Dr. Wizevich specializes in sedimentary geology with a focus on non-marine strata. His research involves reconstructing ancient depositional environments and paleogeography, identifying climatic and tectonic influences on sedimentation, and modeling fluid flow through sediments. Recent work has centered on sedimentary-tectonic relationships in the Cretaceous strata of Utah, contributing to broader understanding of basin evolution and paleoclimate dynamics.

He teaches a range of undergraduate and graduate-level courses including physical geology, field methods, sedimentology and stratigraphy, geomorphology, glacial geology, and energy science, emphasizing hands-on and field-based learning approaches.
