Analysis

Identification, detection, measurement

Detection and quantification of chemicals and advanced materials of emerging environmental concern in matrices and application of forensic tools to establish chemical structure and degradation products to understand potential risks and develop effective management options.

Exposure Assessment

Fate and transport, site characterization, bioavailability, trophic transfer

Development and application of predictive models to enable rapid characterization and prioritization of emerging contaminants for further evaluation and sites requiring risk management.

Effects Assessment

Toxicity, mode of action, adverse outcome, hazard analysis

Application of both traditional and new approach methodologies (NAMs) to understand and accurately characterize effects and quantify hazard.

Risk Assessment and Management

Qualitative and quantitative risk characterization, alternative analysis, life cycle assessment, cost analysis, remedy development

Utilization of computational tools, screening-level risk models and comprehensive assessments to support Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH) management needs and identification of treatment and remediation processes.

Data Analytics and Information Management

Information technology, data management, software engineering

Use of cutting-edge information technology; including high performance computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence; to better understand and manage data.
