Kris participates in the teaching of a geophysics course run by the National Parks Service in Chillicothe, Ohio.

In 2000, Kris, in collaboration with Adrian Popescu (Cambridge) and Tim Sly (Southampton) began a field project at the major Roman and Byzantine site of Noviodunum which lies on the banks of the Danube in eastern Romania. Major excavation seasons took place between 2005--2010. The project is currently being written-up.
