- Sediment transport analyses mapping movements of adsorbed contaminants for regulatory authorities and industry (UK, Spain, Italy, South Africa, Australia and Malaysia)
- Granulometric analyses detecting and mapping soils and sediments that have entered surface waters from road and rail construction activities
- Forensic studies of foreign materials present in power plant, paper mill and oil refinery systems
- Surveys and evaluation of accumulated heavy metals and organic contaminants in plant and animal communities (bioaccumulation studies)
- Forensic analyses of plants and animals or their remains to identify sources of foreign materials, sequences of events and, in some cases, the conditions to which materials have been exposed
- Specimens prepared and photographed using “micro-studio” facilities. Examples can be seen in the UK Government’s Biodiversity Action Plan, UK Environment Agency’s ecological publications, a range of books and in materials used in the BBC’s David Attenborough series, State of the Planet
- Analyses of biofouling and epigrowth samples submitted by customers to establish prevailing environmental conditions (e.g. in industrial plants and in association with water-related developments)
- Mathematical analyses of physico-chemical and contaminant data sets from soils, sediments, groundwater and surface waters to establish trends and patterns or changes in conditions over time
- See also Meiofaunal Analyses
