My research interests revolve around information processes and the role they play in shaping our environment:

I. Nonlinear systems analysis and modeling, space-time patterns of environmental change, natural hazards and their human impact; main application areas:

• volcanic seismicity;
• climate variability.

II. Information processes involved in environmental systems and human-environment relations:

• information processes and semiotics in geoscience, environmental science, and complexity theory;
• the dynamics of information, including analog-to-digital conversion and virtualization;
• implications of information processes for education and research, including geographical information science.
