Groundwater Plume Analytics®

Innovative. Unique. Powerful.

Our Groundwater Plume Analytics® tools take simple or complex numerical data sets and process them into meaningful and easy-to-understand graphical data outputs (i.e., analytics). These innovative and proprietary methodologies have been used by governmental agencies and industrial clients to better understand groundwater plume behavior.

Other Services

  • Ricker Method® Transect Analysis
    A unique way to evaluate mass flux (i.e., mass discharge or rate of contaminant flow) across an arbitrary boundary. This analysis uses the techniques of the Ricker Method® applied to contaminant data and potentiometric surface data to provide an indication of mass flux that is an improvement on traditional methods of mass flux calculations.
  • Ricker Method® Molar Trend and Molar Ratio Analysis
    Using techniques developed from the Ricker Method®, our team has developed easy-to-understand visual graphics to better understand parent/daughter degradation sequences. These graphics depict total molar mass as well as relative molar fraction trends over set time intervals for a defined monitoring well network. This analysis helps provide a better understanding of parent/daughter attenuation rates and mechanisms.
  • Environmental Forensics
    Our Groundwater Plume Analytics® experts understand the power of converting complex data sets into easy-to-understand graphical and animated outputs. We have worked with attorneys, insurance companies, and industrial clients to help them better understand the dynamics of groundwater plume behavior, plume movement, source identification and/or commingling, timing of releases, and other similar questions that might be related to potential or actual litigation cases.
