His research uses tree-ring data to reconstruct climate variability, hydrological hazards, and tropical cyclone activity, particularly in the Gulf Coast region. Recent work includes oxygen isotope analysis in baldcypress rings and expanding the Longleaf Tree-Ring Network for climate insights.
His publications (2021–2025) explore topics like tropical cyclone response in coastal trees, stable isotopes as climate proxies, and educational outreach. He is affiliated with the American Geophysical Union, American Association of Geographers, and Gamma Theta Upsilon, but no scientific awards are mentioned.
