Uurimisvaldkondadeks on hoovused ja veevahetus väinades, vee biogeenidesisalduse dünaamika sõltuvus hüdrodünaamilistest protsessidest, hüdroloogilised frondid, vahetusprotsessid vee ja põhjasette vahel, mere hüdrodünaamika 2-mõõtmelised numbrilised mudelid, mudelite rakendused hoovuste ja veetasemete uurimises, resuspensioon, ekstremaalsed veetasemed, kõrgetest veeseisudest, rannahoovustest ja tormilainetusest põhjustatud rannapurustused ning sette transport. Omaette publikatsioonide-tsüklid moodustuvad teemadel: (I) Hoovuste ja veetasemete mõõtmine ning modelleerimine Liivi lahes ja Väinamerel, ning (II) hüdrodünaamiliste protsesside mõju vee biogeenidesisaldusele, vertikaalsele vahetusele, põhjasetetele ning rannikuprotsessidele. (III) On ka koostööartikleid meretoksikoloogia ja kalauuringute vallas ning Läänemere ökosüsteemi kui terviku võimalike muutuste kohta.
