About Coastal Systems Research & Planning

Our team of experts has extensive experience with mapping and spatial analysis of  coastal environments and assets.  We utilize advanced technologies such as LiDAR (terrestrial and mobile), multibeam sonar, RTK GPS, and photogrammetry using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to provide clients with a complete "picture" above and below the water to provide effective management solutions.

Our team can provide hydrodynamic and morphologic numerical modelling services for multiple uses including: Long-term sea level rise and storm impact assessments, coastal resilience project alternatives analysis, sediment transport predictions for sediment management and permitting.  

With over 40 years of combined experience in the industry, our team has extensive experience designing and conducting field soil, sediment, and water sampling campaigns. This includes water and sediment quality, geotechnical samples for structural applications, and physical parameters of water bodies including currents, waves and tidal elevation measurements.

We are committed to providing beneficial use solutions to manage dredged sediments. In particular, we focus on design and planning of natural and nature-based features for resiliency in the coastal zone. We and our partners specialize in sustainable solutions to dredge material management that can realize additional benefits to coastal communities/habitats.
