Kevin B. Briggs received the B.S. degree in biology from Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, in 1975, the M.S. degree in zoology from the University of Georgia, Athens, in 1978, and the Ph.D. degree in marine geology and geophysics from the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Miami, FL, in 1994.

He began working at the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity, now part of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), at the Stennis Space Center, MS, in 1979, where he was involved in research on the effects of environmental processes on sediment geoacoustic properties. He has participated in many shallow-water high-frequency acoustics experiments as an investigator of geoacoustic and roughness properties of the seafloor. He is currently engaged in research on characterization of sediment interface roughness and volume inhomogeneity for high-frequency acoustic modeling. He has published over 20 articles on physical and acoustic properties of the sea floor.

Dr. Briggs is a member of the Acoustical Society of America and the American Geophysical Union.
