Moore's research focuses
chiefly on a process
known as tidal pumping. Groundwater typically
seeps into tiny
pores in layers of rock.
At high tide, salt water also seeps into the rock layers, mixing with the fresh
groundwater, and at low tide, the salt/freshwater mixture gets pulled into the
ocean. Then more fresh groundwater is allowed to seep into the rock, and the tidal
pumping cycle begins again.
