Geology and Geophysics
SSP&A provides services in geology and geophysics as both stand-alone scopes of work and as components of multi-disciplinary projects.
Geology Capabilities
A thorough and nuanced understanding of local and regional geology can play a critical role in developing hydrogeologic conceptual models and in studying groundwater flow and contaminant fate and transport.
SSP&A's Geology services include:
- Development and evaluation of 3D conceptual site models
- Geologic modeling
- Geologic site-characterization, investigations, and mapping
- Field management, drilling, and oversight
- Design and management of geologic databases
- Interactive 3D geologic visualization
Geophysics Capabilities
Geophysical methods are increasingly used in site-characterization and hydrogeologic studies to provide continuous and detailed information of the subsurface. Incorporating geophysics at the outset of a project can improve project outcome and reduce overall costs. SSP&A has expertise in geophysical data collection, modeling, and interpretation of near-surface geophysical data and models.
Geophysical services include:
- Assistance identifying benefits, limitations, and expected outcomes of geophysical methods for specific projects
- Collection, modeling, analysis, and interpretation of geophysical data
- Water-table imaging
- Incorporation of a-prior information into geophysical modeling
- Reprocessing and modeling of geophysical data
- QA/QC of geophysical data, models, methodologies, and interpretations
