Data collection, analysis and management
Use of the most appropriate data is vital for our projects. Presentation of study outputs in formats that are easy to interpret is an important part of communicating results with our clients and other stakeholders. Our expertise in this area includes:
- Development of in house software to easily analyse and present large datasets
- Preparation of detailed survey briefs, including LIDAR and traditional survey
- GIS (ARC, MapInfo and QGIS), including mapping and custom plug-in development
- Post flood collection of data
- Collection and assessment of historical rainfall and streamflow data
- Advice on design of hydrometeorological gauging networks
- Advice on data management and integration
- Interpretation and analysis of numerical weather prediction and climate model outputs
