Carl Reiber

Carl Reiber serves as Professor and Provost at Georgia Southern University, holding dual roles in academic leadership and faculty within the Department of Biology under the College of Science and Mathematics. His institutional presence spans three campuses: Statesboro (main campus), Armstrong in Savannah (where his office SC 1305 is located), and Liberty in Hinesville.

Education:

• PhD, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

Research Interests:
Dr. Reiber's work centers on developmental physiology of cardio-respiratory systems in invertebrates, investigating how embryonic and larval exposure to environmental stressors shapes physiological regulatory machinery. His research examines compensatory adaptations across physiological, morphological, and behavioral domains to maintain metabolic blood supply under changing conditions, with focus on evolutionary responses to environmental challenges.

Administrative Role:
As Provost (chief academic officer), he oversees university-wide academic operations while maintaining active research engagement in comparative physiology.
