Previously, she held positions as Lecturer in Geography and Planning at The University of Western Australia and Lecturer in Environmental GIS at the University of Southampton. Biggs has coordinated and taught units including GEOG2201 Geographical Information Systems, ENVT5508 Advanced Spatial Analytics, ENVT5511 Advanced GIS for Environmental Management, and others focused on environmental policy, planning, and sustainable development goals. Her career emphasizes integrating spatial analytics with environmental management and community engagement.

Biggs' research specializations encompass spatial and temporal analysis of environmental data, water resources and hydrological modelling, climate change impacts, environmental vulnerability and risk, the water-energy-food nexus, sustainable livelihoods, and coastal resilience through arts-based community engagement. Key publications include editorships of Rising Tides Binalup Community Artworks: Digital Exhibition Catalogue (2026, with Natasha Pauli et al.) and Rising Tides Cockburn Community Artworks: Digital Exhibition Catalogue (2026, with Natasha Pauli et al.), as well as co-authorships in Why bees are critical for achieving sustainable development (Ambio, 2021, cited over 369 times), Measurement of Social Networks for Innovation within the Australian Honey Bee Industry (Sustainability, 2019, cited 98 times), and Data representing climate-induced changes in the spatial distribution of bee forage species in Southwest Western Australia (Data in Brief, 2022). She has produced 23 articles, four abstracts, three commissioned books, and contributed to datasets and projects like the Cooperative Research Centre for Honey Bee Products (2017-2022).
