Database Development and Support
Development of intuitive databases structured for client use, accompanied by training and other support.
Data Analytics and Management
Providing high quality and understandable data for our clients and end-users is the backbone of our business. Our data science team offers foundational services in data management, data delivery and metadata, and robust analytics to optimize survey designs and develop machine learning models.
Our data team sets high standards for data quality and pride ourselves on providing well organized, easy to use and understandable data products.
We approach each project and dataset with a critical eye to match the clients’ management, regulatory, or development needs with scientific questions and methodologies.
Drawing on experience across regions and data delivery formats, we mine resources across public, academic, and gray literature data sources. We take nothing at face value and review metadata and research methodologies for every data source.

US EPA Dredged Material Monitoring
Our data scientists worked closely with representatives from the U.S. the Environmental Protection Agency to develop an intuitive database for EPA to utilize in tracking dredging projects and beneficial use applications. This database combined two previously separate work streams to improve management of dredged sediment and coastal resources.

Regional Wildlife Science Collaborative Regional Sediment Mapping
We developed a regional sediment distribution model using publicly available data and machine learning algorithms. This pilot project was conducted in collaboration with the Regional Wildlife Science Collaborative and included input from regional experts, as well as recommendations for data sharing and model improvement in the future. This study culminated in a peer-reviewed manuscript: Mapping seafloor sediment distributions using public geospatial data and machine learning to support regional offshore renewable energy development (Capizzano et al. 2024).

Benthic Procurement Strategy
Benthic surveys are often bundled into larger geophysical or geotechnical campaigns and treated as minor procurement decisions. But these “minor” choices can carry hidden consequences.
