Ecology | Geomorphology

Applied geomorphology (ie. analysis of surface deposits for management purposes) plays a key role in understanding the landbase, whether used by itself or in conjunction with other analsis techniques.

• Interpretation of northern areas
• Cartography of surface deposits
• Identification and measurment of borrow pits
• Planning and optimisation of road networks
• Terrain stability analysis
• Analysis of management constraints
• Identification of sensitive areas (instability, poor drainage, thin soil, etc.)
• Decision support for prospecting operations
• Legal expertise and expert testimony
