Geomorphological investigation and assessment undertaken in the initial stages of a project provide the developer with a workable framework for future architectural and engineering overlays to meet the requirements of Compliance Agencies. C&R Consulting has over 20 years experience in marine, coastal, fluvial and terrestrial studies, and have provided services both academically and as private consultants to Local, State and Federal Governments, Industry and private developers.
C&R Consulting has a complete and thorough understanding of geomorphological processes, both spatially and temporally in natural and constructed contexts. Projects have included industrial and urban impacts on coral reefs, islands, coastal zones and river systems, including large-scale movement of sediments to the Great Barrier Reef.
Many years lecturing, researching, and working in tropical environments, has given C&R a thorough understanding of both the natural and anthropogenically induced elements of tropical ecosystems. This understanding allows C&R to propose realistic and economic solutions to potential environmental problems.
Examples of projects include: Hydrogeomorphic evaluations of river catchments; Geomorphological and ecological investigations of river catchments with high intensity groundwater extraction; Geomorphology and water quality of water resources flowing into the Gulf of Carpentaria; Fluvial geomorphological assessment of sand extraction; Coastal erosion and the impacts of climate change; Terrestrial and anthropogenic impacts on the morphology of corals and coral reefs; Hydrogeomorphic studies of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems; Sand resource, movement calculations, and mitigation recommendations for extractive industries; Hydrogeomorphic stability, constructed geomorphology and interactions of alkaline waters flowing into and through an acid generating mine site (Atlas Mine, Cebu, Philippines).
