Desktop mapping and surface observations only reveal part of the story. Understanding channel stability, floodplain evolution and catchment risk means uncovering what’s happening beneath the surface.
At Hydrobiology | Part of SLR, our team combines field investigations with laboratory analysis to develop a complete understanding of the processes shaping our waterways and landscapes.
Our approach includes:
- Vibrocoring & hand augering to recover soil and sediment profiles across wetlands, floodplains and river corridors.
- Core logging & subsampling to identify depositional layers, material changes and signs of historical disturbance.
- Exposed bank & headcut assessments to interpret channel evolution and depositional processes.
- Laboratory testing to assess soil properties, erosion susceptibility and potential contaminants.
- By integrating field observations with laboratory analysis, we deliver geomorphic risk assessments and rehabilitation strategies that are evidence-based, practical and tailored to each site’s unique conditions.
- Whether supporting environmental impact assessments, river restoration or catchment management, our geomorphology specialists provide the scientific insight needed to make informed decisions.
