I. D. Dobreva's work applies remote sensing and geophysical imaging tools—especially ground-penetrating radar (GPR), a technique that uses radar pulses to see beneath the surface—to study plant roots, soil carbon, and landscape processes. Earlier work also examined mountain glacier dynamics and terrain shape (geomorphometry) in the Karakoram Himalaya using satellite and LiDAR data. More recent research focuses on using GPR to non-destructively measure root and tuber biomass in crops like peanut, sorghum, and cassava for agricultural and soil carbon sequestration applications.
