My research areas cover basin-scale groundwater flow systems, their hydraulic basics (flow driving forces, flow pathways) and the related natural phenomena, abnormal pore pressure regimes and their interactions, the role of groundwater flow systems in the Earth's critical zone, and the effects of climate change on all of them.  

My research areas in petroleum geology cover indeed interdisciplinary studies of petroleum geology, hydrogeology and geothermics. Application of hydrogeological methods in petrolum exploration is based on that groundwater flow systems highly affect on oil and gas migration and entrapment. It is particularly true for biogenic gases of growing importance which represents one of my new study areas beside the adaptation of petroleum hydrogeological methods to geothermal exploration.
