Radiochemistry & Inorganics Analysis
SwRI’s ISO 17025-certified laboratories provide analysis of radionuclides and other environmental contaminants in water, soil, air, flora, fauna, and other media. It is our goal to provide analytical and general chemistry support at the highest level of fidelity. If you need high-quality targeted and non-targeted analyses of materials, including those with potential radioactive contamination, we are here to assist you.
Hydrologic & Geologic Modeling
Our Earth Science section conducts a variety of projects regarding hydrologic and geologic resources, including those that may be impacted by radiological activity. Our scientists can help assess current and future risk to surface and ground water resources with analysis of water samples or complex groundwater modeling studies.
Public Outreach Services
We help communicate effectively with stakeholders on difficult, technically advanced topics. Let us help you develop and execute efficient and successful communication plans. Our comprehensive services include facilitating large public meetings, responding to public comments, small group workshops, staff training, and development of educational materials.
