Groundwater, Carbon & CO₂ Assessments
We analyse peatland groundwater dynamics and carbon stocks to help you understand both hydrological and climate impacts. Through water-table monitoring and 3D hydrogeological modelling, we assess water flow, its interaction with surrounding ecosystems and potential environmental risks. Carbon stock estimation and CO₂ analysis clarify the impact of mining and other activities, supporting damage assessment, offset planning and progress towards climate-neutrality goals.
Peatland Surveys & 3D Modelling
We carry out comprehensive peatland surveys, including detailed bog mapping, accurate volume estimation and high-resolution 3D surface modelling. These data sets create a solid basis for planning peat extraction, infrastructure development and nature conservation measures.
GEST-Based Greenhouse Gas Evaluation
For degraded or rewetted peatlands, we apply the GEST (Greenhouse gas Emission Site Types) approach to estimate CO₂ and CH₄ emissions using vegetation as an indicator. This method allows site-specific evaluation of greenhouse gas balances and the effectiveness of climate-change mitigation measures.
Peatland Restoration & After-Use Planning
Based on these insights, we develop peatland restoration plans that transform post-extraction areas into functioning ecosystems. Our concepts aim to enhance biodiversity, stabilise hydrological regimes and reduce climate impacts linked to historical land use.
Flexible Methods, Reliable Results
All methods and workflows can be adjusted to your project needs and local requirements. We work closely with clients to adapt the methodology to specific goals, data availability and national guidelines, ensuring that you reach your environmental and economic targets.
