He serves on the Steering Committee of the Mediterranean Experts on Climate and Environmental Change (MedECC) and as a member of the Facilitation Team for the Future Earth Water-Energy-Food Nexus Knowledge Action Network. His research focuses on climate change impacts, particularly water and energy security, renewable energy sources, and energy- and water-use efficiency in the built environment, building on earlier work in geophysics and glaciology. He has coordinated numerous European Union, European Science Foundation, and national research projects in Germany, Finland, and Cyprus. Key publications include 'Climate change and interconnected risks to sustainable development in the Mediterranean' (Nature Climate Change, 2018), 'Climate change and impacts in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East' (Climatic Change, 2012), 'Impact of climate change on the water resources of the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East region: Modeled 21st century changes and implications' (Water Resources Research, 2011), 'The ice thickness distribution across the Atlantic sector of the Antarctic Ocean in midwinter' (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1987), and 'Development of sea ice in the Weddell Sea' (Annals of Glaciology, 1989).
