A major focus of his work involves modelling, field measurement and development of assessment tools for soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions from soils. Developed a web-based tool (COMET-Farm) for estimating on-farm greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration used by USDA and project-scale systems for GHG assessment of sustainable land management projects in developing countries. Served as a member of the US Carbon Cycle Science Steering Group.
