He also coordinates the working group of scientists studying the Carpathian environment and climate in the past and present, initiated by Past Global Changes – PAGES (Carpathian Climate and Environment Working Group), and is active in various professional scientific associations interested primarily in the Carpathian space and the environmental and climatic dynamics of this region, including Science for Carpathians, Mountain Research Initiative and the Carpathian Convention. His priority scientific concerns are aimed at assessing hydro-climatic variability throughout the Holocene, environmental history and anthropogenic impact on the environment over the last millennium, and the vulnerability of human communities to the impact of current climate change, being materialized by publishing a significant number of scientific articles in prestigious journals and coordinating three Web of Science volumes dedicated to climate change in SE Europe.
