Other areas of research activities include: land evaluation, geology, soil and environmental science including geomorphology (coastal dune fields), biocrystallisation and especially the use of soil and landform research in the management of soil, water and other resources. He has also initiated a comprehensive research program into aspects of the revegetation of coal, tin, gold, bauxite and mineral sand mines and processing waste materials which has received more than AU$1M in industry and government funding. He has developed a major research activity on the nature and management of water repellent soils.
