Conceptualization

LCG integrates detailed geochemical data and mining life cycle knowledge to develop comprehensive models that capture water-rock-gas interactions in subsurface environments. These models support decision-making for water and material management, treatment strategies, and risk evaluation. By leveraging a robust understanding of environmental processes and advanced geochemical methods, we ensure that our solutions are both innovative and sustainable, enabling our clients to make informed, cost-effective decisions.

Characterization

Accurate material characterization is the foundation of our work, providing the critical data needed for predictive modeling and sustainable solutions. Through advanced analytical techniques, we investigate material properties and interactions, offering key insights for managing environmental challenges. This comprehensive understanding allows us to optimize processes, improve predictive accuracy, and ensure our solutions meet both regulatory requirements and sustainability goals.

Geochemical Modeling

LCG’s expertise in geochemical modeling helps clients address complex geoscience and environmental issues by simulating long-term impacts of industrial activities. Our models offer a proactive approach to risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and sustainability, helping clients manage environmental footprints effectively. By forecasting various scenarios, we empower clients to optimize resources and improve project outcomes.

Forensics

LCG’s application of geochemical forensics encompasses the application of tracers, isotopes, advanced statistics, machine learning, and detailed analytical thinking to solve environmental puzzles. This method allows us to identify and delineate pollutant sources, track their movement through ecosystems, and understand the interplay between natural and human-induced influences. Our investigations provide evidence-based insights that drive effective remediation and strategic planning, supporting ecosystem health and building stakeholder confidence.
