Natural Resource Use

Many extractive industries, such as mining and fisheries, have impacts on the environment and ecosystems in which they operate, but supply products and economic benefits that are critical to our way of life. These businesses face increasingly stringent environmental assessment requirements. Baseline characterisation, impact prediction, and monitoring need to be defensible and withstand regulatory scrutiny. Poor statistics can derail projects or fail to detect real impacts.

What we do:

- Baseline environmental survey design

- Impact assessment and prediction

- Long-term monitoring programme design

- Before-after-control-impact (BACI) analysis

- Mitigation and offset modelling

Projects

  • Renewable Energy

    Wind, solar, and infrastructure projects need to demonstrate they can coexist with wildlife.

  • Conservation

    Conservation decisions need supported by robust evidence to demonstrate that actions are effective. 

  • Natural Resource Use

    Many extractive industries, such as mining and fisheries, have impacts on the environment and ecosystems in which they operate, but supply products and economic benefits that are critical to our way of life.

  • Research

    Academic and applied research demands methodological rigour and reproducibility.
