His research focuses on ecohydrology, particularly the resilience of peatland ecosystems to natural and anthropogenic disturbances. He investigates how climate change, wildfires, and droughts affect ecosystem services and hydrological processes. His work spans hydrological modeling, carbon cycling, and environmental disturbance in temperate and boreal landscapes.

Recent publications analyze fuel moisture dynamics, peatland restoration strategies, fire-climate linkages, and hydrological responses to extreme events. Keywords include Wildfire Science, Peatland Hydrology, Climate-Water Interactions, and Ecosystem Resilience.
