Charles B. Pyke, Ph.D., Principal Scientist and Primary Expert Witness of Associated Science Experts, LLC, American Weather & Earth Sciences, LLC, and  Environmental Science & Energy, Inc., offers a variety of coastal and oceanographic research and development, studies, and services, including:

• Beach and coastal cliff erosion research and studies on various scales.  [See also Beaches, Harbor, Marina, and Wetlands Protection and Restoration Services  as well as  Climatic and Air Quality Research and Studies.]

• Beach protection, replenishment, and restoration services.  [See also Beaches, Harbor, Marina, and Wetlands Protection and Restoration Services.]

• Bridges:  design, design review, and inspection of  bridges over bays, river estuaries, and waterways, including railroad bridges, in compliance with the Federal Railroad Administration's 49 CFR, Bridge Safety Standards, requiring annual inspections of all railroad bridges in the United States and determination of the safe load capacity of each railroad bridge.  [See also Bridges....Structural Integrity Inspection and Railroad Bridges: Required Structural Integrity Inspection]

• Coastal engineering studies and services of many types.  [See also Beaches, Harbor, Marina, and Wetlands Protection and Restoration Services.]

• Coastal flooding, coastal flood plain determinations; preparedness programs.

• Coral reef studies and environmental protection programs  [see also Environmental and Natural Resources Research].

• Deep-sea research and studies.

• Long-term sea level fluctuations; implications for global warming.

• Ocean-atmosphere interaction; effects of ocean temperatures on weather and climate on scales from local to global.

• Ocean currents.  Possibility of changes in currents resulting from global warming and polar ice melt.

• Ocean floor geophysics, deep-water marine geology.

• Ocean wave energy development; siting of locations.

• Oil spills:  research and studies on expediency of clean-up and minimizing of environmental damage.

• Paleo-oceanographic research and exploration.

• Satellite oceanography:  detection of small sea level changes and sea surface temperature fluctuations.

• Sea level rises over the decades - a possible indicator of global warming.  

• Sea surface temperatures (SST):  large-scale, multi-year sea level and sea surface temperature fluctuations.  Effects on El  Niño, La Niña, Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Madden-Julian Oscillation, Kelvin waves, and seasonal weather patterns.

• Storm surges and high waves:  damage potential, risks to life.

• Thermo-haline circulation modeling.

• Tidal energy development; siting of locations.

• Tsunamis:  research, modeling, risks; preparedness and evacuation programs.

• Undersea fault studies [see also Earthquake / Geology / Seismology and Geotechnical Engineering Studies and Programs].

• Water reclamation research, studies, development, and services.

• Wave energy development; siting of locations.

• Wetlands and coastal wildlife habitat research and studies, plus protection, preservation, and restoration services. [See also Beach, Harbor, Marina, and Wetlands Protection and Restoration Services.]
