GIS-Based Environmental Analysis: Compile and analyze spatial data related to habitat, land use, hydrology, and sensitive resources using ArcGIS or QGIS. Generate maps and spatial products that support environmental planning and impact assessments.
Environmental Monitoring Program Design: Support the development of monitoring plans for air, water, and soil quality at project sites. Contribute to sample design, instrumentation selection, and data-logging workflows, ensuring alignment with regulatory and project-specific standards.
Environmental Impact & Toxicology Assessment: Conduct preliminary environmental and toxicological evaluations for proposed geothermal well sites or infrastructure. This may include analyzing potential chemical exposure pathways, reviewing toxicological reference data, and preparing screening-level assessments to support NEPA/CEQA documentation.
AI-Assisted Environmental Modeling: Use AI-powered tools to organize, analyze, and model environmental datasets such as groundwater chemistry, air emissions, soil sampling results, or ecological survey data. Develop predictive models to identify potential environmental risks or areas requiring additional study.
Regulatory Compliance & Permitting Support: Assist in preparing environmental permit applications by compiling supporting data, reviewing regulatory requirements, and coordinating with internal teams. Use AI tools to summarize regulatory documents and streamline compliance tracking.
