About us

The company specialises in near-surface and wind-farm geophysics, earthquake preparedness, and glacial hazard assessment and mitigation as core parts of our business. The company’s activities have been built up from previous work undertaken over the previous 15 years by Reynolds Geo-Sciences Ltd (RGSL), details of which can be found here.

Our personnel have worked extensively in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America and Antarctica on a variety of commercial and research projects. Our clients include the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO), UN agencies, engineering and renewable-energy consultancies, major manufacturing companies, other commercial organisations, and government agencies (e.g. Countryside Council for Wales).

In order to provide you with the best technical advice, our extensive commercial experience is underpinned by research that is often undertaken in conjunction with university research groups. Our research is frequently published in peer-reviewed international journals, details of which are provided within the Publications section.

Prof. Reynolds is the leading world expert on glacial hazard assessment and remediation and is also well-known internationally through his widely acclaimed textbook on applied and environmental geophysics, details of which can be found here.
