His research spans carbon cycling in coastal and inland waters, greenhouse gas emissions, stable isotope analysis, and climate change mitigation. He leads projects on carbon sequestration in mangroves/saltmarshes, river-geomorphology interactions, and tropical wetland biogeochemistry.

Recent collaborative projects include:

• Carbon stocks in newly created salt marshes and mangroves (2024-2028)
• WETCOAST: Coastal climate adaptation (2024-2027)
• Blue Alkalinity (2024-2027)
• Carbon dynamics in Lake Victoria papyrus wetlands (2023-2027)

He teaches courses in:

• Ecology and Biogeochemistry of Aquatic Systems
• Soil and Water Systems
• Global Biogeochemical Cycles
