CSE maintains expertise and has utilized a wide variety of numerical models for evaluating waves, tides, currents, tidal circulation at local and regional scales, and related hydraulic processes.  CSE combines extensive hands-on experi­ence in field data collection with state-of-the-art capabilities in modeling to provide credible analyses for clients.

Our approach to analysis of shoreline modifications or natural changes insures that model results will be realistic and as accurate as possible within the limitations of clients’ budgets.  CSE solutions to erosion, predictions of future changes, or recommendations for environmental enhancements are practical, cost effective, and appropriate for the setting— based on a sound understanding of the natural system.
