Desktop studies, environmental characterization, scoping studies, impact assessments and statements, and design criteria, built from publicly available data: models, hindcasts, reanalyses and observations.
All the data used in each study is also provided as a supplement. A scientist with a PhD reviews and signs every study.
Give us the coordinates of your point or area of interest, or upload your KML or shapefile, and select your project and study type.
A structured review of existing, publicly available information about a site or project area, drawing on published literature, open databases, maps, historical records and previous surveys. It brings what is already known into a single reference, identifies data gaps and potential constraints, and gives an informed starting point before any new investigation is commissioned.
Compiles and interprets existing public data to describe the physical, chemical and biological conditions of a project area, including oceanography, seabed features, water quality, habitats and species presence. It sets a preliminary baseline of environmental conditions, shows where knowledge is strong or limited, and guides where future field measurements would add the most value.
A systematic evaluation of the likely environmental and social consequences of a proposed activity, carried out at a preliminary level using publicly available information about the site and comparable projects. It identifies the main potential effects, considers alternatives, and outlines measures to avoid or reduce adverse impacts, giving developers and stakeholders an early understanding of the issues a project will face.
A structured document that presents the findings of a preliminary impact assessment: the proposed activity, the affected environment as understood from existing data, the predicted impacts, and recommended mitigation and monitoring measures. It provides a clear, organised foundation that can be refined and expanded as project-specific data become available.
Uses existing information to define the boundaries of a future environmental assessment, identifying the key issues, sensitive receptors and potential impacts that warrant detailed study. It focuses attention and resources on the questions of greatest environmental and stakeholder concern, and sets out a roadmap for the data collection and analysis still needed.
The environmental and site parameters an engineered system must be designed to withstand or accommodate, such as wind, waves, currents, water depth, seabed conditions and temperature extremes. Derived at this stage from publicly available measurements, models and reanalysis datasets, they give preliminary quantitative inputs for early-stage engineering and planning, to be validated with site-specific data as the project matures.
Each number records its dataset, version, access date and the SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact file.
Every file is opened after download. Its fingerprint, variables, values and area are checked; its time range and depth levels are recorded.
We analyse the data and write each study. A scientist with a PhD revises and signs every study.
Every subject comes with site-specific analysis: graphs, figures, images and tables, with interpretation and discussion.
Sources include Copernicus Marine, ECMWF, GEBCO, NOAA, USGS and OBIS, among many others. Each study names every source with its version.
Our price depends on the size of your area of interest and the study type. Send us your site and we will send you a commercial and technical proposal.
