He is associated with Topic 6: Marine and Polar Life within GEOMAR's "Changing Earth - Sustaining our Future" research program.

His research focuses on:

• Marine ecological monitoring systems
• Seagrass ecosystem restoration and conservation
• Neobiota tracking through extended Rapid Assessment Surveys (eRAS)
• Implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD)
• Shallow water abiotic-biotic interactions

Dr. Lieberum conducts extensive field work at Heligoland, documented in "Environmental Monitoring Heligoland", and leads interdisciplinary diving missions that integrate citizen science approaches. His work bridges experimental ecology with practical marine conservation efforts, contributing to GEOMAR's mission of understanding marine ecosystem responses to environmental change.
