• River System Development and Sedimentation: Focused on transboundary basins such as the Zambezi, Limpopo, and Orange Rivers, the research examines sedimentation dynamics, channel morphology, and drainage basin provenance. This research informs sediment management to support equitable water allocation and sustainable basin governance.
• Hydro-Geomorphic Modeling: The research integrates geological, hydrological, and spatial datasets to model flood risk, erosion hotspots, and sediment budgets. These insights support the planning of climate-resilient water infrastructure and riverine ecosystem sustainability.
•  Marine and Coastal Ecosystem Resilience: The study is focused on seafloor bed sedimentation and contributes to the restoration of marine environments through enhanced sediment stability and habitat regeneration. This work supports blue carbon storage, biodiversity recovery, and coastal community livelihoods.
• Paleoclimate and Paleohydrology:Using sediment cores, the study aims to reconstruct long-term hydroclimatic patterns, providing historical baselines that inform adaptation strategies for water-scarce regions.
• Geospatial and AI Applications in Water Monitoring: The research employs satellite imagery, UAVs, and AI-driven models to monitor seabed changes, assess water quality, and develop early-warning systems for flood and coastal risks.
