Bluff Stability Analysis Using 15 Years of Lidar Data
Geoscience Consultants, LLC (Geoscience) was contracted by McSweeney Engineers to examine some of the historical and physical changes to the bluff shoreline at Magnolia Plantation along the Ashley River. To help answer these questions Geoscience leveraged about 15 years (2006/7-2020) of lidar data to assess elevation trends along the bluff shoreline in concert with the lithology and morphology of the bluff.

The Phase I project used a small marsh island on the Whale Branch creek to model processes that control marsh health and evolution in the larger Broad River/Port Royal Sound habitats.
Read MoreSea Level Rise and Infrastructure Vulnerability - Beaufort SC
This project focused on identifying the potential infrastructure problems that will exist as sea level rise (SLR) occurs and determining how those effects can be minimized or mitigated to ensure that the needs of both the local communities and the military facilities are accommodated. This is particularly significant in the Beaufort area due to the fact that water and sewer services are provided to the military facilities by the same regional provider that serves the local communities; and local roads, highways and bridges provide the only access to MCAS Beaufort and MCRD Parris Island.
Read MoreMarsh Migration - Technical Consulting
Geoscience performed a technical review of marsh migration models, the fundamental data sets and various parameters that drive model outputs.
Read MoreShoreline Analysis and Conceptual Design
Geoscience Consultants was hired to assess the historic shoreline trends and define the various sediment transport mechanisms at a hot-spot along South Padre Island. Based on the analysis, a low profile groin conceptual design using geo-textiles was also developed.
Read MoreGraveline Bayou, MS - Analysis of Marsh Elevations and Habitat Restoration Needs
To assess habitat restoration needs Geoscience Consultants was hired to examine marsh substrate elevation differences caused by the existence of a causeway running across the bayou. The reduced flow inland of the causeway may have limited natural accretion thus limiting the ability of the marsh substrate to maintain equilibrium with the optimum growth conditions.
