Natural Resources, Climate, and Conservation

Conservation Planning

We can help you identify and prioritize land for conservation or evaluate the environmental characteristics of land you’re already planning to conserve. We use spatial analysis tools to identify opportunities for habitat restoration, visualize ecological features, and quantify land use patterns to give you a holistic understanding of your landscape. We can model emerging threats, identify future concerns regarding the health of ecosystems, and assess the impact of recommended conservation measures.

Land Use and Land Cover Analysis

Our team of environmental professionals, data analysts, and planners use the latest remote sensing and parcel-level data to track changes to land uses and land cover over time. We use this analysis to inform natural hazard risk assessments, land acquisition strategies, and environmental monitoring plans. With our tailored approach, organizations can confidently make informed decisions, ensuring sustainable land management practices and effective conservation efforts.

Surface and Terrain Analysis

Our team of geospatial analysts have experience with all aspects of surface data collected via photogrammetry, lidar , and multi-beam sonar, including acquisition, quality review, and modeling and analysis. Surface and terrain models serve as fundamental components in our support of environmental and engineering endeavors, providing crucial insights and facilitating informed decision-making. Leveraging our expertise, we ensure precise representation and interpretation of terrain features, enabling organizations to tackle challenges and optimize solutions with confidence and efficiency.

Habitat Restoration

Our team, comprising analysts, scientists, and planners, has specialized expertise in habitat suitability, species distribution, and climate change impact analysis, facilitating the planning and execution of intricate habitat restoration projects. Leveraging a wealth of data on species distribution, vegetation, soil, elevation, water quality, and climate, we conduct thorough assessments to inform strategic restoration initiatives. We also offer diverse services and skills in long-term monitoring of vegetation growth, species resurgence, and habitat conditions, to support  sustained success for your restoration endeavors over time.

Terrestrial Resilience Analysis

Harnessing the collective expertise of our environmental professionals and GIS analysts, we investigate the intricate web of factors contributing to terrestrial resilience. Drawing from cutting-edge research in resilience science, we tailor our analysis to address the specific interests and concerns of our clients. Our comprehensive approach encompasses the evaluation of biodiversity, habitat connectivity, and ecosystem services, enabling us to precisely identify and quantify the resilience levels of landscapes. By providing insightful assessments and actionable insights, we empower organizations to make informed decisions and foster sustainable stewardship of terrestrial ecosystems.

Fire Risk, Response and Recovery

Our multidisciplinary team of environmental professionals, data analysts, and planners offers comprehensive support in fire response and recovery efforts. Using advanced modeling techniques, we analyze fire history, frequency, severity, and environmental conditions such as fuel load to assess vulnerability and inform strategic planning. Beyond  assessing risk and mobilizing immediate response to fire incidents, we specialize in evaluating the environmental and infrastructure impacts of recovery post-fire. From developing fire response plans, including evacuation routes and resource allocation, to facilitating long-term recovery efforts, our expertise ensures holistic and resilient approaches to mitigating fire risks and fostering community resilience.

Climate Vulnerability Assessment

Our team of environmental professionals, GIS and data analysts, and planners track the latest developments in actionable climate-based geospatial data. From sea-level rise to wildfire vulnerability, extreme temperatures, drought, and exacerbated flooding, we continuously monitor and analyze a wide range of climate indicators. By using our insights at appropriate scales, we conduct comprehensive assessments to estimate the potential impacts on assets of interest, providing invaluable guidance for strategic planning and risk mitigation efforts.

Sea-Level Rise, Flood, and Erosion Risk

Our multidisciplinary team of environmental professionals, GIS, and data analysts specialize in assessing sea-level rise, floods, and erosion using diverse natural hazard datasets. We evaluate risks regionally and at the building level, providing comprehensive insights into asset vulnerability. Integrating climate change dynamics, our forward-looking assessments anticipate evolving risks to landscapes. With meticulous analysis, we empower organizations to proactively mitigate risks and safeguard assets against natural hazards.
