Joe Moran was completing a doctorate at UW-Madison when recruited to join the faculty at UW-Green Bay in 1969. His interdisciplinary interests in geology and climate change were a good match with the early UWGB curriculum. Joe had the opportunity to develop several courses including one on glacial geology and was part of several interdisciplinary teaching efforts including the development of the Introduction to Environmental Science course. His research has focused on climate change and variability. One of his projects evaluated the weather observations collected in the 1820s at the earliest Green Bay area weather station- Fort Howard.
