Her research interests focus on Arctic environmental dynamics, specifically:

• Paleoclimatology of the Holocene epoch
• Polar geomorphology (thermokarst processes)
• Lake sediment analysis in tundra ecosystems
• Paleontological indicators like green algae (Pediastrum orientale)
• Oligotrophic lake nutrient cycling
• Svalbard glacial and permafrost systems
• Climate reconstruction in polar regions

Based on publication keywords, her work integrates geological, biological, and hydrological methods to study environmental change in Arctic lake systems, emphasizing Holocene-era thermokarst lake evolution in Svalbard. She has 2 documented publications contributing to a ministerial score of 210. Her primary institutional hub is the Ecotech-Complex Center, which coordinates interdisciplinary environmental research under UMCS.
