In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Natural resource economics, Climate change, Food processing, Agriculture and Water resources.
His Natural resource economics study incorporates themes from Water use, Production and Urbanization.
His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Agricultural productivity, Upstream and Water resource management.
The concepts of his Water resource management study are interwoven with issues in Floodplain, Streamflow and Hydropower.
Many of his research projects under Agriculture are closely connected to Scale with Scale, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His research in the fields of Virtual water and Water scarcity overlaps with other disciplines such as Global policy and Human food.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Feeding ten billion people is possible within four terrestrial planetary boundaries (52 citations)
- The Mekong's future flows under multiple drivers: How climate change, hydropower developments and irrigation expansions drive hydrological changes (32 citations)
- Savings and losses of global water resources in food-related virtual water trade (29 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Agriculture
- Ecology
- Climate change
His scientific interests lie mostly in Water resources, Earth system science, Food processing, Food systems and Natural resource economics.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Climate change, Surface runoff and Water resource management in addition to Water resources.
He interconnects Population growth, International waters, Upstream and Hydropower in the investigation of issues within Climate change.
His research on Earth system science also deals with topics like
- Water cycle together with Environmental resource management,
- Biosphere which is related to area like Agriculture and Per capita.
His Natural resource economics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Virtual water, Water scarcity, Footprint, Scarcity and Food security.
His research integrates issues of Water use and Urbanization in his study of Food security.
