Research areas:

• Interactions of the sea, the atmosphere, and the continental hydrosphere
• Marine hydrodynamics – currents and waves
• Ecohydrodynamics
• Water wave theory and non-linear waves – the stochastic method for ocean wave analysis, statistical analysis and risk assessment (probabilistic characteristics of wind- wave free surface elevation and the maximum individual storm wave height, long-term statistics, and wave climate)
• Extreme storm events in the ocean, coastal extremes
• Sea state modelling based on system identification methods
• Operational oceanography – wind wave and ocean circulation forecasting based on observations and numerical modelling
