Geoscience provided a range of wave forces on a raised seawall for Overstreet Associates. Waves were modeled using the Coastal Modeling System with wave values that were selected based on a 20-year review of hourly wave conditions and water levels. Wave forces were calculated using the Goda Formula for Forces on Walls from Breaking and Non-Breaking Waves and the Coastal Engineering Manual (CEM).

Resilience analysis and design for coastal flooding sources at interchange leading to Marine Base Parris Island.

This pilot study examined the water storage/flood resiliency value of lands upstream of urban/suburban centers under riverine dominated flooding. The goal was to develop a process that could be applied to other areas in the Southeast US.

Geoscience Consultants worked with the Lowcountry Council of Governments (LCOG) in developing a forward looking watershed management plan for five watersheds in the Lower Savannah. The area is directly adjacent to a major freshwater withdrawal that provides water to hundreds of thousands of people.

This project focused on identifying the potential infrastructure problems that will exist as sea level rise (SLR) occurs and determining how those effects can be minimized or mitigated to ensure that the needs of both the local communities and the military facilities are accommodated. This is particularly significant in the Beaufort area due to the fact that water and sewer services are provided to the military facilities by the same regional provider that serves the local communities; and local roads, highways and bridges provide the only access to MCAS Beaufort and MCRD Parris Island.
