She co-directs the Center for Robust Decision-making on Climate and Energy Policy, an NSF-funded interdisciplinary center focused on open-source tools to support decisionmaking. Moyer's research spans atmospheric science, climate statistics, and energy and climate policy analysis. Her climate research focuses on the statistics of evolving climate states; her atmospheric science research focuses on the processes that control the distribution of water vapor and formation of cirrus clouds in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. She holds both an A.B. in Anthropology (Archaeology) and a B.S. in Physics with honors from Stanford University, and a Ph.D. in Planetary Science from the California Insitute of Technology.
