Client avoids excess project expense via experience and wide toolset. CLIENT NEED: For years the gun club shot at targets launched over an estuary.  For decades this seemed harmless.  But the shot was lead and after many years the State wanted to figure out where all the lead was and wasn’t.  Under several feet of water was a layer of unconsolidated sediment—black mayonnaise.  Below this strata was a layer of more consolidated sediment and then under all of this, bedrock.  … Continue reading “CASE STUDY: A Million Dollar Difference”

We live sediment.  Sometimes we even dream about it. If you need thousands of Grain Size analyses or just a few, Aqua Survey can collect the samples and perform Sieve or Hydrometer analyses for you. “Can Grain Size predict a sample’s potential for contaminant loading?” The answer is YES. A sample’s grain size can be a good indicator of contaminant loading. The amount of silt and clay in large part determines the level of potential contamination in a sample. Have … Continue reading “Can Grain Size predict a sample’s potential for contaminant loading?”

l just finished watching Ken Burn’s 10 episode documentary series on the Vietnam War. It was a tough watch. It has rekindled my determination to help rid Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam of the millions of unexploded bombs (UXO) that lie in wait; hidden in soils and rice paddies. It’s amazing that after all these years, they still accidentally detonate killing or maiming village children (mostly boys) and farmers. Aqua Survey is pleased to announce the availability of a new UXO … Continue reading “UXO Survivor to Break-Dance Advocate”

From the wrath of God to an abbreviated workday, humans have attributed some unusual meanings to eclipses over the years.  Other members of the animal kingdom aren’t too far behind when it comes to strange reactions. With today’s eclipse just a few hours away, we thought it’d be fun to take a look at a few of the unusual situations eclipses have created for both humans and animals. Hysteria and The Sublime Since perhaps our beginnings, eclipses have had an … Continue reading “Strange Reactions Throughout History and the Animal Kingdom”

Time was running out for the State of New Jersey.  They needed it done and done right. Client Needs: As a result of Super Storm Sandy, New Jersey’s channels experienced massive sedimentation. The question was, how much was directly attributable to the superstorm and what was the result of normal buildup processes? FEMA would provide the state with 75% matching funds for the dredging of any Sandy-related buildup. The State needed close to 3,000 sediment vibracore samples to be taken … Continue reading “CASE STUDY: 2,825 Sediment Cores in 3 Weeks”
