connects sustainability, water quality, and climate science—and how TU students gain hands-on experience tackling real-world environmental challenges. Together, they discuss the consequences of human activity on soil and water systems, the promise and limits of technology like AI in environmental research, and the essential role of interdisciplinary education in preparing the next generation to address climate and sustainability issues.
