GeoAg Mission Statement
GeoAg mission is to provide high quality services in consulting to the natural resources, environmental and engineering markets. To
achieve
this mission we aim for excellence in scientific analysis.
GeoAg is also committed to making the science cost effective and relevant to clients needs.
GeoAg Environmental Policy
This Environmental Policy covers all GeoAg activities carried out by GeoAg in the office and in the field, nationally and internationally.
GeoAg
- will identify, promote and strive to achieve best practice in environmental management systems and operations.

Soil Mapping
Vast improvements on traditional soil mapping can be made through the use of radiometric and other geospatial data. Detailed soil maps reflect the true variability of soils for agricultural planning.
|
Salinity and Roads
Salinity damage to roads is estimated to be $100 million pa. GeoAg has identified signatures that are likely to result in damage and further experimentation into breakdown mechanisms is in progress. |
|
 Contaminated Sites Seepage from industrial, landfill, tailings dams and wastewater plants may affect groundwater quality. Geophysical methods can locate seepage paths to guide remediation and recovery. GeoAg can select methods and design survey to meet specific client needs. |
 Farm Planning The farm and catchment planning service is focused on the client’s requirements within a framework of sound science and best practice. GeoAg utilizes the best available land information as a basis for this planning process. |
|
Catchment Studies
Catchments are dynamic systems of surface and ground water interactions. Geospatial data reveals these interactions and provides a basis for management. Clients requirements determine data used and if acquisition of new data is required.
|
Training
Courses on Information from Geospatial Data for Natural Resource Managers are facilitated regularly by GeoAg. Content includes data interpretation used to inform management decisions. |
