About the Agenda Committee Members

FACULTY SENATE CHAIR
Gregg Moore is an Associate Professor of Coastal Restoration and Resilience in the Department of Biological Sciences. His primary research interests are focused upon coastal wetland restoration ecology, conservation, and land management within both temperate and tropical habitats. With funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and others, his  research has had a particular emphasis on the anthropogenic impacts to wetlands and aquatic habitats. His research examines the interplay between plant community patterns and sediment biogeochemistry seeking to gain an increased understanding of the causes of habitat loss, plant species invasions, and co-developing innovative strategies for restoring resilient coastal habitats directly with affected communities though engaged scholarship. He was the recipient of UNH’s 2026 Excellence in International Engagement, EPA’s Environmental Merit Award in the  Environmental, Community, Academia & Nonprofit category, and the Sustainability Award “Gold” through UNH’s Sustainability Institute. Moore takes pride in his service to the UNH community. He presently serves as the Program Coordinator for the Marine, Estuarine, and Freshwater Biology Major, the Marine Biology Minor, and the Marine Policy Minor, as well as the Academic Affairs Committee for the Department of Biological Sciences. For nearly 10 years, he served as the Academic Coordinator for the Shoals Marine Laboratory. Moore joined the Faculty Senate in 2020 and presently serves as the Vice Chair of the Agenda Committee, and in past years, served as the Chair of the Research and Public Service Committee (RPSC). He looks forward to continuing his 4th consecutive term in service of the Faculty Senate this coming fall in the capacity of Senate Chair.

She received her Ph.D. in Climatology from the University of Delaware and joined the University of New Hampshire faculty in 2008. Dr. Stampone’s NOAA-funded research in applied climate science focuses on monitoring and modeling variability and change in regional-scale climate system processes with an emphasis on hydroclimatic hazards (i.e., 
drought, flooding, severe weather). She co-authored the “Northeast” chapter of the 4th National Climate Assessment, led the recent “New Hampshire Climate Assessment” and is a member of the NH Coastal Flood Risk Science and Technical Advisory Panel and Drought Management Team. She received the Class of 1941 Professorship in 2017, the Faculty Sustainability Award for established research in 2023, and was awarded the inaugural Civil Discourse Lab CIRCLE Engaged Research Fellowship in 2024.
