Planning today for tomorrow
A changing climate will result in more extreme weather events as well as further gradual shifts to our seasons and lifestyles, including our health. How we design and build today will determine our quality of life moving forward. Our goal is to help our clients be well informed and prepared for a future of climate uncertainty.
Join our climate risks and resiliency team!
We are looking for team members with an interest in the technical and social issues associated with the impacts of climate change on the built environment, the integration of climate change risks in life-cycle of infrastructure and asset management plans, and resiliency. Interested in knowing more? Click here and apply today!Climate Analysis
Our team of climatologists, engineers, and environmental scientists help you understand—and adapt to—a changing climate. They establish climate assessment timescales, determine relevant and plausible climate scenarios that impact projects, and generate local climate profiles that apply to the immediate and future challenges projects will face.Climate Change Risk Assessment
Whether for hospitals, roadways, buildings, water supply systems, or large-scale infrastructure projects, our team can produce—through rigorous data analysis and process—climate change risk assessments that help you plan how to best adapt to the challenges of climate change. Our vulnerability and risk assessment team identifies climate change impacts on your assets, and we deliver risk profiles and evaluations to prioritize your actions.
Our team can help you consider the impacts of climate change and craft a plan to adapt to the challenges it may bring.
