Geomorphology

SCL has been involved in geomorphological work for a long number of years, with our initial focus being on the blanket bogs but with a recent expansion into the full range of geomorphological assessment and services.

The range of technical services we offer includes:

• Peat (peat probing, 3D peatland modelling, peat condition assessment, peat stability assessment, peatland management plans, peat waste management)
• Soil classification & field survey
• Slope stability and geo-hazards (e.g. mapping, remediation, susceptibility and risk analysis)
• River-related assessment (e.g. fluvial audits, restoration and engineering design)
• Drainage schemes (e.g. SuDS, stream crossing assessments) for lowland and upland environments
• Morphological mapping and (historical) remote sensing analysis
• Bio-engineering, including assessment of vegetation strength relating to slope stability
• Terrain sensitivity in montane environments (e.g. recreational impacts, climate change issues, footpath design)
• Coastal studies (e.g. sediment movement, erosion and management)
