| Land and Water Management | |
| Services: | Fluvial geomorphology and landscape processes; Catchment and waterway sediment budgets and sediment sourcing studies; Erosion and sediment management; River restoration and natural channel design; Diversion design and management; Geology and sediment geochemistry. |
| Jobs & Clients: | Our key clients include the mining industry and Local and State Government, and as specialist advisors to major engineering consultants. We have been involved in a number of river diversion designs for major civil infrastructure projects. |
| Ecology and Impact Assessment | |
| Services: | Aquatic impact assessment; Assessment of biological and ecological processes; Freshwater and marine monitoring and baseline surveys; Sediment analysis plans. |
| Jobs & Clients: | Our key clients include mining companies, water management and natural resource management authorities, ports and harbour authorities. We have undertaken nearshore and deep sea fish and macroinvertebrate monitoring, coral reef monitoring and impact assessments that have involved risk assessment, biomonitoring of metals, and rare fish investigations. |
| Environmental Geochemistry | |
| Services: | Mine site drainage quality assessments; Mine void (pit lake) geochemistry; Marine and freshwater aqueous geochemical studies; Sediment-water interface processes; Acid Rock Drainage / Acid-sulphate sediment investigations |
| Jobs & Clients: | Our key clients include mining and natural gas companies, Local and State Government, utilities and infrastructure developers. We have undertaken aqueous geochemical studies in the marine and freshwater environments of Australia and extensively in the Asia Pacific region. These studies have involved assessments of the interaction of mine derived acid rock drainage with natural receiving waters, spatial distribution of sediment contaminants, geochemical speciation modelling of process water discharge to seawater and oceanographic/limnological geochemical process studies.with metalliferous and non-metalliferous impact, and are leaders in developing ecotoxicological monitoring protocols for waste water treatment plants in Queensland. This has included development of new toxicity testing procedures when required. |

| Services: | Waterway management planning; Catchment management; Environmental flow investigations; Environmental hydrology and hydraulics; Waterway health assessments, guidelines and standards. |
| Jobs & Clients: | Our key clients include Local and State Government. |
| Environmental Risk Assessment | |
| Services: | ERA and environmental risk management; Ecotoxicological investigations; Impact assessment; Research and development. |
| Jobs & Clients: | Our key clients include risk managers, mining companies, Local and State Government, ports and harbour authorities, and research collaborators. We have undertaken risk assessment for mines in Australia, the Asia Pacific region, Africa and South America that have involved assessments of environmental risk associated with metalliferous and non-metalliferous impact, and are leaders in developing ecotoxicological monitoring protocols for waste water treatment plants in Queensland. This has included development of new toxicity testing procedures when required. |
