Kelly M. Kibler, Ph.D.

Associate Professor
University of Central Florida

Dr. Kelly Kibler is an Associate Professor of Water Resources Engineering in UCF’s Department of Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering, affiliate faculty of UCF’s National Center for Integrated Coastal Research and a Fellow of UCF’s Center for Global Economic and Environmental Opportunity. Dr. Kibler heads the Kibler Ecohydraulics Laboratory (http://ecohydraulics.weebly.com), leading research focused at coupled biological and physical processes in river and estuarine systems. She is particularly interested in flow-biota interaction and its influence to hydrodynamics and sediment transport across multiple scales. Dr. Kibler’s group studies both natural hydrologic phenomena as well as waterways that are modified for human benefit; for instance by, dams, dredging, levies and hardened structures. Applications for Dr. Kibler’s research include design of green infrastructure and natural or nature-based features, including mangrove forests or oyster reefs to address flooding and bank erosion, or vegetated filter strips for remediation of excess nutrients in urban runoff.
