Any project...
Sterling Geoscientific LLC (S-GEO) provides comprehensive hydrographic survey services tailored to support maritime archaeology, subsea engineering, infrastructure development, offshore wind projects, and environmental resource assessments. We are not just a survey company—we are a team of highly trained scientists with advanced degrees, including PhDs and Master’s in archaeology, geology, and environmental sciences. Our interdisciplinary expertise enables us to approach each project with a deep understanding of both the scientific and regulatory frameworks guiding marine and coastal resource management.
Any where...
S-GEO has the capability to mobilize into the field and collect high-resolution geophysical and remote sensing data using industry-standard technologies such as multibeam echosounders, side scan sonar, magnetometers, and sub-bottom profilers. Alternatively, we can integrate and interpret pre-acquired datasets provided by project stakeholders or public repositories, allowing us to offer flexible solutions that meet the specific scope, timeline, and logistical needs of each client. Our team routinely produces detailed desktop studies, literature reviews, and background assessments that contextualize project areas within their geological, archaeological, and environmental frameworks, supporting compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
Whether acquiring new data or working with existing datasets, we synthesize complex information into technically rigorous deliverables, including interpretive reports, GIS products, and supporting documentation that withstand peer, agency, and legal review. At S-GEO, we bridge academic precision with commercial applicability, ensuring every output meets the highest standards of scientific integrity and operational relevance.
