Patrick Biber

Dr. Patrick Biber is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Mississippi's Gulf Coast Research Laboratory. His research focuses on coastal ecosystem dynamics, including seagrass ecology, salt marsh restoration, and wetland vulnerability to sea-level rise.

Research integrates: 1) Field measurements of vegetation-sediment interactions 2) Remote sensing of coastal habitats 3) Restoration technique evaluation 4) Climate change impacts on wetlands. His work supports coastal management through data on vegetative community development, carbon sequestration, and sediment biogeochemistry.
