Education and career edit
Wiberg has a B.A. in mathematics from Brown University (1976), and an M.S. (1983) and a Ph.D. (1987) from the University of Washington.[1][2] Wiberg is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union, and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science who cited her "for distinguished contributions to understanding the causes and consequences of sediment movements in aquatic systems."[3][4]
Research edit
Wiberg studies coastal environments with a focus on how disturbances such as storms, sea-level rise, and temperature change coastal areas[4][5] Through her integration of data and models, she examines changes in salt marshes in the context of environmental changes.[6] While in graduate school, Wiberg and colleagues found evidence in the Brazos River beds in Texas for a tsunami that was at least 1000 feet high which would have occurred at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary.[7][8] She has also examined the impact of the shape of sediments on eddy correlation flux measurements.[9] Since 2006, Wiberg has been a co-principal investigator at the National Science Foundation-funded Virginia Coast Reserve Long-Term Ecological Research[10][11] where she has been working on water and sediment dynamics.[12][13]
