Our forensic methods include reconstruction of operational histories; chemical fingerprinting; and advanced statistical, hydrogeologic, and fate and transport modeling. These methods are invaluable when evaluating plume behavior, sourcing, co-mingling, and other litigation-related issues. Our scientists and engineers are leaders in using these methods, along with in-depth research, to produce scientifically defensible outputs to assist attorneys, insurance companies, and industrial and commercial clients in better understanding their potential liability at upland or in water facilities.
