We install monitoring wells in dikes, brownfield sites and other locations to capture data on groundwater and potential contamination.
Our understanding of fluvial geomorphology, the interactions between streams and soil, is fundamental to our river projects.
We use computer modeling tools such as AERMOD to integrate source pollutant emission rates, meteorological data, and terrain data and estimate pollutant concentrations at downwind receptor locations.
Our environmental investigations are the foundation for much of our remediation work, and the first step toward cleaning up contaminated soil.

Fluvial Geomorphology
Fluvial geomorphology is a fundamental component of GeoEngineers’ river projects. Our scientists’ demonstrated expertise in the fundamentals of fluvial dynamics and applied geomorphology gives us a basis for sound, scientifically based evaluations of physical riverine processes, such as historic changes in channel form, current channel stability and river-floodplain interactions. These skills are critically important in GeoEngineers’ river restoration and fish passage barrier removal projects. A healthy, integrated riverine ecosystem must be built around carefully designed channels and flood plains. To create sustainable and fish-friendly designs, our team considers physical characteristics and processes of the watershed, infrastructure design, and the habitat and geomorphology of the river both up and downstream from the project site.
