Del uses geospatial analytics to investigate a wide range of interdisciplinary problems related to seafloor exploration, earthquake science and passive underwater acoustics. He develops algorithms and remote sensing technologies to chart the geology and biology of the seafloor, detect and analyze seismic hazards and study underwater sound and its ecological implications. Other interests include archaeological geophysics, specifically the use of shallow geophysical imaging techniques in archaeological prospection and forensics.
