Risk and impact assessments
Ecosystems face potential impacts from natural events and human activity. Quantifying that impact is difficult given uncertainty and variation across space and time. Impact assessments and risk analyses need robust, defensible conclusions that can withstand scrutiny from regulators and stakeholders.
We provide sound statistical foundations for assessments across:
- Renewable energy projects
- Mining and resource extraction
- Conservation interventions
- Marine fisheries management
- Land use change and development
This includes designing baseline and ongoing monitoring programmes, assessing impact effects, projecting population changes, evaluating the likely effectiveness of mitigation and offset activities (and how to measure it), and sensitivity analysis.
A team that understands your problem, core statistical principles, and the natural variability in ecological data strengthens your ability to deliver credible results.

Survey Design
Having representative, robust and sufficient data is fundamental to making reliable decisions and conclusions about the natural world.
-
Data Analysis
Identifying an appropriate method of analysis can be challenging, let alone actually doing it!
