These include:
- Research into the effects of vegetation on the speed and collection of carbon reservoirs in Icelandic ecosystems.
- Research focusing on the population size of wild mink in Iceland, natural population controllers and the effects of hunting.
- Research into the biology of reproduction and colonization of the Icelandic highland flora.
- Research focusing on bentonite as a binding agent and releaser of fertilizer in fighting soil erosion.
