Dr. Zipper's research generated scientific information that aids management of land and water resources and development of related public policy. Primary areas were mined land restoration and water quality. His research areas were restoration of forested and aquatic ecosystems, and production of biomass, on reclaimed coal-mine areas; characterizing effects of mine discharge water quality in surface water streams; and landscape-level analyses of ecosystem recovery in coal mined areas of the eastern USA.
