He is also an affiliate Professor of Land and Water Resources at the UPLB College of Engineering and Agro-industrial Technology, and also Affiliate Professor of Environmental Science at the UPLB School of Environmental Science and Management. Since obtaining his PhD in hydrology and water resources from Colorado State University in 1982, he has been involved in research on environmental statistics, hydrology and water resources development and management, and on the use of systems modeling and other systems research tools in agro-ecosystem and natural resources management. His current recent research work includes vulnerability assessment and risk analysis of agro-ecosystems and coastal areas due to global changes, assessment of hydro-meteorological hazards as well as analysis of appropriate strategies and measures for mitigation and adaptation, and on linking science and policy in integrated water resources management.
