Led by Dr. Andrew J. Davidoff, Ph.D., P.G., the firm applies decades of domestic and international experience in geology, geophysics, seismic interpretation, and subsurface evaluation to examine technical evidence and develop clear, defensible conclusions.
Based in Houston, Texas, A.J. Davidoff LLC
serves clients worldwide, providing specialized technical expertise for matters where understanding the geological evidence is essential.
What Is Forensic Geology Consulting?
Forensic geology consulting involves the scientific examination and interpretation of geological information in connection with a dispute, investigation, or legal matter. It can help clarify questions about subsurface conditions, resource development, environmental impacts, and other issues where geological evidence is relevant.
Forensic geophysics applies geophysical data and interpretation methods to evaluate subsurface features, seismic information, and other technical evidence. Together, these disciplines can help explain complex earth science questions and assess the technical basis of competing interpretations. A.J. Davidoff LLC evaluates available records and technical data to develop independent assessments tailored to the questions presented by each engagement.
