Nicolas Weidberg

Nicolas Weidberg is a Research Fellow in the Department of Biological Sciences at the College of Arts and Sciences, University of South Carolina, where he operates within the Wethey Lab conducting advanced marine ecological research.

His research expertise spans marine ecology and coastal ecosystem dynamics, with emphasis on invertebrate larval distribution patterns (mussels, barnacles, crabs) in nearshore environments and their applications for sustainable coastal resource management. He actively investigates large-scale pelagic zooplankton aggregations and their long-term temporal trends, while pioneering the calibration of NASA's ECOSTRESS thermal sensor aboard the International Space Station to characterize high-resolution thermal stress in coastal ecosystems across extensive geographical areas.
