Dr. Robert E. Moeller was a long-time friend and supporter of Lacawac Sanctuary who passed away in 2011. Robert was a limnologist who spent many years conducting research on Lake Lacawac and other nearby Pocono lakes. Robert’s interests in limnology were broad and encompassed diverse topics including paleolimnology, aquatic botany, and the ecology of ultraviolet radiation. Throughout his career, Robert was generous in giving his time to help students and colleagues with their research. Robert’s generosity extended to his establishment of an endowed fund, that with enhanced support from his family and friends, now supports promising researchers in ecology and environmental science.
