Duke University Women’s Panel Discussion
January 20, 2015
Geodynamics’ CEO Sloan Freeman was invited to participate as a panelist at the first “Women Leaders in Business and the Environment.” Held at Duke University’s Love Auditorium at the Nicholas School of the Environment, the panel also included the Director of Sustainable Business & Innovation from Burt’s Bees and Ocean Spray’s Director of Sustainability. The event was organized to highlight women leaders working at the intersection of business and environmental protection efforts. Geodynamics is a Woman-Owned Small Business, and co-founder Sloan Freeman was excited to speak with the students at Duke about the possibilities and challenges that exist for all small businesses and independent consultants working in the environmental field.
Partnership with East Carolina University for BOEM Coastal Restoration Research
November 7, 2014
Geodynamics has partnered with East Carolina University and the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management for research to support coastal resiliency in the state. In a two-year cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), the team will evaluate the long-term effects of Hurricane Sandy and look for ways to protect the coastline in the future.
Goals of the research project include synthesizing existing geological and geophysical data offshore of NC, evaluating available sand resources based on existing information, and identifying gaps and prioritizing areas for future geologic and geophysical surveys.
Geodynamics Licensed by NCBELS
July 29, 2014
The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors has renewed Geodynamics LLC’s license to conduct hydrographic surveys in the State. Our surveys continue to be supervised by a hydrographer certified by the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping / The Hydrographic Society of America, and are additionally supervised by a registered NC Professional Land Surveyor. Geodynamics is proud to be working with the NCBELS as the agency expands its supervision of GIS, aerial and hydrographic surveying.
Geodynamics prepares for Hurricane Arthur
July 3, 2014
With landfall of Hurricane Arthur predicted for Carteret County, Geodynamics staff is preparing the office for heavy rains and high winds. Our facility is built to the quality standards of an Essential Facility (like fire and emergency stations), to ensure that our equipment is protected during these events. To guard against data loss, our servers are further protected in an on-site cement bunker, in addition to off-site backups. Our team is on standby for rapid-response post-storm surveys as necessary, but we all hope for an uneventful storm and a happy 4th of July for all!
Geodynamics Prequalified with the NCDOT
June 18, 2014
Geodynamics is prequalified by the NC Department of Transportation to provide hydrographic survey services as a private consultant. Our application has been reviewed and approved by the GIS Branch, the Highway Design Branch, and the State Port Authority. Geodynamics has provided hydrographic survey services to the NCDOT in the past, including rapid response surveys of the Pea Island Breach following Hurricane Irene and high-resolution multibeam sonar surveys of the Morehead City State Port. We look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve the NCDOT and State Port Authority.
